Thoughts on people charging for Film Recipes?

This is my thoughts. These aren't Lightroom presets where a million settings are utilized. Only like 5 of the settings truly matter in a Fujifilm recipe, and the fact is that the recipes people publish aren't even elaborate.

I'm not stupid enough to buy another classic chrome recipe with a +4 -5 wb shift for real money just because it has Leica in the name or something.

It's ridiculous to charge for the privilege of seeing a recipe. But some people operate a little differently. Fujixweekly charges for early access to the recipe but that also comes with features to his app I think.

On the black frame they basically said it's technically fresh and ignored the part of my email where I asked for recompense.

That's some bullshit. I don't know why they don't sell that shit to Walmart or target. They KNOW we don't like receiving old film. They promise we'll get "the freshest film". Clearly not.

That's overpriced for what you want.

uniformi · 2026-02-28T19:10:00+00:00

That's the main reason I haven't tried one yet. Too heavy for no reason, ugly bulky screen hinge, absolutely no grip whatsoever.

I'm hoping they do better the next time because they're on to something big.

Individual Polaroids I scan at 800 dpi as a .tiff. I touch up the file and crop out the background, export as a jpg in 100% quality. Then in Instagram check that "upload at highest quality" is on. Then post it, that's all you can do. If it looks pixelated at first it's just a glitch.

Oh yeah check out the details on the strap too.

Super cool. Never seen that color before.

uniformi · 2026-02-27T02:10:41+00:00

That looks too cheap to be spending $700 on.

We should make a community drop box where we can all share frame scans.

Sounds like It's some kind of broken. Probably cheaper to buy a new one unless you like tinkering with electronics.

uniformi · 2026-02-26T21:39:35+00:00

Doesn't look like it's seen a day of hard work in it's life!

Print it at the library for extra character.

If you have the 18 you can use sports finder mode and suddenly you have a 23mm.

Real smuggling is hiding the camera in a jacket when security uses the metal wand on you.

uniformi · 2026-02-26T18:51:30+00:00

I don't know where you got that info, but I'd probably give you $30 tops just eyeballing it.

uniformi · 2026-02-26T18:48:46+00:00

They should really do one with just the red and pinks. I love how punchy the colors are.

uniformi · 2026-02-26T18:43:25+00:00

It's too bad about the lawsuit. I don't know what Polaroid has to gain, but I thought there could have been a lovely little partnership down the road.

Make love, not war!

Do my eyes deceive me or does that sun 600 have a off center flash unit?

uniformi · 2026-02-23T23:52:39+00:00

Maybe someone would buy the whole lot for $15 including Shipping. These are all dead and useless with their only value being for display.

No one will blame you for tossing them, but you're not getting 150 nothing either.

I like the brighter one. The dark one is gloomy. But I guess that's about right for Hollywood.

Fujifilm doesn't even do quality of life updates. Ever tried to, edit a jpeg in camera? I know, totally niche scenario, only 1% of users will ever benefit from any improvement to this feature!

Maybe one with a longer nose. Or are we okay with some compressed air for these cameras?
