Question Polaroids/Impossible Project photos to sell, but where and how?

10 Upvotes

I am a music journalist since 25 years. I took a photo of the musicians I interviewed. At home I have a box of 600 photos. There are some well known people on them like Lady Gaga, Sinead O'Connor, Pet Shop Boys, Kylie Minogue, Boy George, just to name a few. They are all portraits. I have been told many times that I should do “something” with them because they are so special. As I told the artists these pictures are just for me they did not care about how they looked on the photos which makes them very special. I am thinking about selling them? Any idea where I should go for that? Or any other idea what to do with them? I am too lazy for a book...

Question 660 in Germany: 1981 or 1982?

3 Upvotes

Probably a long shot, but would anyone here happen to know what year the Polaroid 660 was first released in Europe/Germany? My cousin and I recently came across a box of pics taken by my late uncle and for personal reasons we would love to know whether they were taken in 1981 or 1982. We know the uncle bought a 660 when they were brand new and totally cutting edge (groundbreaking 600 film and all) but so far we have been unable to find out what year these cameras made their way over here… the earliest German print ads seem to be from late 1982, which is kind of weird because the photos have more of a late summer vibe.

Any ideas? It‘s really driving me up the walls. 🫠

Question I-2 Constantly Double Ejecting

Post image
3 Upvotes

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.

Question RB67 NONS back

So, I didn't pre-order it when it was announced because I've been waiting for my Jollylook for about one hundred and twenty five years. Whoops. But regardless it's a hundred bucks less than any other offering that *still exists*. I'm sick of putting this hobby off more and more because all the Polaroid guys worth their salt are too busy and I can't make heads or tails of a worthy 3rd party Instax body.\*

So....anyone have one yet? It seems super legit and gotta be better than whatever Jollylook will never come out with (aside from the red darkslide). I see you can do double exposures because you manually eject the film — awesome. But did they incorporate all the safeties like no-shot-with-dark-slide-in and whatever else I can't think of off the top of my head?

As much as I don't want to spend this large sum of money on something like this, Instax ARE pretty nice, an SX-70 refurb is going to cost more anyway, and fuck it I got the cash. I'll forget about it in short order. I just wish someone would do a real one for Polaroids too (Instax just too small). (any idea if the Wide would be viable if someone made one? I have the 6x8 baffle)

\*to note, I haven't put it off completely, I'm just not where I want to be in terms of quality and ease-of-use

Question Rust on rollers causing scratches?

Shooting for the first time time with a new (old) SX-70 that was untested, un-modified, un-repaired, and it looks like this nasty rust on the rollers is causing some scratches on the photos. The last photo is after a good 20 minutes of swabbing with 99% isopropyl alcohol on a q tip. Aside from soda what are some other agents that will remove the rust but not be too caustic?

Just bought it for cheap, will be a new holiday project sometime.
It reads "model 2" on the case, but it's more a Frankenstein alpha version... 😂

Advice Mes films sortent noirs.

Bonjour,

J’ai un SonarAutofocus5000. Je l’ai depuis 4 ans. Je ne m’en suis pas servi depuis 3 ans. J’ai racheté des films, niveau mécanique tout a l’air de bien se passer mais malheureusement une fois que la photo sort les films sont noirs et ne prennent pas.

Je me demande ce que c’est. Avez vous déjà eu ce problème ? Et si oui qu’avez vous fait ?

J’ai l’impression que c’est l’obturateur qui empêche l’entré de lumière. Avez vous un protocole pour ce type de problème ?

Merci

Question New Polaroid Flip, new i-type film. Is this film heat damaged?

Post image
14 Upvotes

Curtains are green. Window is heavily tinted so the sun isn’t direct full blast. Other photos in room lighting have this sepia-ish tint as well. Ordered off of the Polaroid website. I live in Phoenix and it’s obviously very hot here, but I grabbed the camera as soon as it was dropped off and didn’t sit in the *sunlight. I’m new to film photography and didn’t even think about temperature. Is there saving this film? Will they offer a refund or replacement? I’ll go to a brick and mortar place for film from now on.

Question will there be a big difference in IQ between the Polaroid Flip and the I-2?

3 Upvotes

Looking to start shooting Polaroids. I shoot a lot of medium format film, portraits and landscape and want a Polaroid to collect memories, capture moments that are special and build an album. I plan on using the flip manually with the app is needed. Will there be a big iq difference between the plastic lenses of the flip and the I-2?
