Then, close the door shut and wait for the dark slide to come out immediately after. Polaroid SX-70 viewfinder. But here’s the crux of the story – the original Polaroid was an end in itself. The Polaroid was the object, the finished product. And finally, for me at least, while the new stuff is shit, it’s still sort of Polaroid. It’s a bitter-sweet experience shooting it because it reminds me of what the real stuff was like and I know I’ll never get to shoot it again. And although I’d much prefer that the new stuff was way better than it is, I can’t quite bring myself to let it go. Each film type fits a specific model of Polaroid camera with some only compatible with specific cameras and others cross-compatible with others. Polaroid film is best known for its instant print images with high contrast and a vintage appeal. Perhaps the most sought-after quality of the Polaroid SX-70 lens is the bokeh that you can get with it — especially when photographing at short focus distances in the shade with no flash and a steady hand (or a tripod).

Polaroid makes 5 types of Polaroid instant film that fits specific cameras with only two Polaroid films being cross-compatible. For example, both Polaroid 600 film and Polaroid i-Type film will work in their respective cameras but new Polaroid 600 film will only work in vintage Polaroid 600 cameras. Polaroid 600 and Polaroid i-Type film will both work in the new Polaroid cameras like the OneStep2, OneStep+, Polaroid Now and Now+ cameras, but these films won’t work in the Polaroid Go camera due to the camera’s small size or Polaroid SX-70 film camera because the film will get too much light (without a neutral density filter). Also, SX-70 film and Polaroid Go film will only work in their respective cameras. If you are concerned about ease of use and consistency in results, Instax may be a better choice. But if you want to have the best lens* and the most elegant camera — nothing beats the SX-70. Yes, it's SUPPOSED to be quoted in line pairs. As you say, after all, there has to be a contrast between lines. However, both film and lens makers started just saying lines so they could double the public perception of their film and lenses. If both Brand X and Y are 50/lpmm, and Brand X decides to overstate their specs by saying it resolves 100 lines, Brand Y is going to see that as unfair competition and also advertise 100 lines. That's how standards become meaningless. As of 20-30 years ago, the figure quoted for the same film would be stated as both lines and line pairs. In a situation I'm thinking of, the film would actually meet the line pairs spec so they weren't cheating but also maybe got negatively compared by people who were.The 500, 600, and Spectra/Image materials do not use a gelatin-based emulsion, and cannot be manipulated this way. Let’s get this straight right off the bat; the real SX-70 film was in another universe from today’s in terms of vibrancy, consistency, longevity; the works.

Using flash can also be troublesome as the MiNT Flashbar 2 isn’t powerful enough to light anything further than five metres/16’. The bokeh will become significantly less permanent with the flash but may still be noticeable at the shortest focus distance.

I used to love shooting this stuff in low light. An SX-70 is fully auto exposure, but the shutter would stay open for ages if you were game enough to try to hold one still with all that mirror-slap. SX-70 cameras operate slightly differently from other Polaroid instant cameras, so they need their own film. The biggest difference is the ASA – SX-70 film is roughly ¼ the sensitivity of 600 film, so it needs a lot more light to get a good photo. All folding-type cameras (except the 680/690 SLR models) use SX-70 film.Naturally, care needs to be taken while handling tools made more than half a century ago. But in general, SX-70s should be able to handle normal operation without falling apart. Polaroid SX-70 camera bellows are made to last.
