Packs 1 and 2 of 3

I am a bit late to the party but I thought I’d share. This was a first for me where I ended up bringing a lunch box to keep my film cool. It worked pretty well!

SX-70 and Impossible B&W film circa 2011.

Model is Tabitha Elm

Taken with expired film on a Polaroid Sun 600 LMS

Seattle, Washington, United States

Said screw it and installed it. It works!

Some of my favorite photos from the last few months. For the flowers pics with the bees they were landing too far away so I had to wait awhile until one got close enough 😂

I was recently gifted this secondhand Polaroid with some film, I tried taking a couple pictures with different lighting, with and without flash but they all came out like this. I even tried waiting for the camera to focus before actually taking the last picture but it didn't work.

What could be the problem? The film production date is 11/23, could that be it?

Thanks in advance for any answer!

I always pray that I don't get any batches that produce green tint even at high temperatures.

Shot on SX-70. More photos on my blog on my website.

Polaroid 660AF. It's so hard to get a photo of her, she just wants too many pets. Was so surprised at how well this camera exposed her fur, usually she's pretty blown out. This camera has been an excellent investment as an affordable backup camera.

Our plans are to just take simple pictures of people who visit us for couchsurfing, and special occasions like family gatherings.

Part of the fun in such occasions is to let the kids and visitors watch the image develop.

I have read this page. Apparently the film needs 15 minutes to develop, while Instax needs 90 seconds. Also it needs 30 days to fully develop before I sleeve it.

So my question is: Do I have to follow these guidelines strictly? Or will it be ok if I let people watch it develop for 15 minutes in a normally lit room? And can I just put it in my album after a day or two, and it will be fine? The result doesn't have to be perfect, just good.

Or should I just get Instax for my needs? I really want to support a European company, and I also like the Polaroid design and large square picture format, so that's why I am leaning towards Polaroid.

Thanks for looking.

Took these to compare to my first pack, which I’ll make a separate post for.

I would like to modify my Impulse AF so that it can use i-Type film, but I couldn't find the instructions for how to dismantle the camera. I decided to dismantle it myself. In the end, it was done without destroying the camera. I'm adding a GIF gallery of pictures of camera parts with details.

Hopefully this will help someone in dismantling the camera. Maybe I'll deal with the procedure of how to dismantle these cameras without destroying them.
