Polaroid 679 expired in 2000. Polaroid 110A converted to accept pack film. Macon, GA.
All 10 prints came out fine….surprisingly. There were some issues with the chemistry spreading completely.
Polaroid 125i expired in 2010. Polaroid 110A converted to accept pack film. Macon, GA.
They were all very yellow. I’m not sure what happened, but I guess it was stored improperly. The darker exposures were better.
Here are two that show something.
Current Fuji Instax Wide. Fuji 100 camera on its last legs. Macon, GA.
8 prints came out. There were crazy issues with the camera. The light leaks are from repeatedly having to remove the film.
Polaroid 690 expired in 2009. Polaroid 110A converted to accept pack film. Macon, GA.
8 prints came out fine. The contrast is much lower than I’m used to with Fuji FP-100C. The prints also have a very warm cast to them. The prints are very thin and curled up terribly.
Here are a few of my favorites.
Impossible Project B&W 2.0 shot in a Polaroid SX-7 Alpha 2 with custom faux ostrich skin. Macon, GA.
This was my first time using the new IP film. I really like it. It doesn’t handle flare well, but I can deal.
Fuji FP-3000B45 expired in 2012. Calumet 4x5 Monorail with Nikkor 180mm f5.6. Macon, GA.
In my continued hope to find good 4x5 Polaroid film, I bought another box (572 expired in 1999). It came out in pieces. No images.
If you have batch tested film, I’m buying or accepting donations.
So, Fuji to the rescue. Because it expired in 2012, the blacks are not as dark as they once were. Otherwise, it worked perfectly.
Polaroid 664 expired in 2004. Polaroid Land Camera Model 450. Macon, GA.
All 10 prints came out fine. The contrast was much lower than I’m used to with Fuji FP-3000B. The prints are very thin and curled up terribly.
Here are a few of my favorites.
Anatomy of an Image
Impossible Project Color 600 Gen 2.0 Beta. Expired within the last couple of years. Polaroid SX-70 Alpha 2 with custom ostrich covering. Forsyth, GA
February
For my second shoot of the year, I used a pack of Impossible Project Color 600 Gen 2.0 Beta film. I’ve had it lying around for a couple of years. It was said to be a bit faster than the standard 600 film when new. I did some at the normal setting and some at a darker setting on the camera.
Used a Polaroid SX-70 Alpha 2 with custom ostrich covering. I also used an IP neutral density filter on the pack of film.
Images to follow.
