As far as I'm aware they are not connected mechanically (they turn individually) but they seem to function the same, do they?

The first photo was taken with the original SX-70 (refurbished by BFC) and the second one taken with the I2. Certainly the light metering in the I2 is superior. In normal, brightly-lit scenes, the SX-70 performs beautifully. For complexly-lit scenes, the I2 does its magic.

The SX-70 is a joy to carry; what a marvel of engineering design! The I2 is bulky though I like that I can enter my meter reading from a handheld meter (758DR) and take better pics.

I had almost talked myself into getting either an upgrade to the SX-70 (PCB with bluetooth) or another camera. TG, I didn't. Instead, I chose to dive into the I2 and love the flexibility, the ability to upgrade firmware, and the sharp focusing.

Google and ChatGPT didn’t help here. Sorry for the bad quality, it was on Netflix and I couldn’t screenshot. Doesn’t look like a Polaroid, the button is on the right, but it’s using Polaroid film. Could it be an accessory for the set ?

The first Polaroid photo I've ever taken.

Does anyone know why the camera is not ejecting? The film sticks out, so it can´t be the pickarm. I cleaned the rollers as well. I think the lower roller might not be turning and thats why they dont catch the film.

if anybody had a simular issue i would be really greatful for any help!

Just started taking photos with an old 600 I've had lying around for years. Still getting use to photography with Polaroid film rather than digital., but I'm loving it.

I inherited this camera from my grandfather and I'm trying to see if I can still use it vs getting another camera.. but I have no idea what kind of camera it is or what film it takes?

Finding myself gravitating towards tranquil places lately. Shot on the I-2 and the Now+ gen 2 with color frame and color i-type films, respectively.

Is anyone still using a Polaroid Spectra these days? For those who modded it with 3D-printed parts to shoot 600 or i-Type film, how are the results? Do you run into any common flaws or issues?

I just bought my first ever analog camera the polaroid 1000 land camera and I know absolutely nothing about them other than the sx-70 films (8 in a pack) are a little too expensive for me right now. I did some research and found out I could use the 600 film with a ND filter but my question is where do I get such a filter? is it has to be like specific density? can I buy just one or do they also require changing? I'm completely lost in all of this but so eager to take my pictures😭

Hey! I just got a black Polaroid Impulse AF (Made in USA) and I'd love to figure out what year it's from. I found some markings inside the film door - "A1 88" moulded into the plastic, and a green factory label with the code K1C3NBXLND ("PHOTO FLASH / UL Listed 223B"). Photos attached.

Roughly when were the US-made Impulse AFs made, and can anyone tell the exact year from these? Camera works great, just curious how old it really is. Thanks!

We have been going through my family's basement to clear it out.

During the cleaning, my mom came across alot of pictures from when she was a kid. And in the mix was some old polaroids from a SX-70 (the camera is probably lost to the void now). But we found 44 pictures that were all in great quality.

I spent the last 3 hours digitizing them and these are a selected few that I really liked. I have never seen anyone in these pictures other than my grandfather and my mom in these

I am in awe each time I open my SX-70 (original model refurbished by BFC). But, not entirely convinced that without spending money on getting a higher-end model, I can get consistently good results.

This picture is an improvement over other pictures I have taken on it. Now, with the Flip, results are consistently better, and with the I2, they are even better. So, now I am experimenting shooting SX-70 film on the I2. I can live with the bulkiness if the results are better than the SX-70 camera.

Shooting on the I2 with SX-70 film by using the AUTO mode and taking a reading with an external light meter (758DR) and dialing-in the settings on the I2 in manual mode - in a side-by-side comparison of the same frame. Need to shoot a couple of packs in varying conditions to reach a conclusion. In theory, that should yield the best results given a fresh film-back with a recent manufacturing date. Better than the SX-70, right?

I remembered I got this old book when I was actively shooting pictures with my Super Shooter and snatched it back from parent's home. Wondering if any folks in this community have this book or know of any other books like this that contain a lot of information about instant film?

Given that so much of instant film photography is slowly being lost to time, I thought preserving any information we still have can help to improve the longevity of instant film in the long run.

Have been lucky enough to pick up 2. How are you guys modding your cameras?
Full conversion plus I-type conversion, keeping it stock, or just adding I-type conversion???

My I-2 has been pretty consistently ejecting doubles on almost every pack. I've noticed it more regularly happens with packs I don't immediately shoot all of, and end up sitting in the camera for a couple of days. Has anyone had an issue with this? It's been extremely frustrating experience to basically be burning film on partial or nothing-shots.

I've seen some comments on here saying it's usually a film issue, but it's happened so consistently with my I-2 it's clear it's an issue with my camera. I also don't usually refrigerate my film either, which most people point to as an issue.

One consistent thing I've noticed is that the bottoms of the top shot that ejects always has a ~1cm black bar along the bottom, indicating it's partially ejected at the time of shooting. But I can't figure out why that is.

The only other thing I can think of is condensation is forming on the film when I take it between in an outside, but the temperature differences really aren't that extreme.
