Can others edit my Photos
Photos NOT OK to edit
It being a section devoted to classics, I thought I'd share my Polaroid SX-70 use mods. Due to a stroke I had I have limited feel and control of my right hand. To improve the ease of use of the shutter button I'm creating a secondary, and more convenient shutter switch connected to the SX-70 remote connection option. I have little doubt there's a similar fix, but as a former engineer I couldn't resist lol!
The next step is 3D layer by layer printing that's available now.

My son-in-law did a 3D printing of that "wish" part, and it will be in my hands at Thanksgiving!

Necessity and the "mother of invention" thing, right? Where are you getting SX-70 film?

I believe I will be waiting until after New Year to order a supply, but checking now shows my best option is going to the new Polaroid and buying direct. My last two packets gotten through an Amazon source showed up nearly expired and it was the same price as if I got it directly.
