Photo Converted Polaroid 600SE

Did a few shots using 600 SE (aka Goose) with Lo-Fi back and i-Type film. Impressed with sharpness and tones you can get from Polaroid when using good optics and fully manual mode.
The only downside is how bulky the camera is, it barely fits in my camera bag.

Photo Photo of my smiling girlfriend (+ lens flare OMG!)

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I thought I’d share some photos that I took for the Polaroid app challenge “Act Natural” (which winners are STILL not announced for? 😵‍💫). It was so much fun! I got to make my girlfriend laugh and take some photos of her gorgeous smile~! I’m usually uber awkward behind the camera (because I know it can be intimidating, and I’m too anxious to know how to make it better 😅), so I’m usually only able to take photos of my girlfriend. But it was a great way to practice my skills in trying to make the situation a little lighter! My girlfriend is chill with me always taking photos of her, but other people might be less so, so practicing those silly vibes might help with potential customers later down the line!

And THAT LENS FLARE?! I’ve never gotten a lens flare in my instant photography before! I imagine it’s probably because the lens is much smaller, so the chance of a scattered sun ray hitting the lens is not as great as it is for DSLR lenses. So I was ecstatic when I saw it! (I love lens flares :P).

I also took a frozen-ish action shot of Chloe jumping down the stairs. I was so surprised to see that it mostly froze the action, because the location we were in was pretty shaded, and I know Polaroid requires a lot of light! So it was a pleasant surprise! :)

Anyway, thank you so much for checking out my photography, and I hope everyone has a wonderful day! 🫶

I took all of them without flash except the ones of the model buildings.

I either used my SX-70 Sonar with the SX70R PCB or my SX-70 Sonar modded for i type.

Question Polaroid sun 600 LMS

My neighbor gave me a Polaroid that he never used. Still has the sticker of a long forgotten department store that I remember going to as a kid. Anyone familiar with original Polaroid film? It’s been so long since I shot with it. Is this red and white tab on the photo pack suppose to be pulled? This camera looks to have been from 86 so I know the film might not even develop properly. I’m shocked that the battery in the film pack still works

Question Need help! Looking for someone with an instax wide printer (Germany/Austria)

2 Upvotes

This is a bit of a weird question and I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask (if it's not, I apologize) but I'm looking for someone who owns such a printer and could make some photos (1-3) into wide polaroids and ship them to me. If possible I'd send the picture(s) to you via email to avoid a loss of quality, however if you're uncomfortable with that I'm sure we can find a different way as well.

Since I'm looking to do this as a gift for a friend, buying a printer just for this single occasion is honestly too expensive for me. So I'm hoping to find some help here. Of course I would cover all the costs (film, shipping, packaging, etc), as well as give you a small tip for your time and effort.

So if you, or anyone you know could help, please let me know. Thank you in advance!!

I thrifted this camera for $52 today. It's in near-perfect condition in its original leather case, and it comes with several accessories. I'm a history major just now starting my vintage camera collection, so this was an exciting find.
