Hey everyone, been a while since I posted a new shoot over here, well without further ado, here's a Polaroid preview with RoussLee from last Monday.

The color ones are Polaroid 600, taken with my brand new SX-70 ! I got really lucky here, it was my early Valentine's day present from my wife, not an expensive gift though because she paid only 25$ !!

It's seriously almost mint, + I have a cool box plus original manuals and the original receipt saying it was bought on June 15th 1974! A very lucky find to say the least.

I didn't have any SX-70 film packs so I used the more popular 600 film and turned the slider all the way to the dark side. SX-70 are rated at around ISO 160 as for the 600 film rated at ISO 640. Even with the Lighten/Darken control all the way to the dark side, photos are still a little over exposed on this film, but it's all good for my style, but I wouldn't shoot it in plain daylight with a 600 film though. The problem also is that it's pretty slow shutter speed at ISO 160, but I still managed handheld, because there is no tripod socket on this version sadly. 

It's crazy how close you can get with these cameras, it says 10 inch minimum focus distance, although I have a feeling I was closer than that.

That's my handsome son ;) Focus not tack sharp here but whatever. The leaks here are due to a bad batch from Amazon I think, plus maybe the fact that this camera wasn't modified with a frog tongue which doesn't help not having probably. 

The black and white Polaroids were taken with the OneStep+, but I like the SX-70 shots much better here. 

So besides Polaroids, I used the Pen FT, the Nishika N8000 (yes 3D pictures!) and some digital of course on this shoot. 

So stay tuned for more !
