Polaroid 600 film in an sx-70 and vice versa

Currently my Polaroid uses 600, it's an Impulse Portrait but at one time I had both Polaroid 1000 witch uses SX-70 film and I had a Polaroid Sun 600 LMS which uses 600. But  I never knew I could swap the film and because of that I had to stop using the pretty white one with the rainbow because I could only find the 600. now that I know this I want to get a nother Polaroid 1000 to play with.

 Your Instamatic camera is not obsolete.

Thanks to Solaris and frugalphotographer.com and small companies like Solaris. These companies are beginning to reproduce old film types. remember the old box camera like the Brownie 620 for example, in the past you had to re spool a new roll of 120 film and if you didn't have an empty 620 spool you were out of luck. but that is starting to change a quick trip on Google and you will find a number of site that carry once obsolete types of film. here are some of the links I have found...

the Linatree pinhole paper camera

 


















another paper camera, this one is made by Linatree it’s a real simple design based on the Dirkon, well basically it is the Dirkon only the art work has been changed. by the way the site this camera came from is no longer there and so this camera is very hard to find now. I’ll post the Dirkon next, but for now enjoy this one.

the original Dirkon

 

this camera is probably the least expensive camera in history. back “during the 1970’s magazines published in Communist Czechoslovakia were controlled by the state, like the majority of other enterprises. Very few good magazines were available and were difficult to get hold of, so people would borrow and exchange them when given the opportunity. This also applied to magazines aimed at young people… the cut-out paper camera known as Dirkon*, published in 1979 in the magazine ABC mladých techniků a přírodovědců [An ABC of Young Technicians and Natural Scientists].” it was created by Martin Pilný, Mirek Kolář and Richard Vyškovský basicly it’s “a functional pinhole camera made of stiff paper, designed for 35 mm film, which resembles a real camera. It may not be the most practical of devices, but it works!” source pinhole.cz
