Wanted to mention I’ve found and just bought two NOS Button Polaroids. And have everything I need on the way to do your battery conversion and make it use I type film. I got two cameras in case I brick one. Anyways we communicated a little about buying one of yours but just thought it would be more fun and I would appreciate the camera more if I do it myself. If successful with the first one I’m definitely sending you some cash for the video tutorial you provided. If not I’m sending you the second camera 😂
First class video for all new sx70 users and also more experience users too. It seems that today’s tech/camera (and all other consumer products) users have lost the art of reading the manual first if my experience of reading posts on Reddit/instagram/facebook etc. Polaroid have a very good support section on their web too covering camera/film issues.
@@LitchiBorrower it'll only work for the SLR models due to how the shutter mechanism works afaik Box type long exposures are technically possible but they require a bit of hacking

It was an amazing film! Not so much today... being kind...
Had no idea about the trick you share at 45:06 for long exposures, it's very cool ! Do you know if it also works for 600 box cameras ?

@@theinstantcameraguy Aight, thanks for the reply !
Tuck in that blanket, grab that hot choccie, Polaroid Bedtime Compendium is here and I'm ready for an instant slumber
Is cutting the black and white film still true for the new and improved recipe?
its true for any film and long term stability
Polaroid ASMR 👍🏻😎
Due to the time difference between the US and AUS, for me it’s Reading the Instructions like it’s the Morning Paper 😂
