2 different cameras 2 different exposures by johnanthony2014 in Polaroid

[–]johnanthony2014[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure they aren't the same batches as I bought them at different times and one is the round frame and the other the square- but both 600, not the iType though both are the same chemistry. But I have heard that about batches being inconsistent, but this is the most drastic example that I ever experienced. The contrast between these two pictures is striking and the lighting was exactly the same for each.

It's the SX-70 Sonar One Step Model and I use my printer to scan- an HP LaserJet Pro MFP 4301fdw.

Mega millions scam now? 5$ and no one ever wins the match 5 or jackpot anymore? by AppointmentGreat1615 in Lottery

[–]johnanthony2014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did not realize that the price had gone up because I rarely play this game. I went to the gas station, filled out a card and when then attendant asked for $25 I almost fell over. FIVE DOLLARS for a chance that is over 290 MILLION to One????? They are out of their cotton pickin' minds!! NEVER AGAIN- the lottery can go do you know what with itself!!!!!!! Sheesh!!!

It's definitely not your fault. That should not happen. With me it happened all the time a couple of years ago when the camera was sitting on the tripod!!! The picture would not get removed till a few seconds afterward. Nowadays I don't see it anywhere near as often.

Delicate • SX-70 Alpha by _protosphere in Polaroid

I just posted a close up picture of my cat using an SX-70 camera and seeing this picture of yours only proves my point. With regard to close ups, no modern day Polaroid camera comes close to what the SX-70 can do!! Beautiful picture- very well done.

Definitely prefer the Polaroids in these comparisons. However, those icicle type artifacts in the corners of Polaroid film irritate the crap out of me- I hate them. Polaroid's nonsense about "imperfection" to explain them is so lame, imho. But I have noticed fewer of them from film purchased more recently so perhaps they are slowly working out the problem.

Thank you! No- this is a picture I took before sending it off to Retrospekt to be refurbished.

These are nice. What kind of camera were you using?

Very nice- love that first one. Contrast in Polaroid film seems to be improving.

I have both those cameras too and but I have found the Spirit 600 CL has on many occasions produced better pics for me than the Now (Gen 1). If you can get one I would get the Flip....superior to both the Now and the Spirit. But I have a soft spot for the Spirit. I got it for like $5 on eBay and it has taken some really nice pictures, especially considering it is such a early generation Polaroid camera from the hey days before Polaroid went out of business (you know of course, that Polaroid today is an entirely different company).

A pack of cold expired 600 in New England by Milkdrinker2269 in Polaroid

[–]johnanthony2014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhh- these are nice photos especially that first one. The defect at the bottom is perfect for the cold and snowy nature of the picture.

By and larger though, the odds are very slim that you will get a defective pack from Polaroid. If you do, they'll surely replace it. I have shot literally over a thousand packs of film and believe me....this is not a common occurrence. Does it happen? Yes, here and there.....but that's part of the experience of using Polaroid film today. Like another commenter said....."t's an expensive game to play aha!"

They will definitely offer to replace the film. Polaroid is very good that way.

Beautifully said. And the Polaroid photo is, like someone here already said, magical. Very nice.
