SO PLEASED TO BE ABLE TO GET THIS FILM SINCE I HAVE AN OLD CAMERA USED FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS WHERE WE WANT THE PICTURE NOW. FAST SERVICE TOO. JEAN SISSON
Hopefully it was only this batch, but as the film has gotten so expensive and difficult to find, I won't be able to afford risking it again with this provider. this film arrived quickly and fit the camera just fine. however, even though the expiration date said 2009, the film had clearly been tainted in some other way, left out in heat or cold, or something, because the color was very poor and the pictures never really fully developed, maintaining a fuzzy, orange-ish color.
spent too much money at walgreens, so i ordered these instead. I can tell you i was not dissapointed.
(this directly from the mouth of a Polaroid rep i just spoke with). then you also have to do a physical mod to the film pack slot so a 600 pack will slide in, getting around those little metal tabs problem. you'll have to do some searching around yourself, and you'll find Web sites that explain how to do these mods yourself, as well as the site that belongs to the guy who did the mod for me.
you can hack the built-in light sensor window and install a round piece of plastic to change the light sensor's behavior, if you have the nerve and the skills and the tools to do the physical mod yourself. if you want to keep using Time Zero film, you'll pay as much for a couple of packs as a professional modification to the camera costs. as Amazon probably doesn't like reviewers linking to external Web sites, i'm not going to link to the site that belongs to the guy who modded my SX-70 for me. it accepts the 600 film packs without any hassle, correctly exposes it, and i get excellent results, and at about $12.00 to $13.00 a pack, Polaroid 600 film is basically the same price as Time Zero film was years ago when it was in stores. the SX-70 has NO film speed adjustment. so you pay about $1.30 per shot.
Hi. you might have an old Polaroid SX-70 camera (introduced around 1973 at a retail price of $300.00 to $350.00). it cost me $100.00 for these modifications, but i dealt with a local pro who has done it to hundreds of SX-70 cameras. and come the end of 2009, there won't be ANY new 600 film produced any more. if you store it SEALED in its box in your refrigerator, it'll extend its expiration from months to up to a year. well the answer is yes and no.
about the only place to find it is at that huge online auction site i won't name but you know who i'm talking about. the ultimate solution is to have a pro make both an internal electronic modification to adjust the camera's light sensor circuitry to be happy with 600 film, AND make the physical mod to the film-loading slot so the 600 packs slide right in just like good old Time Zero packs did. just don't freeze it. so you're asking yourself, can i use Polaroid 600 film packs in my SX-70 camera. well, the SX-70 CAN be modified in a number of ways to let it use 600 film and expose it correctly for excellent results. you can buy a Neutral Density (ND) filter that snaps on over the little light sensor window on the front of the camera next to the shooting lens, but that's a "band-aid" solution, as the filter sticks out, preventing you from folding the camera back down unless you take the filter off.
and Time Zero film sells for insane prices. and have vanished from stores. you'll need to modify the camera both physically and electronically, but if done correctly, 600 film WILL work correctly in a modified SX-70. so it's both a physical modification to the camera, PLUS an electronic modification to its internal circuit board to fool its light sensor into using 600 film packs.
first the no part. then i went to a local store and bought a few fresh packs of 600 film, and this 35 year old camera now has a new lease on life. PLUS, 600 film packs, although they look identical to Time Zero film packs, also have some little metal tabs on them that Time Zero film packs don't have. AND to get around those nasty little tabs on the 600 film pack cartridges so it slides right in just like Time Zero film. Time Zero film was two stops slower. so what to do. if you visit polaroid.com and read their news area, you'll learn that they are phasing out ALL their instant films (many like Time Zero are already long-gone). so if you have one of Polaroid's later, cheaper cameras like the One-Step, and you want to keep using it, stock up on 600 film while it's still out there.
if you want to use the still-produced 600 film in your old SX-70 (regular or Sonar auto-focus models). this is what i had done to my Vintage 1973 SX-70. which means you have to go through a song and dance just to get one to fit into an SX-70. 600 film has an ASA speed of 600. there's no reason your former $350.00 camera has to spend the rest of its life as a paperweight.
since he was local to me, he picked up my camera, did the mods, and brought it back the next day. and if you do store it in your refrigerator, before you plan to use it, take it out of cold Storage and let it sit at room temperature for at least two hours. SX-70 film packs, which became Polaroid "Time Zero" film, have not been made for a few years. and then if you shoot pictures, they'll come out totally washed-out and over-exposed because the SX-70 can't handle the much faster 600 speed film. sitting in a drawer or closet that you haven't used for years.
normally at CVS, a regular 600 film pack, (NOT a twin) is around $20. FOR TEN PICTURES. buying a twin pack of polaroid film on amazon is around half as expensive as it is buying it at CVS or other stores. go amazon, much cheaper. ridiculous.
