Oh hey! I got a SX-70 a few years back but just got around to giving it the servicing it needed (and the 600 conversion). Don�t have many digitized but I�ve been using it on the baby

Anyway, I'm thinking about digital representations of instant photos and I don't think I've landed on the answer yet. I like highlighting the physicality of the object, but the scans are nice too.

Don�t know if good or bad but I�ve just been taking phone pics in the most indirect light I can manage

I just saw that Mint makes a TLR that shoots instax which sounds stupid and fun but $399 feels a bit much for a lark (albeit fitting for the thread title)

Remembered that I have the mint lens kit so went playing around with the close-in lens. Unfortunately I have a sx-70 sonar so manual focus is a bit of a crapshoot

And revisited an old shot with better exposure

Shoulda used the flash which isn�t syncing well

Yellow filter + dark background + fast exposure

Keep forgetting to turn the exposure down

Spent $18 on a walk and came out with a pack of way overexposed and blown out pics

I feel like I have a light leak but when I did the dark room test there weren�t any highlights, although the black wasn�t particularly black

I kept waiting for "a good picture" because I didn't want to "waste" the film, but I realized if I kept waiting I'd never take any pictures. I'll post them later, but I have three left for the eclipse today.

It�s just money

How well does Polaroid take to being overexposed? I never considered pointing one at the eclipse

Mine blows out real easy but also, as previously stated, I�m a little suspicious about the camera

I mean it�s one picture how much could it cost, ten dollars?

Bought an instax mini for a party and of course took it on a walk to try out

Shot a bunch of instax at the party and I�m really impressed by how it came out, the colors really pop and vibe. Now I�m really curious about one of those cameras that shoot instax with exposure controls and better lenses
