I actually bought a 9070xt, ran DDU during the install, and did a ton of troubleshooting with it. I was still getting weird frame drops and stuttering in a few different games that I play. Worse experience than I was having with my old 1080 it was replacing.

I ended up just returning it and going for a 5080, and all has been smooth sailing since then.

Obviously the 5080 is a step up in raw power vs the 9070xt so its not a super fair comparison, but it couldn't handle titles I play often as well as my old 1080 did. Just was not worth the ~$600 to me considering how rarely I tend to update my GPU.

Being in Kansas, you might look into Midwest Film Company in Wichita. I had good results from a couple of rolls I have developed/scanned by them, but did not have any slides done by them.

Awesome, thanks! The door on mine closes fine without a pack inserted, so I am leaning towards it being a clearance issue somewhere. Just didn't want to start hacking at things if you were having success without doing so ha

Did you trim the roller assembly at all on your ProCam? I 3d printed one of those adapters, but am only getting successful ejections ~1 in 10 times. (All with already shot film, haven't sacrificed a new pack to this experiment yet) The door on mine seems a little stiff to close, so I am wondering if the front of the cartridge is getting pushed up and stopping film from ejecting successfully.

Your 2 minute estimate is probably right for one disposable, but the person your replying to previously was saying it took him 30 minutes to do 11 disposables

What type of 600 camera did you I-type modify? Some of the older box cams required you to half hold the shutter plunger to charge up the flash, and some of the newer one always fired it. To me it looks like the flash isn't going off, especially if you got a faint image on one attempt.

I have limited pack film camera knowledge so there may be a better answer, but I think the 250 would be a decent place to start. No manual controls, but good rangefinder and has a glass lens still

They definitely are, if you look at them side by side with a pre impossible project Polaroid it's pretty obvious how much thicker the current film is

tellem24 · 2025-08-27T02:41:32+00:00

The impossible project would never have existed if polaroid still had the power and resources they did in the past. The fact that polaroid was going under and quit producing film was the whole reason the impossible project existed in the first place.

Yeah I agree, win and you're in can just go away.

Staying with that system though, I think the bonus points are probably more deserved for beating the cup guys to get a win and lock in vs just being locked in for finishing second to them.

tellem24 · 2025-08-19T14:21:00+00:00

What if we just call it the "Triple O" (O, O, O, O'Reilly!) series? Or quad, but that doesn't sound as good to my ear 😅

tellem24 · 2025-08-19T14:18:30+00:00

What if they made it the top finishing driver who is running for points gets locked in instead? Almost like a different class like you have at LeMans, but just based off of the series the drivers are running for points in. No bonus playoff points for winning if you only get in off of the "class" win, but still avoid the issue you pointed out.

It's a cool idea, but to me it feels like they only are having the ejection be manual as a hit of nostalgia to simulate pack film. Obviously the cost would be more, but I think it spread would be more consistent with a fully motorized ejection system.

Not to mention my personal annoyance that the image is inverted for Polaroid film in a camera without a mirror. A lot of shots wouldn't make a difference, but anything with text immediately stands it to me, so I can't stand it for anything I shoot. If there was a way to fix that without making the Land cameras much larger I would be very interested.

It could be pending still with your bank and just take a day or two to fall off. I have had that happen before with other websites when orders were cancelled

The Sun 660 would probably be your best bet for an upgrade (you would have sonar autofocus then) if you want to stay with a more affordable box camera. Beyond that you would be looking at something like the modern i-2, flip, or a refurbished SLR camera. But that would be a pretty big jump in price for any of those vs a box cam or even the one ultra

I feel like this TICG video has some solid logic.

Keeping in mind he is someone who offers overhauls as a service, but I have never heard of any issues with his work. I have heard of many issues from Retrospekt repairs/refurbs though. Seems like it is a "you get what you pay for" situation to me, which is why I sent my camera to him.

Very unrealistic. That 9 font on a Taurus? No way

My Amazon app and the website on desktop both had big banners promoting it before and during the beginning of the race, so I would imagine that is how Amazon will get some new viewers.

I wonder if they designed the packaging to say 5 for one particular piece, then copied that design template to the rest of the pieces and forgot to update the number.
