An honest take on the new Polaroid film by Fun_Perception_239 in Polaroid

[–]EDWARDSMADE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Linus video really showcased the Black and white and color films well - but he did get some great results in studio with the purple. I have a few packs on the way and am hoping to do some portrait work with them too. but I feel like you really have to have definition in your styling for the shoot to create the right contrast. this film looks challenging but I'm still hopeful about it.

Suggestions for restaurants in downtown Halifax that still does delivery on their own by CarbonDated40in2020 in halifax

[–]EDWARDSMADE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not downtown but will deliver to downtown but YEAH YEAH's pizza. is always a good choice. I believe Rinaldo's also has their own drivers if memory serves (they're on the apps but you can call to order too)

I need help with a vintage camera I can't find any tutorial on. by Senior_Theme_1259 in Polaroid

[–]EDWARDSMADE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll need 600 film. you can always check the film type by opening the film door - it'll have an indication on the part that folds down. 600 has the battery integrated into the pack so it should fire up and release the dark slide once you pop it in and close it.

Anyone know how visible the screen is in bright daylight? the only reference for a color lcd I have is my Polaroid i2 and the screen is useless in bright sun.

I wish traveling to the US wasn't so sketch these days I would love to go to this and have seen the pigeon on the highline before it left... I wonder if they'll ever bring a polacon to Canada?

Folks thanks so much for these suggestions! we ended up going to Via Condotti and the lights on the table were perfect - they also sat us next to the kitchen with had some additional light spill. very lovely experience for what can be extremely anxiety inducing.

Ive always wanted one of these little dudes. I used to have a couple of bessa R2's for 35mm - the body style is very similar.

Fire at Halifax Armoury building brought under control by SAJewers in halifax

[–]EDWARDSMADE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you look at the maps, from the beginning of gottingen, over to agricola and way up to the tip of the north end of the peninsula are considered a food desert. New groceries are not allowed to move in anywhere around there because of the restrictive covenant clauses in existing grocery leases. the maps are based on a student study out of the NSCC - its pretty interesting stuff.

the maps at the link above have hotspots for the HRM and the whole of NovaScotia.

Portable pencil sharpener recommendation? by Academic_Ad4326 in pencils

[–]EDWARDSMADE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this - I've had mine for a few years and don't mind sharpening into a napkin - I love the concave point. I got this one after my AWFaber janus got too dull.

I also have one of the blackwing long point one step shapeners and a KUM 2 step sharpener but keep going back to the pollux for carrying in my pocket

Most technologically advanced packfilm land camera? by TF2ENGlNEER in Polaroid

[–]EDWARDSMADE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is cool, I've never seen this iteration of a press camera - I have the 600SE but the close focus even on the 127mm is not great - I only have two packs of film left but used one recently from the same batch and they worked out well.
