polaroid sx-70

monstruo · 8th October 2006

Hi everyone,

I'm not sure whether this will be the right place to post this. However I do need word of advices.

I realise i have a polaroid sx-70 lying in my dad's dry box for ages. I want to experiment and take some pictures of it. However, the film for this camera has been discontinued - Time Zero Film. Some Sx-70 users modified theirs to accept 600/779 film.

I'm wondering anyone here who owns one and modified for 600/779 film. I've seen instructions online but didnt really understand (I personally want to make sure i fully understand before i modify it).

Can anyone share his modified experience on this?

ND filter was added to allow 600film work due to it's explosure. Where can i get this filter in SG? -can i purchase it in SG or no other means except ebay/online.

Am i likely to find any shops that still sell time-zero, 600film locally?
