- Not all instant film was created equal. Polaroid has graced us multiple color film emulsions, and in this episode of BFCTV we dive into the differences between 600 and SX-70 film. We discuss differences in color, saturation, camera compatibility, and more!

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.
We can still dream, Sean. We can still dream 🙏
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...
Same here BB, need more duo!
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.
Absolutely, we’re working on one of those now, including the B&W!
@@brooklynfilmcamera maybe include some tips for better photos in different situations..?
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 🙃
Yes! We are planning to do that next, great idea Luke!
I've got both cameras lying around. Used the sx70 once (years ago) but wasn't impressed by the quality of the photos. Looking back, probably the reason was me 😆. Later I found a 600, but never bothered to test it until last week. But sadly the film is very expensive, so for now only photos on special occasions...
A side by side photo comparison would help to understand which camera to use in what setting.
Bring on that Black and White comparison!!
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 😎
Very true Marky! That’s an option, though inaccessible for most in terms of price. But an amazing tool nonetheless. And thanks so much re: the pool shot! Came out super clean 🧼
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.
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.
A very useful video. I’m using the SX-70 film with mine.
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.
Love the new film's box design. Hope they'll be in stock soon.
Currently we have the B&W and color SX-70, the rest should be in soon! Agreed, love’em
Good summary Ben
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 😊
B&W yes please! 👍🏼
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.
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 !
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!!!
Agreed. I've heard good things about the new B&W. I'm gonna try it out
Sx 70, circle frame 600, studio lights *chefs kiss*
Chef’s FRENCH kiss 🥹
I would pay so much money for SX-70 color in roll film. 😍
YESSSS give me that all day
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 love both stocks, but for black and white I personally prefer 600 - shot in the SX-70 (whether modded or via nd filter).
I’m thinking of buying the nd filter. Is it good? Does it work well?
@@devinccimarquez788 yeah it does
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!
That's a great solution! Great to see another SX-70 film lover.
Does the nd filter work well? I’m thinking of buying one
SX-70 B&W FTW!!!
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.
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...
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 refuse to convert my sx70 to 600 all because nd filters exist. 👉😎👉
Do the filters work well?
i have both from inheritance, what are they worth today boh original in the box with with all pamphlets
5:56 nice MF DOOM reference!
booya side by side bw comparisons please!
Coming right up 👁👁
Where are people getting these funky new film packs ?😊
They’re slowly trickling into stores! Probably will be fully rolled out quite soon
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
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]
Hahaha
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
Polaroid's integral film (600, i-Type, SX-70) and Fuji's Instax film are the only real instant replacements, and they're certainly more affordable than FP!
@@brooklynfilmcamera thnx for your reply,I bought An sz70 in good condition tried a sx70 film seemed to focus real fast and accurate but got really unsharp results last thing I'll try is the 600 film. .
@@hugofrancesco It should be very sharp in direct sunlight! Sharp to the extent that Polaroid film can be sharp.
@@brooklynfilmcamera I Will try the 600 film I read they are faster,kant thanks!!regards Hugo
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
What league do you think they play in if the original film is the NFL? XFL? USFL? AFL?
@@brooklynfilmcamera Whichever league Trump was part of - which I believe was the USFL
@@jmachats 🤣
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
Big agree!
i find it funny that 8x10 is mentioned as if it was something that still exists
It does exist! We still have it in-stock.
Good information but---Damn---those flailing hands! So distracting!
