    Following on from this thread and dotorg's generosity, I got a play with Sineadw's Polaroid Express last w/e. Even though we're so accustomed to seeing images on the back of digital cameras, there's still something magical about an instant print.

    woo polaroids
    Haven't taken any in a while, despite having a pack of 100c in the back of my bronica. These are a few I've taken in the last year though, 6x6cm on type 100.

    Since we're just doing the peel apart film, I won't take the thread off topic with integral film.

    All shot on a Hasselblad 500c/m with 60mm f/4.

    :D

    I'm having *so* much fun with this camera :) (not to mention SinisterDexter and Xia and Buzzlightyear and Th0nda the other night in the pub - see DotOrg - it's being well used already :) )

    FP100c In Sligo the other day (thanks Dakar :) )

    Sadly all my 600 shots are even older again due to my refusal to prop up the despotic impossible regime (yet ...)

    Polaroids are for lazy people who are too comfortable to develop their own films or to sit for a while in front of their computer. And I am off to e-bay to find some cheap Polaroid back for my Hassy now... ;)

    Make sure you don't get a type 80 one, there were two popular pola backs for the hassy, a type 80 one and a type 100 one. Type 80 is a discontinued square format pack film, fuji never made an equivalent like they did for type 100. Just a FYI.

    got a free 600 the other day,one of the horrible 90's plastic ones :(
    but the key word here is free :)

    ...now to hunt down some film for it!

    Being given a free 600 camera nowadays I think is akin to being given a free crack pipe. The pipe is cool and all, but the crack is going to set you back a bit :)

    Here's a type 80 from even longer ago. This was before I found out the correct way to actually peel the things ...

    an old 600 shot (badly scanned :/ )
    4228363929_49f178eefd.jpg

    and one from a camera that I tested in a thrift store that just happened to have some ancient film in it
    5196055315_b2f8f69a8f.jpg

    my first camera was a polaroid so it's always so nostalgic shooting em. I think my 600 camera is broken but I have a fully funcional one waiting on me in Seattle that works and I can't wait to get my hands on. Just wondering...if you put a roll in a 600 camera, can you take it out and put it in a different camera, or would it get burned up?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,503 ✭✭✭smelltheglove


    I have a 600 lying around and was never able to find film for it. Pics I took with my old one in the 90s still look good though. I wonder will thy ever make a replacement film for it though.

    you can get it online here if you want to fork out an arm and a leg http://shop.the-impossible-project.com/shop/

    Gunns are stocking it at the moment, they have black and white 600 for about 20 quid a box, but even John Gunn himself thinks it's too expensive and says instax is better value! I have an instax back for my Diana+ which I love, but there's far more variety with the different types of polaroid film than there is with instax

    You can pop it out and put it into another camera all right. You'll expose the top sheet, but it'll be ejected anyway once you put it into the new camera. Do it in subdued light and the rest of the pack should be fine.
    Alternatively if you don't want to waste a shot you can exchange it in a completely dark place, but stick a darkslide into the pack so that the top sheet doesn't get ejected when it's put into the new camera.
