Would LOVE a side-by-side of the b&W emulsions!

Still love my SX-70 and happy they’re still making the film. But I sure miss the original SX-70/Time Zero film. It developed in seconds and those aqua blues and creamy highlights were out of this world.

Once you go SX-70 you can't go back. Entirely, that is... 600 only when they bring out the sick colour emulsion stuff. Got one green left. Hungry for more. So hungry...

I love the community around SX-70s! People want the camera to be the best it can possibly be. They've made I-type mods, wireless shutter buttons, opensx70, SX-37 filter adapters and more! There's so much opportunity with Edwin Lands proud Polaroid creation!

i was pretty unhappy with the result of my last few SX-70 packs, but new ones arrive soon and im looking forward to having more shots turning out okay. When SX-70 film works and isn't too cold or too hot or anything like that, I love it dearly. I have two 600 cameras that are decently sharp and for gatherings or throwing a polaroid in the backpack I love those. But getting an SX-70 shot that fulfills its chemical potential creates such a beautiful image. Some of my strongest visual memories over the years have been shot on this film and im praying for Polaroid to not slowly letting it vanish for 600-type film only. Also I want the black border edition back! Everybody keeps talking about circled and colored frames, the black ones gave SO much contrast!! Some of my best shots.

Would love to see a really detailed comparison between the 600 & SX-70 emulsions. It would be cool to use a 600SE or Mint SLR with manual controls, take the exact same photo in the exact same spot/lighting conditions and see how the colors compare (and do for B&W). And if you could scan them at reallllly high resolution, would love to see if it's possible to look at the differences in grain as well 🙃

The answer is the MiNT Slr670. Shoot sx70 and 600 film in one camera 🎉 Ps the photo of the swimming pool grab handles was amazing, as was the motel sign 😎

I would love to see a comparison of photos by the two cameras, with the same subject and the same lighting conditions, to see and judge the difference.

I have to say for an average shooter the contrast differences are not extremely apparent to the point where you can just tell which film one used. However I did benefit from the higher iso of the 600 film after I had my sx70 camera converted and it basically is like an all-environment-ok beast. only used flash for backlit & extremely dark situations since.(or for the strobe look ;) )

Great video. I have an sx-70 that shoots it’s native film and I have an sx-70 sonar that was converted by Zane Pollard. I’m happy with both in their respective applications.

I just started shooting SX-70 and when I get it right, I love the results!

I bought an SX-70 from an antique shop a few weeks ago, and just ordered a pack of SX-70 color and sx-70 b&w film for it. Also a frogs tongue kit have I ordered. Can't wait to try it.

Bring on that Black and White comparison!!

This was very very helpful to me. I have been in the process of refurbing my two polaroid cameras ( slr680/sx70) I was seriously considering a conversion to 600 on the SX70 until this video. You've proven to me that I've already got the entire greatness covered and I need not convert anything. Just shoot sx70 until they don't make it anymore! Thank you for all you do.

A very useful video. I’m using the SX-70 film with mine.

Must have been a real exciting time in photography when the sx-70 cameras first came out. And it's just amazing that the camera can utilize either a disposable flashbar or a reusable electronic flash.

Love the new film's box design. Hope they'll be in stock soon.

Back in the day SX-70 film was far more colorful ... the modern versions not so much ... I think the 600 has better colors ... both of them shine in B&W though!!! Amazingly the modern 600 B&W is better than the 90s Polaorid B&W film!!!

Good summary Ben

thank you so much this video was great. i have two sx70s one for each film type but i have mainly been using my 600film converted one. this is def making me want to go onto polaroid and get some sx70 packs. a video suggestion for those who might be in a similar position as much. i would love love love to see a video that is side by side comparison photos of a converted sx-70 that shoots 600 film vs a non modded sx-70. b/w and color would be amazing.

I’m new on the Polaroid world, I just a bought an sx70 sonar and a 636 closeup, so definitely I would like to see a comparison video, for more tips and trick of this magical invention 😊

another video suggestion that would be awesome is how to shoot with a converted sx-70 in low light ( maybe with a tripod). i’m not sure if that’s even possible but i believe BFC can be the mythbusters group and relay the info after. thank you amazing work !

B&W yes please! 👍🏼

I would pay so much money for SX-70 color in roll film. 😍

I refuse to convert my sx70 to 600 all because nd filters exist. 👉😎👉

Would love to have seen a side by side comparison of the films. Same time, same shot, to better see the difference between the 2 films

I personally prefer the SX-70 film but the 600 is way easier to find bundled or on sale... which never happens with the 70... I didn't mod my SX-70 but use an ND filter... it's a little annoying because when you change back you have to reapply to the film to the new pack but still works like a charm...

Sx 70, circle frame 600, studio lights *chefs kiss*

Have you tested the nd filter you can add to the 600 pack to shoot in a SX-70? it then down grades the iso to SX-70 speed.

Great channel I just found out and I subscribed. I have an sx-70 whose small yellow latch on the side that holds the front part is broken, is there a site with spare parts that delivers to Brazil?

I love both stocks, but for black and white I personally prefer 600 - shot in the SX-70 (whether modded or via nd filter).

SX-70 B&W FTW!!!

i have both from inheritance, what are they worth today boh original in the box with with all pamphlets

great video! i personally love sx-70 film to death, but 600 film gets all the fun stuff... so i tend to attach an ND filter on my sx-70 and cheat a little... 👀it's not always a perfect solution, but it does help with over-exposure concerns and creates some interesting results!

OK so l have box camera One step old One that camera needs sx-70, when l first time did Photos with it sx-70 film it was good loved colors, then l get other box camera 90s box camera with 600 and l love it more for color for that l could use or not use flashlight and still get good pic and emulsion making so fun, now l use i type film into old One camera works good but need dark it or us nd

5:56 nice MF DOOM reference!

booya side by side bw comparisons please!

Where are people getting these funky new film packs ?😊

While I enjoyed this video a lot and found it informative, and it actually exists…a Denny’s chef doesn’t exist. A Denny’s short order cook exists. Chefs work in hotels, cruise ships, and the White House. Short order cooks work in diners. [/trivial useless unnecessary rant]

Yes you're correct SX-70 and 600 film still (technically) exist. But to suggest they are anywhere near in the same league as the original film is inaccurate

I have a question bought a 600se late but the films Fb100c are too expensive,van you rrcommend an affordable film ,also contemplating a sx70,Maybe you know a affordable film back for wide film on my se600?regards

I want to love Sx-70 but I can’t afford one.

SX-70 black & white film: there isn't a crisper image in the world

i find it funny that 8x10 is mentioned as if it was something that still exists

Good information but---Damn---those flailing hands! So distracting!
