Yeah, welcome to the Polaroid team. I just have to head to the bank to get a loan for all the rest of the time-zero in their warehouse...

Have you bought some that worked fine since the "manufacturing glitch", Hobbes? I haven't, and I've been wondering what I'd get at this stage - will you be able to manipulate it easily?

Thanks all! Will post some work up shortly...

I haven't bought any for about a year when I bought five packs. I've just loaded my last pack into the camera so I guess I need to go and get some to see what happens. Good thing I got that daylab so I can easily switch to the lifts and transfers.

Yep - I was thinking about that. Although I could sell ya an SX 70 base on the cheap. :mrgreen:

Hi All,

As promised - but two days later! Here is a thread with some of my SX70 maipulations:

Incidentally - I loaded up some of the new stock SX70 last night and tried out some manipulations, using a hair dryer to heat up the emulsion shortly after development. No problems. Perhaps sets a little faster. Encouraging when I have to move to 600 film packs.

That's definitely good to know. :thumbup: Thanks for that info. Looks like I may as well buy a few more packs and see what I can do with it, before the film goes the way of glass plates.

Thanks for the link!
