Question on Polaroid SX-70

[vintagesnaps]

It looks like either the film is drying up or the rollers may not be spreading the chemistry properly. I've gotten some divots but usually it's in a corner or along one side, I haven't had this happen to a large part of the image.

Are you shooting outdoors in daylight?

Check the battery or the leads?

 

[vintagesnaps]

Which IP film are you using, their 600 or 70? If the camera ejects pictures then the batteries in the film pack would seem to be working.

In my experience I've found that those cameras need plenty of light (don't do well in low light w/out a flashbar).

The more light, the better with these things. That's been my experience in the 4 photos I've ever shot with a Polaroid.
