i bought a polaroid 600 at the flea market today, for 100 r. (~$4), it had 7 sheets of old paper in it. i wasted most of them on testing. it's a very funny camera - i wonder if that thing should be called 'camera' at all though - too bad the cartridges are so expensive. also, i bought two soviet cameras yesterday, one of them a 1957 zenit-s slr with a beautiful, bright, slightly roundish and yellowish viewfinder, but it has a minor defect, so i haven't tried it yet.

i love that pola and i am so excited for you!
but yes, polaroid film is so fucking expensive :( why did they decide to do that? i mean, it's even more expensive than regular film with the processing costs added in :(

yeah, but it includes an accumulator. it's really crazy, and i didn't believe it when the man who sold it told me that the cartridge includes both the paper and the battery. it's also funny that people call this 'film' in english.

Don't understand anything about the technical side of things but like the dog and glad you back in business :)

thank you. but expect my productivity to decrease by 90% (that's what moving to outdated technologies is all about:)

Oh bummer, back to the stone age, eh? Well, I'll expect your quality to increase by 85 per cent then :))))
