The white streak in the middle of the print is down to the developer being too warm/cold/annoying or just generally off. If you look at the back of the film you will see there are three little pouches that get rolled out by the roller when the film is elected. If one of the pouches is a bit off for whatever reason, you get this brighter line. It happened to me on a whole pack of b&w film (a whole pack, it's only 8 shots) it is the joy/pain of shooting with Polaroid, to paraphrase Forrest Gump "life is like a pack of Polaroid, you never know if the photo will turn out exactly as you had imagined it would when you composed the shot." But it is fun. Black and White is far more stable as color film friends a lot on temperature (here in Ireland that is a big thing as we get about 17 seasons every day!) But it is a fun camera to shoot. Check out "The Polaroid Book" for some sweet shots. Love the videos man, thanks for sharing.
I guess that's the price you pay for a pink camera: Most of the "normal" (lame) 600 cameras have a tripod mount and a lock that prevents the shutter to fire when the lid is closed :)
I have the Black version of this model no tripod mount but mine the shutter lock works as it should when it's closed. Normally I find this to be a pretty decent Polaroid.
@@robertknight4672 Yes, unfortunately not all black versions have the mount but there are some kind of mount adapters if one really needs it. And I agree with you, they're also pretty robust and imho ideal to start out with Polaroids before investing into a SX-70
@@wasabibinladeen62 I just had this done to two Sx-70s I picked up. It is a great thing to do, but it is not without its downsides. Pros: you can use your SX-70 in lighting that isn't full 100% daylight without a flash. So you'll be able to use it in more situations. Cons: 600iso in this camera is to sensitive for many full sun situations. I just found this out the hard way on a walk on the beach. I had to wait for the sun to be behind a cloud for the exposure to actually come out properly. So it really depends on where you intend to use your SX-70. For me, honestly I wish I had kept one stock, and it means I'll likely get another one just to keep for SX-70 film. Last note, the cons above to not count if you have an Slr680 or similar. They are capable of faster shutter speeds.
@@GregoryVeizades SX70 film is rated at 160 ISO instead of 600's 640 ISO. So no it's not better for low light. Also 640 ISO is not too sensitive for full sunlight, as the aperture can stop down as low as f45, when f16 at 500 (which 600 cameras manage fine) would do direct sunlight fine. If you're in sunlight, Polaroid themselves recommend using switching the exposure comp to one quarter dark.
Damn, I have some polaroid pink duochrome pictures lying around of which I'm not particularly fond of. Should have saved this pack. I bought it for 16€ lol.
16€ is quite good for the price. Last time I walked into a film store in Paris (like a century ago) I almost cried seeing the 22€ price tag for these films
The pinkboy has some appeal but is definitely closer to the "toy" side of the Polaroid spectrum. Still can produce awesome results, but the real heavy lifters are the Polaroid SX-70 and SLR680. Incredible glass and build, but with a thicc thicc price tag if you're just trying to heck around with this stuff. Still, for the price of the film, it kinda makes you want to get the best hardware possible. This is our curse.
@@tanjah9318 Yeah the eBay route is definitely the way to go in terms of cost. If you're good at doing Internet you can pretty much guarantee you can grab a functioning one for that cost. I understand why he wouldn't have dropped that much for a RUclips vid, but it does look like he bought it off Retrospekt which means it may have cost more than an SX-70 actually lol
My 600 was my first ever camera, and it's what got me into photography. It looked the same as that one but blue, thrifted from a local value village. She's dead and replaced with another 600 model now, but I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for that classic flip open face.
You should really try a Polaroid SX70 camera. They are more expensive, but the SX70 film produces way better colors in my opinion plus you can focus by yourself and get some nice background blur.
Shawn Brezny what about their newest batch of Polaroid branded film? Or the SX-70 stuff? From what I’ve seen it’s pretty improved. Of course, it’s slow incremental improvements, but improvements nonetheless
The white streak might just be residue leftover from the rollers. Good idea to just wipe off the two rollers after every pack of film. Just paper towel is fine.
While that could be, it seems to be more of a production flaw. I just shot a pack a couple of days ago and I got a similar streak in the same place. Checked the rollers afterwards and they were clean.
Finally you get to Polaroid!! SX-70 any time soon? In all seriousness, you got some nice photos! Also you can get Polaroid film slightly cheaper through Amazon and sometimes ebay (of course storage is important and in both cases you can have issues here and there) (and sometimes Polaroid have sales on their site; though I believe some people have discount codes; such as the Analog Talk podcast folks)
i drank a bottle of pepto when i was 3 and my mother had to call poison control. its good stuff, if you left me in a room alone with a bottle i couldn't promise i wouldn't take a sip.
hahahahaha i absolutely love retrospekt. i love what they are doing and i have bought three cameras so far. glad to see you getting a camera that has been given a new life instead of a brand new camera.
Are those cameras new or just referbished? They look just like the late era 600s. I guess I got lucky and scooped a bunch up right when the actual Polaroid company stopped making film. Must have 20 different 600s that I bought for next to nothing.
Tim Fitzwater Polaroid (or what used to be Polaroid Originals) do sell refurbished cameras on their site. There are probably cheaper refurb alternatives though. Saying that, with all my Polaroid Camera purchases, I’ve only ever bought used old stuff which was probably sitting in some attic or drawer. (which needed to be cleaned). The latter option is cheaper
I thought about getting a Polaroid to try instant film but honestly Instax SQ6 seems like a better choice...film is almost two times cheaper and it has better colours. Btw 10 shots of instax square are cheaper than 10 shots of portra 800 on MF lol.
It's always a hit or miss with polaroid. Maybe you need to change the exposure compensation a bit. Our Savior Matt Day once said, that he turns the dial a bit towards the darker side, which should reduce the shutter speed. But on the other hand I had great exposures with the dial a bit to the brighter side. Maybe you should have gone with the newer Cameras with a better lens and the fact that you could use the cartridges without the battery. Nevertheless I liked the video. Cheers from Germany Oh. Btw you opening the polaroid box that way almost gave me anxiety.
The reason that the camera fired was that you caught the shutter button as you removed it from under your jacket. The main button is locked into place, but the button for shooting without flash is not.
Just won an auction for a Polaroid 670 AF. I can't wait to leave it on my desk because the film is so expensive. Also even though there's a light meter, you're supposed to use the exposure comp in low light and bright sunlight, move the switch one quarter towards black during daylight, and one quarter towards white in low light.
Dude there are so many photography channels out there and to be honest your content never annoys me... its always a joy to watch your vids and listen to your jokes !
I enjoy your videos and dry sense of humor. I’m guessing you’re left handed wearing your watch on right wrist. Anyway Polaroids are always fun at funerals.
I have never had a desire to get a Polaroid, because all I remembered from them was that the pictures were always dark and fuck, with almost no vibrance. They were all muddy, muted shit. Instead, I shoot digital, and it's awesome! And cheaper, in the long run.
My girlfriends from the Czech republic and she brought back a Pack of Polaroid 600 duochrome pink and a pack of blue. We haven’t shot it yet, and had no idea of the value until this video. She couldn’t believe when I called her to tell her that people were asking over $500 for them when she paid $20 for them each.
I've never gotten good results out of a 600 box camera but if you put in the money to get a sx-70 600 conversion and a mint flash bar all your shots come out looking sexy
at 8:00 - the camera isn't supposed to fire with its lid closed. There's a mechanism in the shutter release that's supposed to prevent it firing with the lid closed. If it fires with the lid closed, there's probably something wrong with that, or the camera opened slightly enough to release the protective mechanism.
for 1/3rd shots you should set the camera down on a stationary surface like the ground or a car hood, or brace it against a wall or something, there's no steady handing it, but at the same time a tripod socket would completely defeat the unplanned pregnancy nature of the format. Obviously this doesn't do much good in the rain :/
I've gotten some gas ): i bought a new polaroid spectra only to find out out there js no new film to be made for it... still bought some overprized film for it tho
I was becoming convinced I need one until I saw the shutter go off when it’s shut, I’d waste a whole pack of Polaroid’s when I awkwardly get it out my bag. 6:47 🔥
Just followed after seeing the canon ae-1 videos! I’m a beginner and want to learn and just saw this recent video, so crazy I actually own a Polaroid 600!!
I got that same camera in black for free when I bought my mind condition Pentax SV black with a 55mm f1.8 Super-Takumar, & Pentax light meter II. The seller also tossed in a Canon AF35M. All for $70CAD ($50USD). Can't wait to get some Polaroid film & try it out.
ABBA has been around longer than you [slow zoom out of this pink camera revealing that everyone using this camera looks either like Barbie or Ken - definitely subject to nightmares... ] 😂 Please don't block me, jk. Sunny Sixteen with a 600 iSO film and an aperture of f 1 / 14 - well, happy calculating!
Fun fact, if you try to shoot polaroid onestep 600 without the flash... Don’t, just don’t. Cuz no matter how you try to hold the camera still, it’s just not gonna work, and the result will always be blurry, atleas that’s how the experience for me. So yeah, just keep the flash on, and maybe try to slide the exposure correction if the subject is too bright Edit : I comment this because It seems like you tried to take a picture of the gas station without the flash. Idk, cuz I can’t see it in the video
The cost of the film is inane and ridiculous. But I guess it's not really made for professional photography in general but more of a way to adapting the occasional nostalgic print from a day or night out into the modern day without the use of a smartphone. Many years ago we had to always be careful not to waste our shots and had to really think before clicking the shutter to make sure it had the appropriate conditions for the camera in fear of getting a bad or blank shot. When digital cameras became more affordable and widespread we were shocked by how inconsequential every shot was, you had unlimited shots and it was unheard of. So going back to a format that is less reliable and gives you limit on every £2 per film shot. it can take some getting used to. But remember if you really value the very moment you take that photo, it will mean something, even if it's slightly blurry or a tad dark. just keep still and overexpose your camera if you're outside in the late evening to get a bright enough shot. Just buy a pack of film whenever you're going out somewhere you think you'll take photos such as an outing. If you want to do professional photography it may be cheaper in in the longrun to get a decent120mm camera and film as Polaroid's are more for casual use :)
My two cameras I’ve found at thrift stores both have burned look at the top of all the film I’ve put through them a couple “rolls now” which is a bummer but I guess it’s the AESTHETIC idk help…
I've got a Fuji Instax mini. It got me into film photography but the damn thing's lens is shite, the viewfinder doesn't match anywhere near what you're aiming at and photos unless with shitloads of light are poop. I feel like maybe they only take good photos of good looking people having fun?
Quick Tip: 1: When your taking a photo have the sun behind you: Tip 2: When your shooting a in a hot or humid environment, be sure to have something cold to put it in or else you will get the infamous magenta streak.
I'm not sure if it's related but that white box might be connected to how the film comes out of the tray. I've had it happen where that plastic tongue that stretches out with the photo fucks with what I'm assuming is the immulsion and leaves weird traces on my polaroids. Shout out: Thanks for talkin shit on the new star wars movies. People seem to love them so much and it was starting to make me feel like I'm crazy.
Don't know about 'modern' instant cameras, but I do remember back in the 70s - 80s word-one warning was never shoot in low-light, such as at night - ever...
i-type film is just 600 film in a pack without a battery and so its cheaper. I save my 600 battery packs and reload them with i-type film, im literally +100 frames in on one battery
In Australia we pay $40 per pack, so $5 per shot. I have a brand new Polaroid and it takes terrible pics, I use an old 600, the pics come out perfect everytime
I always thought that my polaroid was broken but turns out I'm just a shit photographer. I can't believe people pay me for prints and shit when I can't even handle the basic hipster bitch camera
One thing I want to do with my Polaroid 600 is take pictures of the neon signs in Pike Place as I love the area as well as the variety of neon signs there and the atmosphere is busy but usually friendly.
Film is just too expensive. Expired ones doesnt work because of the dead batteries. Who thought putting the darn battery on the film itself is a good idea.
the vertical stripes shows bcoz there are 3 pods of chemical in the bottom and probably one of them has gone bad somehow. or they just felt your depression and decided to play along.
Still don't know how I feel about Polaroid. I like the idea and the aesthetic but the cost of the film and the fact that most shots turn out bad puts me off getting one

These "fun facts" are horrifying and depressing.

you have to get a Sx-70 asap the sx70 film right now the colors are so much better than 600. maybe get a slr 680/690

The results are pretty predictable if you have a bit of experience with Polaroids and you can create great images.
They’ve been making a product that used to exist from complete scratch and have been very open about it and it’s getting better each batch.

I've got a Fuji Instax mini. It got me into film photography but the damn thing's lens is shite, the viewfinder doesn't match anywhere near what you're aiming at and photos unless with shitloads of light are poop.
I feel like maybe they only take good photos of good looking people having fun?
Polaroid sometimes fucks up the film, it happened to me more than once to get some white stripes over my film
Quick Tip: 1: When your taking a photo have the sun behind you: Tip 2: When your shooting a in a hot or humid environment, be sure to have something cold to put it in or else you will get the infamous magenta streak.
I just dug up my own Polaroid 600 camera. Black though, not funky pink like your. Love your self deprecating comments. Keep them videos coming :)
Wait you had a photo taken of yourself? I thought that was illegal
I'm not sure if it's related but that white box might be connected to how the film comes out of the tray. I've had it happen where that plastic tongue that stretches out with the photo fucks with what I'm assuming is the immulsion and leaves weird traces on my polaroids.
Shout out: Thanks for talkin shit on the new star wars movies. People seem to love them so much and it was starting to make me feel like I'm crazy.
Just realised that ive been missing out on a great film photography youtuber. Guess I better watch all of his videos in one day
By the time quarantine ends grainydays will only be shooting 6x6 mark my words
Don't know about 'modern' instant cameras, but I do remember back in the 70s - 80s word-one warning was never shoot in low-light, such as at night - ever...
i-type film is just 600 film in a pack without a battery and so its cheaper. I save my 600 battery packs and reload them with i-type film, im literally +100 frames in on one battery
In Australia we pay $40 per pack, so $5 per shot. I have a brand new Polaroid and it takes terrible pics, I use an old 600, the pics come out perfect everytime
i dont know how the films price in USA? , but here in Brazil is f.. expensive
I always thought that my polaroid was broken but turns out I'm just a shit photographer. I can't believe people pay me for prints and shit when I can't even handle the basic hipster bitch camera
notification gang, check ✅, we lit

One thing I want to do with my Polaroid 600 is take pictures of the neon signs in Pike Place as I love the area as well as the variety of neon signs there and the atmosphere is busy but usually friendly.
And all that with the Fujifilm Zeppelin in the background. Instax instant film is great aaand you can get adapters for your medium format cameras

those first photos, everyone's first experience with polaroid. you think you nailed it.. and then you wish you spend your money another way..
Film is just too expensive. Expired ones doesnt work because of the dead batteries. Who thought putting the darn battery on the film itself is a good idea.
I mean shit, if Hasselblad 500 series and Bronica SQ-A were not such a great cameras, I may hate on 6x6 too. But I can't.
Call me crazy, but I was literally thinking last night about you doing a Polaroid video
the vertical stripes shows bcoz there are 3 pods of chemical in the bottom and probably one of them has gone bad somehow. or they just felt your depression and decided to play along.
I don't think I've ever seen someone with a negative charisma stat that i can't stop watching
i think those polaroid fun facts just stole your entire youtube personality.
Bro don't worry those streaks are just the Polaroid film stock not all of the film in the pack is made equally perfectly
Personally an Instax wide guy after using the Polaroid for a bit. Instax is like $14 for 20 shots
Still don't know how I feel about Polaroid. I like the idea and the aesthetic but the cost of the film and the fact that most shots turn out bad puts me off getting one
This was the first camera that I purchased outside of digitals and going down the road of gear acquisition. I absolutely love it
I think that one may be broken, because a 600 camera almost always flashes. I didn't see that one flash once.
Nice up tick in Baxter content but I won't accept this as the Baxter exclusive episode, just sayin'
Had never seen such a huge pink paperweight.
