It’s my first SX70 camera and I took the whole bundle with it so I can take flash picture and expose manually.
First pictures are a bit overexposed/blurry and I don’t know why yet but I’ll read the manual and watch a lot of video ahah
Anyway I’m so glad to own a piece of history and manufacturing like this
If you have any advice to share I’m all ears :)

Who is gonna pay that much for a basic camera with like 6 stickers on it
Shot with an ImpulseAF at ComplexCon on 10/4/26
I’ve only shot one pack so far, but this is the order of the frames. Please share your frames in the comments so we as a community can anticipate which frame will come out next!
New here. (Hoping THIS survives)
Frog tongues for old 600 series cameras?
Any recommendations?
I’ve seen them on Amazon but would prefer real experience
I looked online and it seems the mint flash bar fits in all SX70 folding cameras. It seems there is slight desynchronization between the flash and the shutter since it’s a 6th flash inhibit shutter. Do you think I should laisse tomber?
I honestly didn’t think I was gonna like these frames but after going through a whole box… I really do like these. Just ordered another five-pack today. Both these and the Pikachu are really fun to use. I really like the color scheme pattern as you print each one out. I hope Polaroid keeps this collaboration going on through the holidays… I wanted more Pikachu frames but seems they’re out as of now for U.S.
Hey guys! Feeling kinda stupid here but I dropped a pack of i-type in the sand after opening the foil packaging and I was wondering if I should still use it. I got all the surface dust and sand off but I can't reach inside obviously. Will go into a polaroid flip. Thanks in advance!

My SX-70 Sonar that I purchased “refurbished” by Retrospekt was sent to theinstantcameraguy for a full overhaul. I got it back recently and here are the first few shots I took with it. And omg this thing feels like a completely different camera. I couldn’t be more happy with it and am so thankful for the amazing work that Jake puts into these cameras. Please note this is relative old film with a production date of 5/2025 and I need to get used to the camera.
Hi all!
I was advised to put my Polaroid packs in the refrigerator, as it seems to be common to do so. I put my unexpired Polaroid film in the fridge (40 degrees Fahrenheit, about 4 degrees Celsius) for a little over a month now. Took them out yesterday and let them reach room temperature. I used one today (24 hours later) and this is the color that was developed (unable to show full image due to privacy reasons)
My SX-70 normally doesn’t take photos like this, nor did I ever get these kinds of colors when I wasn’t putting them in the fridge (see other Polaroid for reference). The film is usually consistent with the colors of the actual scene/subject and the camera settings.
For context: I live in New York City so the summers get quite hot and humid here; I do not consistently have my A/C on which is why I felt propelled to put them in the fridge.
A few questions:
Is the putting film in the fridge solely for expired Polaroid film?
The film was sat upright but I just read that it’s best to lay the packs flat. Could this be a potential issue?
When taking them out of the fridge and after waiting about 1-2 hours to warm up, would all film have to be used immediately?
Are there alternative ways of storing film that do not include putting it in the fridge? I’ve experienced this before in which the film chemistry led to inconsistent colors. Could it be the temperature in the fridge?
I’d appreciate any feedback from this community. Thank you so much for your time! :)
This weekend, we took out our SX-70 to a car focused fur-con down in North Carolina in order to tune its exposure compensation dial. (2 dashed darker, btw)
Here are the results of a stock SX-70 with an ND filter and some practice...
