Here are a few images taken with the Lomograflok back on one of my Crown Graphics.
I calibrated the range finder, so I could basically point and shoot.

Are these some of the current production polaroid?

A couple of years ago I tried some of the new B&W and got a few good images but over a few months they turned brown and started looking terrible.

If you’re using the new film I may have to try it. I have an SX70 and one of the newer models that shoots rectangular images as well as a couple of cheaper ones that shot square. I don’t remember the models but think they’re making film for them.

One other question, I bought 3 packs a couple of years ago from B&H and the batteries in the packs were dead or nearly dead. I read that was pretty common at that time. Is it still a problem?

These images are actually Instax. I do shoot Polaroid as well.

Why not?
Jeez, I have a *ton* of Polaroid and Instax prints to scan! You may have just motivated an avalanche.

SX70 SLR (not sure what model; color by cooling the film during development)

From a time-traveler´s scrapbook (Image/Spectra, slightly expired film)

 

[petronius]

Double- and multi-exposures using the Polaroid Image/Spectra. Some images were heated during development, some were put in the fridge.

 

[Rikard]

@petronius such wonderful pictures. I don't know which ones I love the most. The abstract figure studies are extremely good and the multi exposure stuff is top notch. Overall great compositions for the medium. Inspiring! I do feel a bit of a regret that I picked the rf70 and instax over the sx70 and polaroid.

some recent and some not so recent - various formats from INSTAX wide to pack film shot on a land 250 and RB67 and a Polaroid 600

Love instant film in all its guises
