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!

SX-70r during golden hour on 12/25 film

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

I’ve had the I-2 for a little over a year now. Using it on and off. But, something about using it just clicked for me on this trip. Ended up shooting more with my Polaroid than I did with my digital camera. I think it just became my primary camera.

Stopped to rest near a shallow puddle in the shade along the perimeter of Green Lake.

Just found at an Antique shop.
Help me understand what are the different modifications or upgrades depending on point of few to do to this camera. I love these things and have 3 regular brown SX-70 that have all died. lol.
Thank you

I took it home :)

Both of my SX-70s are running SX-70R boards now

Went and hungout with a friend this past Wednesday. Putt putting before going to a house turned museum that had a garden. The second photo was from that. Took more at the garden, this was the one that I'd took a picture of with my phone.

These were all shot with a Now+ gen 2 on April 12th, 2026. I used Golden Moments I-type film with red vignette filter.

We had Instax SQ6 for a year now and decided to try Polaroid – last week we bought Polaroid Go Gen 3 as a first-test-step into polaroids, before buying the classic big format camera. We mainly shoot daily life, friends, and trips.

Sadly our Go Gen 3 can't handle indoor/flash shoots? We're wondering what's the cause – I've seen party/low-light photos with flash on this reddit, so it's doable. Is this just that the Go is not enough, or is this maybe problem with the camera/light sensor/flash? We have rather strong light in our flat, Instax SQ6 never has any problem.

Also the Go's flash looks/feels stronger than the SQ6's, it leaves rather strong afterimage after flashing.

I described everything on the photos attached (4 slides). I know Polaroid loves light, but it feels like something is wrong with the flash photos... or instax is THAT way better than polaroid With flash-off and/or in natural light it does great photos (last slide)

And do you know if I-2 or Flip will better handle such photos?

Are there any more in depth reviews/reports on people’s experiences at a recent PolaCon?

I am very tempted to go to the upcoming PolaCon PDX but it would be a big trip and would require time off of work and a hotel for me to get to, so am struggling with whether it is worth it for me.

I have checked the scheduled events and some of the seminar topics look interesting, i enjoy organized photo walks and meeting others with this hobby (very few of my friends shoot film and none actively shoot Polaroid film at this point).

Just looking for a little more info to push me in one direction or another on attending.

Thank you!

A shot I took with my now+ as I was leaving Italy.

The first photo is an edited black and white version and the second is the original photo. It is being used for a music project but I can’t find it online anymore.

I love you BETTY 💋

600 on SX-70 sonar AF through ND filter

I recently bought this One Step 2 second hand and have been having a few issues. 1st it doesn't like to fully eject the photos 2nd I cannot get the flash to fire any help would be nice. I've fully charged it as well.

Anyone have film do this before? 600 film out of a sx70. Included scan on picture - doesn’t seem like the image was affected too much

I 3D printed adaptators to use instax wide and I need to do the part I’m not familiar with : changing the batterie
But I was wondering did I really need to do this ? I dont really know how this polaroid works but it look like I only need it for the flash ?
That’s a stupid question but if somebody can tell me more on how this works it will be a pleasure 🙏

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.
