I found out that if you switch on Dark mode on Instax SQ6 while making a portrait indoors it’s not suppose to be bright ... but once I used it the photo was darker than it should be. Anyway thank you for the video!
I recently met with the producer from Rezivot. He said he is working on an update for the polaroid back for mamiya, such as replacing plastic parts with metal. Really looking forward to the upgrade version.
Totally agree about OneStep+ - finally modern polaroid camera, and you can use it with strobes ;) SQ6 failed with the way modes were implemented, but I told you: send it on guarantee service, as focusing issue was clearly malfunction ;) It was incredible year for instant shooters ;)
oh yes I love the Polaroid OneStep+ although I had very bad luck with the first 2 models I ordered, which were both faulty, but eventually the 3rd replacement works fine. I find it really useful and I've done a few nice photos with it. I like the Instax SQ6 I don't find it's overexposing though, in fact I find that it's underexposing slightly... but I just use L or D to adjust, but yah you can't combine 2 modes. What I also do is use a piece of paper to diffuse the flash light that is sometimes too much and leaves a black dot on images - putting a white piece of paper in front of my flash resolves that. I have the SX-70 as well, one of the 1st models from 1974 and that's my favourite one of all. Thank you Marco and have an excellent 2019, thank you so much for all your cool videos.
Really enjoyed the video! Thanks for sharing Your opinion. How hard is it to find an Instant lab atm? Cause wow that must be really something else for shooting portraits
@@AnalogThings much more than I thought I would. Its a lot more reliable than my 600 camera so until my SX70 is refurbished (it's taking a while) it's my main camera for PO film. Thanks a million for that giveaway!
2018 is really a good year to instant photography. I was buzz in my learning and researching. Also, I went to 35mm film to save money. However, I still interest in instant photography. Thank you a lot to bringing experience and feeling on new products for us.
I just got the Polaroid Originals One Step Plus for christmas and I absolutely love it! Now i currently own 4 polaroid cameras lol add that to my Polaroid Impulse SE, One Step Flash, and Fujifilm Instax mini. I also have a DSLR camera I had to use in college so I guess you could say I own 5 cameras 😅 I'm not even a photographer! I'm a cartoonist! I just love polaroid cameras!
Nice, the OneStep+ is pretty cool to use. Most of us are not photographers but instant photography has something magic to it ;) and dont worry the camera collection will grow no doubt
@@AnalogThings oh yeah! To have it printed out instantly is just so interesting! One of my first photos with the One Step Plus was a black and white photo of me sitting cross legged on a playground bridge and it's one of my favorites! I hope to maybe invest in some of the other Fuji cameras at some point, even though they're personally not my favorite brand of polaroids it'll still be fun to compare.
I would love to get one of those Rezivot backs for an RB67, but that P adapter is a real pain to get, they don't come up often and people want crazy money for them a lot of the time. I use an NPC back on my RB for peel apart. I pay to much for the film but I love it still. I also have a back for Hasselblad but 6x6 leaves so much space. I've been trying to find a back for 4x5 so I can use the whole negative but I haven't seen one come up. So I guess I will stay with my SX70 for better instant for average days. I really hope peel apart comes back to the glory of the old days. It was just an amazing film and there is just so little of the FP100 left.
Hey Marco great video love the content!!!! Could you please explain the open sx70 project a little more I was having trouble following it on the website and in the video (is it a fully manual mod?) Also quick tip u should use more images of the cameras your talking about in the video as a reference Looking forward to your next video as always!
Hi. I just got an old SX-70 alpha and was wondering if you'd recommend a restoration service in Europe, or a service to upgrade it to work with 600 film. Thanks in advance.
I'm looking at buying the back for the RB67. So it also works on the Mamiya Universal and RB67?? You just need the P-Adaptor for the RB67? I would really appreciate if you can confirm this. I would love it if you did a video talking about the Mamiya Universal or 600SE with this back conversation. Love all your videos. Thanks so much
What do you think about the Diana Instant? Just got mine in the mail, loving it so far. Only problem with it is the metal ring around the lens. Whenever the sun hits it or if you use the flash, a circle of light appears in your photos and that’s not always wanted.
yeah, that problem is common also for the regular diana, paint it black is the solution ;) for me the diana is a nice camera for playing around but i could never use it for a portait shoot or something like that
Pretty interesting, i hope that open sx70 project will get to find a way to manually control the aperture and not only the exposure time like the mint slr670 does.
What is your opinion of the new Polaroid film? I have tried a pack without the results i was hoping for. (uneven chemical spread and soft images (rollers were clean)) Was it that one pack at fault..... Or are they all like it?
hey Marco, really like your channel i've been watching all of your videos recently and I really want to get a instant camera. I am looking at the mint slr-670-x , i really want flash sync. the only thing holding me back is the steep price, is the camera worth $800+ . thanks alot!
yeah, the mint cameras are not cheap but they work great these are refurbished SX-70 with a new PCB so everything works great, but try to find a cheap one just to get the feel of it. before you put in that much money, and if you are good at tinkering take a look at the F8 mod
@@AnalogThings Wenn du es testen willst, könnte ich dir meine Nikon FM2 mit dem Rückteil ausleihen. Ich finde, das Fuji-Square-Rückteil für die analogen SLR sehr reizvoll - aber es gibt auch Nachteile (Iso 50, keine Schärfe bei Offenblende, Formfaktor). Du kannst mir bei Instagram (jvoto_de) Bescheid sagen.
@@AnalogThings Hello, thanks for your quick response :=) Yes, the one(s) hanging on your shelve (right side of the room).. (sry my english is not good)
thats true nico, i have to include more samples of the different results but you could check out some of them on the IG profile (if i wouldn't be that lazy and post more stuff) :(
I’ve had the Lomo Instax wide and I would recommend it if you want more features like double exposure, close up and flash off option but if image quality is the most important thing to you, the Fuji Instax 300 is better and sharper.
I have SX70 and Mint TL70. I love shooting landscape on TL70 but I have tough time shooting casual photo of friends with TL70, the temperature is more on the warm side. My friends simple Mini 9 took better photo than my TL70.
yeah, i dont give to much about kickstart projects anymore since everybody is doing one atm and all are delayed. i think its good it didn't work out and they grow natural
The guys from Rezivot basically copied my original 4X5 POLACONV ... and when they did their kickstarter campaign they never replied to me ...... very disappointing
You could at least show some pictures of what you are talking about!? You kind of have to know everything about all the cameras to understand this video..
hey armin, hab natürlich ganz vergessen dir zu antworten ;) alles ok und gerade ein video hochgeladen mit infos warum gerade nix gekommen ist. aber vielen dank fürs nachfragen, bedeutet mir viel
thank you for the straightforward videos that has so much value
just bought a OneStep + and am really enjoying it, it's no SX-70 but its still a lot of fun. Looking forward to trying the Instant Magny 35 now!

Duuuuude!!! B-roll!! Don’t be so lazy, I would have liked to know what you were talking about when you were talking about it...

maybe i try another one but currently my shelves are packed with instant cameras that need to be used not only tested for a few days
I would die for Polaroid 600/I-type/SX-70 back for Mamiya RZ67.
i hope they are able to produce one
If you do that you won't have a use for it anymore...

Got my first instant cam last year (instax wide 100 for 8€). Really loving it!
nice thats a great price and stil a good cam
I can’t wait to see what 2019 brings us.
Thanks for the video!
I'd love a RF70 but I just can't justify the price right now, I do love my Sx70 though.
Really enjoyed the video! Thanks for sharing Your opinion. How hard is it to find an Instant lab atm? Cause wow that must be really something else for shooting portraits
sadly it's pretty hard to find, how do you enjoy your OneStep+?
@@AnalogThings much more than I thought I would. Its a lot more reliable than my 600 camera so until my SX70 is refurbished (it's taking a while) it's my main camera for PO film. Thanks a million for that giveaway!
@@AnalogThings have they considered making fitting for the Polaroid cb70 back?
yeah, but that is available from some people already and not too hard to make ;) but finding an cb70 is another thing

it is actually designed for the Universal but i didn't have mine at the time so i used it with my RB with th P-Adapter

indeed, make it black!
yeah, that problem is common also for the regular diana, paint it black is the solution ;)
for me the diana is a nice camera for playing around but i could never use it for a portait shoot or something like that
Question: Do I need to refrigerate my Polaroid 600 film and if so why?
you should store it in a cold environment, since the film has chemicals inside that dry out and have an expiration date
Pretty interesting, i hope that open sx70 project will get to find a way to manually control the aperture and not only the exposure time like the mint slr670 does.
thats pretty hard since the exposure is controlled by the focus wheel, needs some 3d printing
@@AnalogThings Yes it's pretty challenging, but otherwise i wouldn't get which is the point of the project.
What do you think??
main focus is getting people to possibilty of a manual sx-70 camera and small shops the option of producing their own versions of sx-70
What is your opinion of the new Polaroid film? I have tried a pack without the results i was hoping for. (uneven chemical spread and soft images (rollers were clean)) Was it that one pack at fault..... Or are they all like it?
whats new? the latest production or PO in general
@@AnalogThings I think it is one from one of their first batches

Will you review the Instant Magny 35? I can't wait to get my hand on mine and mod it to fit my Exakta Varex IIA
only if they send me one, i'm not the biggest fan of the concept to be honest

I love the polaroid one step +. Kids love to play with it 2...I have a polaroid 680 Se, 670 AF and the one step+.
i love your deko lights :) could plz tell me the name of the lamps? (sry my english is not good )
puh thats a hard one since i use different ones, which are you talking about the ones on the shelve?
@@AnalogThings Hello, thanks for your quick response :=) Yes, the one(s) hanging on your shelve (right side of the room).. (sry my english is not good)
they are called edison bulbs and i got them from aliexpress for cheap :) the wood holding it is selfmade of old palett wood
@@AnalogThings Ahh finally ! Thx for the info :) Have a nice day
Good video but I would have liked to see scanned pictures of what each camera can do. Yes, it is also more difficult to do the video then
thats true nico, i have to include more samples of the different results but you could check out some of them on the IG profile (if i wouldn't be that lazy and post more stuff) :(
Marco I’m interested in the plans. I’ll write you back on Discord
Hey. Where is the best place to get working SX-70(s)? I’ve done research and always get directed to Etsy.
if you want to be 100% sure it works buy it over the polaroid originals website
would you recommend the lomo instant wide over the instax wide 300?
it depends on your use, they both have some good and bad things
I’ve had the Lomo Instax wide and I would recommend it if you want more features like double exposure, close up and flash off option but if image quality is the most important thing to you, the Fuji Instax 300 is better and sharper.
@@teleaddict23 Thank you
I think you forgot the Open SX-70 link?
thanks, added it now
A camera that I can only use fully with an app?
Nope - not going to happen.
I have SX70 and Mint TL70. I love shooting landscape on TL70 but I have tough time shooting casual photo of friends with TL70, the temperature is more on the warm side. My friends simple Mini 9 took better photo than my TL70.
So the Rezivot uses Polaroid originals film. So the images will be reversed. That's a bummer... you know why that ditched instax?
the didn't ditch instax but worked with what is available and easy to mod
@@AnalogThings sure... but they had a kickstarter with a more promising product. (IMO) Such a shame it didn't pan out.
yeah, i dont give to much about kickstart projects anymore since everybody is doing one atm and all are delayed. i think its good it didn't work out and they grow natural
@@AnalogThings guest that's true. Hope they get the chance to make the old design for instax square available at some point.
The Resivot website says they are out
yes, they are working on an updated version with metal parts
Klasse Video. Dann werde ich meine SQ6 wohl doch mal einschicken und mir in der Zwischenzeit die Lomo Square holen!
ja voll, würd mich interessieren ob sie was fixen an der kamera
Ich werde es dich wissen lassen! :)
vielen dank
Also man hat mir meine SQ6 direkt getauscht. Heute kommt schon die neue. Mal sehen ob die besser ist!
Auch die zweite SQ6 ist im Landscape-Modus nicht unendlich scharf! Scheint wohl eine generelle Schwäche der Baureihe zu sein. Grüße aus Nürnberg
The guys from Rezivot basically copied my original 4X5 POLACONV ... and when they did their kickstarter campaign they never replied to me ...... very disappointing
Anyone know the difference between the Polaroid 600 and the Polaroid Sun? Thank you!
its just branding they are pretty much the same
@@AnalogThings thank you so much :)
You could at least show some pictures of what you are talking about!? You kind of have to know everything about all the cameras to understand this video..
I am looking forward to my Escura Instant 60s. Not requiring a battery is a plus for me. Time will tell once it arrives.
Please show some pic of item next time
