Salute to everyone who devotes themselves to keeping these SLRs alive for us 😤
This is my new dream job!
Would highly recommend this service! I sent them a camera about a month ago with a little selfie “please my son is very sick”. The rad lads here sent a photo back along with the repaired camera that read “all better!”
Super nice people, quality work. Definitely worth the money!
We specialize in bringing precious sons back to full strength!
My Polaroid SX-70 Sonar OneStep is at the BFC for restoration and conversion 600. Very cool to see the faces of the people who tell me about the progress of the services... Salute from Brazil, especially to the duo Callan and Carlos! ✌️😎
My original SX-70 camera arrived from BFC less than an hour ago and it looks brand new! It came packaged as shown in the video and I got the hand-written warranty card with my name on it as the owner. The camera was delivered by UPS in just two days (if you select that delivery option) with a turnaround time of three days in total from ordering to delivery - which is again an amazing. That's why the USA is first-class when it comes to customer service. Thanks guys for doing an amazing job!
Thanks!!!
I’ve just found your site. I’ve got several SX-70s and SX-70 Sonars. I’m enjoying the videos. Great work guys.
Thanks so much!
Nice video! and cool to see how your (precious) SX-70(s) will be in good hands at BFC!
Ive had my sx70 for 4 years now from a thrift shop find and loved every minuite of it until i foolishly botched my re skin, bought a parts camera and finished the reskin successfully but tempted to send the parts one in for the 600 conversion, very tempting 😅
My deepest respect for the Guardians of the Analog ❤😊
👏🏼👏🏼 thanks for sharing the process
You guys make my life worth living-thanks for doing that!
Well that’s great, thank YOU!
OMG you rip the leather off, and destroy it!!!!???? I can't believe that!
Hello, Do you re-glue the mirrors during this service? Thanks
Hey guys!
I've owned an SX-70 Sonar for quite some time now and it's defiantly in need of some maintenance. So, I have a few questions.
1.) Do y'all even work on Sonars? I didn't see a single one in the video and I'm curious if you would even take my camera to begin with. (Edit: After checking the website I see that they do in fact work on sonars. My apology!)
2.) All of the leather on mine is original and in pretty good shape. Just a bit dirty and peeling on one of the corners. Instead of removing all of the leather and replacing it, could you just clean it up and re-attach the little spot that's peeling? Or would I just have to get all the original leather removed?
I quite like the fact that my camera is in all-original condition and I was just curious if y'all are able to give it a good cleaning and a tiny bit of maintenance without changing that. Thank you so much for your time and the service you provide for photographers everywhere!
My SX70 Sonar will focus with no problem in manual but it only has limited range in autofocus. Is this something you are usually able to fix?
Thanks!
Absolutely! You can get your service order started here: brooklynfilmcamera.com/collections/polaroid-restoration
