The I have posted so far on my . These are taken with my two Polaroid SX-70 Alpha 1 Land cameras. |

i love those pics! ive always wanted a polaroid! |
||||||||

i was really skeptical reading the title. i only associate polaroid with bright, red-eyed, expensive photos of xmas parties. but i stand corrected now... your flower photos are really stunning. and the park and the train -- damn, these are good. the portraits at the bottom are cool too. well, i'm impressed. i guess you have an expensive polaroid camera? or quality film? because these look nothing like the sort of off-center, cheap photos i'm familiar with. |

Ah, they are 70's polaride cameras? So, You aren't doing anything special but using these oldies? Is the Polaroid SX-70 or the Alpha better for that warm washed out look? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, I'm using an old SX-70 Alpha 1 (same thing, bogala). The proper film for the SX-70 is time-zero film. Some of those shots, the earlier at the bottom, are taken with faster 600-film. Not really made for the SX-70, you have to compensate exposure or they will be all blown out. The 'Instant transportation' shots for example are taken with 600-film, as is that portrait above. For night time, tripod photography, 600-film works fine. What's special about the SX-70 (and the newer SLR680) is that they're SLR-type cameras, ie you look and focus through the lens. Not guessing focus and composing with a separate viewfinder, like on all other Polaroids. These cameras are easy to find on Ebay. I'm on my second SX-70 now, after the first one died mysteriously. The newer SLR680 has a flash and uses the more readily available 600-film. |

Oh and thanks for the kind words! |

Is it me?? Or do the TZ film photos look better? I like the orange washed out look. Oh, you have an Sh-5? You like it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah the SX-70 is supposed to use the time-zero film. It's 150ASA vs 600ASA of the 600-film. I've had to compensate with a polarizer infront of the lens with the faster film, but still the colors suffer. There is no way to change ISO/ASA settings on the camera. Yes, I like my SH-5. I haven't made any music in ages, but I did play with the SH-5 a few days ago. I like to set the LFOs to trigger the oscillators and then play with the filters and modulations on top of that. Slow LFO-speeds and you get nice ambiences, faster speeds and it's Kraftwerk's Trance Europe Express straight out of the synth. |

skitsnyggt.. kolla in mina Holga 120CFN bilder |

Thanks, zero-cool. Very nice Holgas, Mattia. work very nicely together. I love the weird compressed perspective. I want one of the new Holgas with bulb-mode for long exposures on a tripod. |

Paco those photos are awesome man, I really want a polaroid now... How much would it cost for one that can take nice quality pics like you have? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My first SX-70 cost 90USD on ebay, second was 49USD. Both were in great condition cosmetically. The nicer one died on me recently. I buy Time-Zero film in 100-packs, on ebay as well. Hunt's photo sells those for ~100USD. Not cheap per photo, but here in Sweden the film costs twice as much. Don't forget the SLR680. It takes just as nice pictures and the 600-film is easier to find in shops. There were a number of various models of the SX-70 manufactured. They all look a little different. Some of them have sonar autofocus. My model is the Alpha 1 with manual focus wheel. |

That's ok, obara, but you missed the essential ingredient of the polaroid frames :) I also like to post them two at a time, side by side. There was one exception, the self portrait, which just looks strange alone. Zephyr, I have no idea. I'm not even sure when production started, but they are gorgeous cameras with the brown leather and silver finish (it's not metal even if it feels like it). chaosmachine, many of those are bargain film cameras. Exceptions being the EOS 300D (and the lenses), the Hasselblad and the Voigtländer 12mm ultra-wide heliar lens. Thanks, aron. Another great thing with the SX-70 is that it has variable shutter speed. Most basic Polaroids have one set speed. You don't know what it's going to be, but if you need long exposures, just cover the meter window with your finger. Max time is about 30s. I've heard about a trick to get even longer times, if you open the film loading hatch during exposure. I have to try that sometime when there's only 1 photo left :) |

"Canon EOS 300D, homemade lens" errr, what? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Enlarger lens, rubber bellows and the camera cap as a lens mount. It's like a homemade lensbaby, except that it can take sharp photos if you want to. You focus and tilt the focal plane by moving and twisting the lens (it's on a rubber bellows). Normally the focus of a picture is in parallell plane with the film. Things that are at equal distance are equally sharp, the eyes in a straight on face shot for example. A typical portrait taken with a large format view camera can put the focus on the eyes and have the rest of the face soften with tilting. The homemade lens is almost like that, except I have to hold the lens while taking the shot. |

Wonderful. You should sell this for office art and for webpages and back grounds and CD artwork. |

Paco i see on your site that you have a hasselblad. i'm wondering if it is medium format or large(65mm fil etc...), which is it? and how much did it cost you?, and also where did you get it? by the way, nice work on having a hasselblad, i'm looking for one myself but they all seem to be above the price range of $400, and i don't really wont to pay more than $200 australian |

It's medium format. I've never heard of a large format Hasselblad. They only other format from them, that I've heard of, are the two 35mm panoramic X-Pan cameras. They're really made by Fuji, with super sharp Fuji lenses. I think Fuji makes the lenses for their new'ish H-system also. I paid 8000SEK (Swedish krona) for mine, incl 1 A12mag and one 80mm lens. The camera is from 1971 and the lens from 1989. |
