I haven’t taken this out for a spin in a while. I think I’m going to bring it with me. #camera #sx70 #sx70land #filmphotography #believeinfilm #photography
Hey #believeinfilm friends,
Last year, Polaroid updated its B&W 600 chemistry to offer an "improved contrast."
Last month, I spent several packs of the new and the old frames, comparing them in various ways to determine what changed and whether this new film can be shot in UNMODIFIED SX-70 cameras:

TL;DR: sort-of (it depends).
Interesting info about new Polaroid SX-70 film, in case you didn't know. They used to put a physical ND filter over 600 film packs so they could be used in SX-70 cameras. But that has changed.

A very tender, thoughtful article, superficially about photography, but mostly about memory, grief and our relationship with time.
Perhaps seeing photography not as capturing the present, but creating the past.
