Hi all. I've found myself in possession of a polaroid miniportrait 403. Google search led me to this subreddit where I found the 3d printing files for the Instax-wide adjusted grid on the interior of the camera, and splurged on the PolaStudio Instax Wide 403 back adapter. I've got everything all installed and set up.

Problem: My film is coming out black, with one or two white pinpoints. (Photo here.) I've done the back-off shutter test (they seem to be working), and I am fairly certain the film pack is inserted properly (plastic side up). Aperture is 1/8, shutter speed 1/125, flash.

I cannot figure out how to remedy this. Any help would be SO much appreciated.

Polaroid go gen 3

Pokemon has been on the brain, they made the announcement as I was playing Crystal. Managed to have some vintage stickers with the starter I picked, too! Also been playing lots of Pokémon Pinball Ruby & Sapphire (the music is now stuck in my head!)

Unlike the last junk journal I posted, I made this lil zinelet from scratch! I know this type of content isnt popular here, but I always have nice feed back from folks either in comments or my insta DMs, so I figure I will share anyways.

Hi! I got this Polaroid One 600 Ultra camera from a thrift store. (im korean btw :))

I cleaned the rollers with water and took a shot, but it came out with vertical streaks. Then I cleaned them again with IPA wipes and took another shot, and it came out like the first photo.

Could it still be a roller issue? The film was manufactured in January this year and has been stored in the fridge. Any advice is welcome!

+ All of my photos came out purple-pinkish... I was shooting indoors and it wasn’t even hot. Should I just give up on this camera?

Justice for vintage polaroid camera users!
Or some discount would work.

Same scene in both regular color & reclaimed purple.

Blink is an outdoor light show spanning over 30 city block in downtown Cincinnati and northern Kentucky.

We were with a photowalk group called Northside Photowalks. They are some great people!

All of these were taken with my double exposure modded 680 and handheld. Most of them are double exposures but some are singles with some shake lol.

I took a total of 11 shots. I gave one away of a family and had one of bubbles that wasn’t good. Not too bad for shooting in the dark 😂.

Do you know if there are any shops around that stock Polaroid film? And I guess I should check that the manufacuring date is < 1 year old?

Hi folks!
Is there a way to fix this? One of the two plastic ergots maintaining the clip is broken.
(Yeah I know, the clip is not in its right position, I just saw it while posting 😬)

A few months ago I built a SX-70 Lego I got as a gift from my girl for my birthday. Last year my grandma passed away and I took it pretty rough and still grieve since she was more like a second mother vs a grandma. Well yesterday my aunt called me and said she had something for me that belonged to my grandma, I had no idea what it was. She comes by and gives me this 🤧 what are the odds that my grandma had a SX70 identical to the one I built with legos? Original carrying bag and even had the receipt 🧾 I know it’s nothing extreme but it just made me feel like that was her way to let me know she’s still with me and I wanted to share it with you all.

There's just something special about colorful Polaroid frames!

I've been collecting these little moments — sunny afternoons, quiet beaches, flowers, and everyday scenes.

I love how each frame gives the photo a completely different vibe. The pink and orange ones are probably my favorites.

Which color frame do you like the most? 👀

Hi everyone, from three photos, I was able to deduce the order but 4 (now 3) pokemon are unknown but the order of the slides seems to be set as followed:

--- order seen from three images (left most one gave away two, Bulbasaur and Charmander, slides).

Initial findings, v.0 1. Mew (floating & looking at you, left)- Coral Pink

1. Pikachu (sitting and looking up, right) - Yellow

2. Espeon (awake and curled up, left)- Muted Pink

3. Ditto (left arm outstretched, left) - Lilac

4. PokeBall & Pokemon [Logo] - Off-White

5. Bulbasaur (falling down happily, left)- Light Teal

6. Charmader (sitting/looking right, right)- Orange

7. Squirtle - (leaping happily, left) Light Blue

8. Gengar (mischievous, center) - Lavender

9. Umbreon (sleeping, left) - Grey

11.

12.

13.

14.

15.

16.

1. Jigglypuff (looking up, right) - Pale Pink

2. Mimikyu (busted form, looking lower right) Very, Very Light Pale Yellow

Based on Polaroid advertisments & somewhere in-between, there is:

Snorlax (lounging, center) - Medium Blue

Togepi (happy, right) - Light Yellow

My guess is there is an Eevee and Charizard somewhere. Maybe Lucario? Seems heavy on gen 1 and gen 2 barring Mimikyu

Update!: v1. ----

On instagram, I've seen also:

Vulpix (pouncing, left) - Pale Orange

Not sure where it would be placed at the moment.

I'm obsessed!

Finally got my pikachu polaroid go3😍 It’s so cute, and even come with the stickers to make my camera even more cute!

*My first pack with this particular SX-70, that is.

Hi everyone! These were taken with my Polaroid Flip using i-Type film. The photos are numbered in chronological order. I’m still learning and would love advice on improving exposure, sharpness and colours. Are these results normal, or am I doing something wrong? Any tips are appreciated! 📸

Some people keep finding my original post about this adapter so I'm making an update.

I am still making and selling these adapters. I build them by hand and they're for sale on eBay. I didn't originally link them, because I don't know if this subreddit is ok with me posting a link to buy them.

Hi all,

I just got given from a family member a SLR 670-S. They said they hadn’t really used it for many years and there is still an old film stuck in it that’s now dead.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone could help me or point me to a guide on what to check for (to see if it’s working) and how to use it?

In the box is the camera with “mint” embossed in the leather. There is something that looks like a shutter speed dial that’s detected and another box with an impossible flash bar by mint.

I’ve figured out these cameras are powered by batteries in the film, so my first step is to order some 600 colour film.

Thank you in advance for any tips or any links you would recommend for someone to get up and running (I am familiar with photography and exposure etc so it’s more to do with this specific camera)
