i got a digi. it's on liek donkeykong

 

Well, I was considering doing another a few weeks ago, but the response from the last one was so lame that I decided against it. I think only 3 or 4 people added their pictures after me. But if there's interest in doing another, I'd love to. The only problem (from my point of view) is that I have to have all of the pictures completed by a set date, whereas everyone else usually starts their pictures then ... and then never finish and post.

 

I posted a thread about it.

For the "swinger" that site you linked said it was "roll film" I was wondering if that's actual roll film as in like 120mm film or if there is some crazy roll polaroid film I am completely unaware of.

 

PantsPants, the film for the Swinger (20 Series) is no longer produced in large amounts like the packfilm still is. I've heard there are still places online to purchase the correct rollfilm, but I have no idea where...

Unfortunately, 120mm film won't work with the 20 Series cameras, if you find a 30 Series:

i'm super interested in these land cameras. i know nothing about how to operate them or develope the photos, but i love the way the pictures look. i see alot of you talking about finding them in thrift shops but i've never found one before.

 

Thrift shops of all varieties are great gold mines for photo treasures.

Mostly you'll find some plastic 35mm cameras and some flash bulbs to a foreign camera. One in 10 might have some variation of Polaroid treasure. Look in your local Yellow Pages for a listing of "Thrift Shops", "Second Hand Stores", "Flea Markets", and so on..

Ask around, friends, family, neighbors.. You never know how willing people are to give away a camera they never use that has been sitting in thier attic for decades!

If all else fails.. eBay.

 

Once you get ahold of a camera or two, let us know and we can help you use it.

 

Woops, I just saw your Colorpack camera..

Sweeeeeet, you got an SE (Special Edition). If you ask me all the best color combinations come from the SE models. I found an SE model of a 600 Land Camera in Montreal.. It has a sliver/blue button. Fancy.

Anywho, the Colorpack takes 80 Series Packfilm... such as Type 89 (color) and Type 87 (B&W).

you a piggyback ride to the store so you don't even have to walk.

 

 

It has been developed.

My mistake, it was used at my drunken party last Monday. A co-worker took it home in a hungover panic. She called me later and asked why she had 3 cameras instead of 2.

I told her to develop the camera and I'd pay her back. That was a week ago, it should be set.

anyone know if Polaroid film is allergic to airport x-rays?

 

I really think it is.

:cry:

if it shows up at my place ruined...I think everyone should just buy a pack and finish it and then send it on.

 

This might not be possible. Not everyone can get access to a good photo store with the correct packfilm.

Ok, for the Pass Around:

 

As I see it now, the PPA is ready (or soon ready) to be sent to SteveAustin.

I take it that the packaging might be a little crappy. I have no idea how to compensate for whatever the film is going through with shipping from A to B. We don't know if the film is being destroyed from heat, lasers, handling... or what.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to better pack the PPA? Does coating the inside of the box in tin foil do anything to block the x-ray process.

My guess is that that's illegal anyways.

Poo on a stick. I need to know what's damaging the film each time it's sent out.

 

As SA suggested if this continues, each person could (and may have to) purchase a new pack of film (667 or 669 packfilm).

Are you guys cool with this?

The upside would be, more use with the camera and more photos for yourself AND more to post in the book itself.

DON'T FORGET: you CAN use other Polaroid materials in the book on your pages.

 

I think that's it...

Self-developing (integral film)

Packaged 10 prints to a pack.

Actual image area: 4" x 3" (10.2 x 7.6 cm)

 

330-series AutoFilms are used in photographic equipment having a Polaroid CB-33 back. As far as I know, there were no general-purpose cameras available which use this film 'natively'. NOTE: You can think of AutoFilm as being much like an "extra-large" version of Spectra or 600 film.

 

Type 339:

 

Produced: 19??- 2003 ? / Original Price: $??.??

 

Film speed: ASA 640

Color

Has self-contained battery to power film back and/or camera.

more talk.

 

i can buy new film if i have to.

 

aluminum foil would block the xray, but it might make the package look really suspicious.

 

as much as we'd all like to think our government is on top of things, they are not.

 

the post office is not xraying [all] packages.

i can pretty much guarantee this.

i know some post office people.

 

it may have happened travelling overseas, but nothing is being xrayed from point AtoB in the continental u.s.

 

wrapping the film and the camera itself (as opposed to the entire box) in foil wouldn't be a bad idea.

This is what makes no sense.

The camera went from Me to Tesseract overseas with no problem at all. The film arrived in perfect shape.

 

Then it's sent back overseas to Chupa and it's dead.

Then it's sent again, DOMESTIC to PMB/ild, and it's dead again.

 

I have NO IDEA how it keeps getting killed.

PMB and I did some research and discovered that ANY film under ISO-800 is ok to scan multiple times.

The Polaroid film, 669, is only ISO-80.

 

Is someone in the postal office taking a blowtorch to the package everytime it's on the move?!

WTF!

so, it's the film that's dying, or the camera, or both?

 

i don't think xrays could kill a battery.

 

we could have the thing insured as well.

at least that way, new film would be replaced.

 

apparently battery powered items are classified as restricted by USPS.

 

technically, we weren't even supposed to send that thing internationally.

 

i dunno.

i'll look into it more.
