600 expired '04
I got my first 600 camera this weekend thanks to Sol Exposure.
Also got lots of expired film, gotta love trades.
Close up lens test.
My Polaroid obsession started with my mother. She bought me my first OneStep as a birthday present. I have since acquired two more OneSteps (or is it three?), an SX-70 Sonar, a ProPack, a 600SE, a Spectra 1200FF, and a Polaroid back for my Holga.
After my husband died, Polaroids were one of the things that kept me sane. They were physical. They lent permanence to memory. They could be put in a box, safely stored against the future. They could be secrets, shared between myself and my camera.

Choose your favourite poem and try to represent a line of it visually.
— Marcus Bleasdale
Though not strictly a poem, its what came to mind when I saw these.
"If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, but make allowance for their doubting too; . . . If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same . . . Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it."
-- (Joseph) Rudyard Kipling
the very first picture of me was a polaroid, shot with the same onestep i've been using for the last year, when i was six hours old in my mum's arms. an omen prophetic, perhaps?
the first two to three years of my life were captured with that onestep as well--sleeping, bathing, me with my mum or dad, summer pictures, winter pictures...all that loveliness.
the camera wouldn't get use again for another quarter-century. in that interim, virtually any photo of me my parents took was taken with a 35mm SLR; and while i do have an affinity for 35mm as well, instant photography continues to fascinate me. image transfers, emulsion lifts, sx-70 manipulations...all made possible by polaroid film and, ultimately, dr. edwin land.
for a while i've been fearing that i came into the world of instant photography too late. a year before i started getting into it seriously, sx-70 and time zero film, which my onestep (and the other varieties of sx-70 cameras) took, went bye-bye. but then the sx-70 blend film was commissioned by polanoid and unsaleable, not to mention 600 and 779 film were still around, so there was a light at the end of the viewfinder. ;) then last month came the body blow: ALL polaroid's instant film was to say goodbye.
i'm a very stubborn woman sometimes. i don't want to say goodbye to instant film forever. did traditional painting die when photography or photoshop and painter were invented? have 35mm, 120/220, and (to a point) 110 photography died thanks to digital? NO. so why should those of us who shoot instant film have to give that up because of digital? i don't want to give up using my onestep or spectra.
before there was digital, there was polaroid. let's keep instant film alive. save polaroid.

The SX-70 is a folding single lens reflex Land Camera first produced by the Polaroid Corporation in 1972. It was the first instant SLR in history, and the first camera to use Polaroid's new integral print film, which developed automatically without the need for intervention from the photographer.
The SX-70 has a folding body design, a 4-element 116mm f/8 glass lens, and an automatic exposure system. The camera allows manual focus as close as 10.4 inches (26.4cm), and has a shutter speed range from 1/175s to more than 10 seconds. This makes the camera incredibly versatile, and it can be used in pretty much any situation, from portraits to long exposure photographs.
This type of SX-70 is a "SONAR Onestep". Quite literally it is one of the best model of SX-70 cameras available.
The main feature of this amazing model is its AUTOMATIC FOCUSING system. When the shutter button is pressed halfway, a series of ultrasonic chirps is emitted from an electrostatic transducer located under a gold plate above the lens. These chirps travel to the subject and bounce back to the camera’s receiver, alerting the camera to the subject’s distance, and the lens is turned via a motor to focus accordingly.
Don't think for a second that this automatic focusing is gimmicky! Simply put, its one of the most accurate automatic focusing systems ever made, and will outperform most new digital SLRs. It can focus from infinity down to 26cm in under 1 second!
Of course, you can over-ride the auto-focus and focus manually with the touch of a button if you want to.
The SONAR SX-70 models also features a tripod socket as well as a neck strap, to make the camera more portable to carry around. Most standard SX-70 models did not have these features.
This particular model is the rare "BC Series" version. The BC Series was the name designated to cameras specially branded for sale at USA K-Mart stores. Although we do not think of K-Mart as a very serious brand these days, back in the 70's K-Mart was actually quite heavily involved with photography, selling many lenses, cameras and flashes under the brand name "Focal". It differed from standard models in its color scheme, which featured a mix of both black and chrome look panels and a unique, grippy pebbled rubber leatherette.
Sadly though the original rubber leatherette does not usually stand the test of time, and most BC Series coverings crumble away in your hands. The original leather on this camera was crumbling away, so I replaced the original covering with genuine pebbled black cowhide leather, to give it the luxurious finish it deserves while maintaining the originality of the color scheme.
