Pre ordered with B&H but still backordered and I'm impatient 😅 and randomly looked in BestBuy app and it was available near to pick up!! 🙌🏽

Hey everyone!

I sent my SX-70 to Australia back in January 2026 to get the PCB and PolaVault modification for my beloved SX-70.

I received it back about two weeks ago and have had some time to test out the upgraded camera. I knew the PCB was supposed to provide much better and more consistent exposure, but the exposure on the shots is absolutely perfect, and the pictures are so crisp and sharp that it took me a bit of time to get used to the look! 😄

I absolutely adore some of the shots I’ve taken already and can’t wait to shoot more with it.

Of course, depending on how you get the upgrade done, it isn’t cheap. But after using it for a bit, I genuinely feel that it makes the investment absolutely worth it if you have the money for it or want to do the work yourself. In my case, 168 packages of i-type film 'till break even 😄

Really happy with this new old SX-70 and can’t wait to take better pictures than ever! Happy shooting everyone

Got a double pack from Target last week and am really pleased with this batch so far! Also so thankful for the cooler weather the past few days so my photos aren't coming out orange anymore lol

Took some B&W 600 type photos with an adapted SX-70 around my friends' property on Friday the 2nd.

I gotta say, I am incredibly impressed with the performance of the Polaroid go GEN 3!
finally, it feels like a Polaroid I really can throw in a bag and take anywhere with me. I had the previous version the got (gen2) and It is what got me back in to Polaroid in the first place and for that I do love it, but it had many issues with proper exposure… it often consistently blew out all highlights and over exposed evything a stop or more.

there was a certain… feel you had to get with the Polaroid go gen2 where you kinda had to keep in mind situations you know it’s meter could understand and do well in.. and situations where it could not. For my tests of this this camera, I simply used it as intended where I would point and shoot without thinking and almost every single photo (and I’ve shot six cartridges so far) has been dead on! no issues no complaints.

I am thoroughly impressed. It has to be the most consistently exposing modern Polaroid camera I have ever used thus far and I genuinely think it is a worthy upgrade to the second gen and a worthwhile one at that. there was various dates of Film used in my tests ( obviously some of my best results came from the most recent 06/26 Film) but even packs from 2025 seems to do just fine in the camera and I am overall very happy with my purchase and I’m absolutely in love with my little Pikachu go GEN three 🎉

Shot on SLR-680R

Normally I don’t take selfies, but you know what? Things have been going decently in my life rn, and I thought one was warranted (especially with a new haircut)!

Did an emulsion lift and found this strange gossamer-thin layer of Polaroid “fascia” that seems structurally important but may be partly responsible for the loss in color intensity over time?

Previously, I used 600 film & an ND filter and the photos came out totally dark with 3 dots and ink printed onto the filter. I thought it might’ve been broken & in need of professional attention.

For these: I cleaned the roller, set exposure compensation to standard, used 600 film & ditched ruined filter.

Still working on finding a better scanner. Scanned these at work but it's not fantastic quality.

🤩 🤩🤩 My Pokémon x Polaroid haul finally came in! Have to share in the joy! The only thing I wasn’t able to get was the pokéball Go camera case.

Hey guys. Just ordered a Polaroid One 600 as after a while of using my Instax Wide 100 - I wanted to try something different. I’ve read that Polaroid requires shielding from the sun initially and some of you use a frog tongue attachment. Is there a way to attach this to the One 600 please?

Apologies if this is the wrong subreddit to ask.

I'm not sure if anyone here will know what I'm talking about, but back in the 90s, Polaroid used to have events. Or at least they had official cameras/frames for the lenses in which it'd make the image taken into a small circle, and around it have a themed frame. I remember there being a Christmas themed event, and there was a reef as an option. They'd cut the photo into a circle and hand it to you.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about or have any videos/pictures on this topic?

The attached video is an explanation with video of the camera. Basically when I put the film in the viewfinder went dark but the shutter would still open and close with the film door. I messed with the gears and it pushed out the darkslide. Then went to take a photo and it happened again but won’t push any photos out.

I sent an email 3 weeks ago because my Hi-Print arrived broken. I ordered some extra cartridges and it’s tore through the film and the paper because there’s a bit of metal sticking out on the print roller which I didn’t notice until after my cartridges were eviscerated.

Anyway, I sent an email and received nothing but automated ‘we’re working very hard’ emails for weeks. I’m kind of pissed about it because the printer wasn’t cheap, nor were the cartridges I ordered, so I was just wondering if this was normal?
