-Rage- Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 A) Only the packs of film are dying. Something is causing them to produce nothing but a blob of colored nothingness. This is caused by x-rays, heat and aged film. B) Having a battery connected to the camera shouldn't cause it to nuke the packs of film. Both IN the camera and the seperately wrapped pack of extra film. C) Why wouldn't an object with a battery be insurable? If it IS posible to insure the whole package, and I think it is, then we should totally do it. The total value of the package should be estimated at about $100. 1 Polaroid Camera = $10. 2 Packs of undeveloped Polaroid Film = $40 1 Art Book = $50 It shouldn't cost more than 5 bucks to insure it. I have a feeling that if it's insured, it isn't scanned OR it isn't scanned as much. ... woops. Come to think of it I did Insure the package when I sent it to Tesseract, battery and all.... I insured it for $50. and it only cost an extra $1.85. Maybe that's how it escaped a deadly film mushing virus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!@#$% Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 i'd say heat may be a likely culprit. post office trucks are not insulated, so they won't cost shit, this means that during the winter, they get frozen and during the summer they get cooked. maybe insuring the package gets it handled better and maybe placed on an insulated truck. dunno. but, they obviously pay more attention to the care of the package. i don't think battery powered stuff can't be insured, i was just saying it was restricted. what this means for us, i don't know exactly. they might just want to put an extra sticker on it. they might also say that to get them out of trouble when batteries get ruined in unisured packages. i'll ask my friend whats up with insured packages, what they do or do not go through on the way. aside from all that, we've learned the hard way. so, when i get it and have to pass it on, i will insure it, and let's get that going for the rest on the list as well.

-Rage- Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Originally posted by !@#$% insure it, and let's get that going for the rest on the list as well. My thoughts exactly. I've sent a message to ilovedrunk to insure it on its way to SteveAustin. I think he'll be sending it out sometime this week. I'd advise everyone to know if your local camera/photo shops have Polaroid packfilm in advance. So, if the film in the camera IS damaged, you can get a new pack right away and keep the PPA moving.

Mr. Peanut Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Originally posted by -Rage- 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). thanks for the info on the film man. that shit's pricey! i can't wait to use this puppy.

ilovedrunk Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 fr8junkie..... i think your camera has a light leak... you prolly know this.. each negative has that whiteish haze at the top of them (top depending on how you hold the strip)... lots of times those are fixable at a repair shop.... i miss the darkroom plauhands dope shots...

MrChupacabra Posted August 24, 2004 Author Share Posted August 24, 2004 To anyone who i've ever sent polaroids to. If you have access to a scanner, i'd very much appreciate if you could scan them sometime and send them to me. Its not at all a hurry, more just the fact that i never get around to scanning any of my polaroids before i send them all away. Thanks.
