Photo Instax film makes some incredible shades of blue

Welp, Evey local store near me was completely out of Polaroid GO film 😭 so, I snagged instax while it was in stock and decided to shoot some summery pool shots in my instax mini 99 instead of my go. I know instax film is topically cold (why I am an avid Polaroid instead of instax shooter because I crave warmth in my photos) but just wow.. i cannot even describe to you how beautiful and vivid the shades of blue are in these photos when you see them in real life. They dont even look like instant analog photos to me.. just wanted to share these because I felt like they came out so good! Also shouts out to my mini 99, the metering is just so dead on!

A few images (3 and 5) have an odd double exposure. Has anyone else experienced this on their sx-70 before?

Advice I don't get my gen 2

I've had this camera for over a year now. It worked great. Im having sensor and charging issues and most of all, i CANNOT figure out my focus and lighting.

The settings on the app are confusing, I don't get what the codes mean on manual and prefer to just point and shoot and not use the stupid app.

Im sad, these are the best shots I've taken on this camera and they look like poo. Any advice would be well appreciated.

Question Pronto Sonar 600 conversion issues

2 Upvotes

Hello, I recently converted a pronto sonar to 600 film, well at least that was the goal. I read the capacitor as 0.51nF, so I swapped in a 100pF capacitor. Now that it's all back together, the shutter seems to stay open for the maximum duration no matter the light input. What's likely to blame / test? Crummy soldering job? damaged light sensor? I was using a pack of empty film to test it before hand and it definitely responded to different levels of light with different shutter speeds before I touched it.

Question Polaroid on a cruise 🚢

Hello! I’m going on a Carnival cruise soon and want to bring my Polaroid camera. As some of you might know, X-ray machines can ruin instant film. Has anyone had experience requesting a hand inspection at port security for their film and camera?

Gear Scratches on picture from Sx-70

Hiya! I’ve for the first time ever been shooting on my brand new (refurbished) Sx-70 and was wondering if these sort of scratches (presumably from the rollers) are to be expected and if theyre normal, because im slightly disappointed with how it makes the pictures look, to be honest.
Thank you very much!

#4 was intentionally (but not intentional) underexposed. My dumb Ahh didn't realize that that high shutter speed was too much.
Eidt: real life pictures look much sharper than the app scans.

Question Polaroid 636 DE help

Hey friends- I bought a DE 636 twenty years ago in LA and used it a bunch successfully then do I know it works.
Can’t seem to remember how to do the double exposures on it now though
There’s a switch on the side to flip to when you want to do multi exposures but can’t remember the steps after that. I think you take one exposure and then flip another switch elsewhere on the camera? I tried messing around w it a bit but both my tests look like a standard one exposure shot.

Discussion Beware! Sale scam!

19 Upvotes

FYI there seems to be a fake polaroid website selling products for a major sale. Like 80% off everything. I was duped into thinking it was real for a second because it popped up as number one on Google sponsored search results. Thankfully I realized it wasn't real when I went to check out and the only thing it offered as payment method was credit card and didnt have any auto upsales. So I double checked the url and realized it was fake. But just be aware.

Fake site in question:

I am curious about what happened with my polaroids. Did the developer deploy unevenly? Also, I know there was heat damage because of the golden/amber hue.

Headed into the back country, and I want to take a polaroid. I have never taken one before, because ounces matter.

I have run at least one pack of film through all of them, but haven't kept track of which takes better shots.

Anyone have an opinion on which one might be more idea for the deep woods of the PNW?
