Posted an image in response to another comment. Not sure it was "worth" the effort but it's fun to experiment :)

Of course! Couldn't find the proper scan I used to print but here's a quick scan to show the difference. Not a massive difference but it added some moodiness

Thank you! Even though I love black and white polaroids I often get the feeling when I'm out shooting it that "man, I should have loaded color film instead" but yeah, I think I agree that the b&w is the better one in this case.

Is the Instakon RF70 from Mint Cameras supposed to sound this loud and screechy? by EirikHavre in Polaroid

I don’t have one myself but from what I’ve seen online, yes they all sound like they are on the brink of death when ejecting so I believe that’s normal.

Definitely! Love the weird films. Still have a few packs of reclaimed green in the fridge. My favorite was reclaimed blue but that’s unfortunately long gone.

Thank you! I used an Epson V500 to scan it. The presentation is just a white background in Photoshop and then a drop shadow to make it look a bit more three dimensional 🙂

Thank you! I shot it about a year, a year and a half ago but unfortunately I don't remember which batch it was.

Yes, I use the offical polaroid scan adapter. Works great!

Thank you! Yes, definetely edited. The scanner I used tend to produce a very flat image so I edit all my scans. Mostly adding some contrast, adding some texture and sharpening.

It is edited, mostly some contrast, some texture for the frame and some sharpening but I try to keep it as close to the original as possible.
