    OK, this video has me super intrigued now. Ben, id love to see a video of you shooting Polaroid Go film on the SX-70 etc because the shots you took on 35mm look great. I thought the GO's shots were lacking sharpness due to the plastic lens but now I'm wondering if it's the film itself... also love to see regular film done in the GO but I have no idea how you'd pull that off.

Go back to the dark bag and put the instant film pack in a empty pack, put it in a camera and eject it from the instant camera while still in the dark bag to spread the chemicals, remove and watch it develop.

      With some solid engineering I think the film door could be replaced with a dark bag that accepts shot sheets (similar to the old Graflex bag systems).
