Vintage Exposure
Should I buy a polaroid camera like I’ve always wanted, or just let it go since they will stop manufacturing?
I’ve always wanted to buy a polaroid instant film camera, but now that they are discontinuing it, is it worth it? The camera is 40 (its a vintage SX-70), plus $15 for each set of 10 exposures. Is it worth it? Or should I buy another kind of cheap camera like a lomo? I guess you could produce similar affects not only through those cameras but through photoshop…
I heard polaroid is looking for someone to pick it up and they might not discontinue, or that fuji may be able to do it eventually.
Well, I have a good DSLR, and I want to buy a lomo in the future, but I am now the semi-proud owner of a vintage leather / fake steel polaroid SX-70. If I’m not happy with it, I’ll just sell it on ebay haha.
Hey kelsey, in my opinion, if you feel strongly enough about persuing something, you should go for it. I’ve been wanted a nikon d40 for months, and i thought that it was really expensive, but in the end i got it anyway because i wanted it, price doesn’t pay much role when desire comes into play.
I guess it would be fun to pick up instant imaging, at least you wouldn’t have to go back and forth to walmart to get pictures developed or printed, they’re there instanty, and you don’t have to lift a finger, literally. However, it may have its pros and its cons. They say that after a while, the polaroid pictures begin to fade, and become un-recognizable, which is factual in some respect. And the picture are quite small. If the polaroid is only fourty dollars, you shoud get it, and the film is like 15$ for 10, so that’s like 55$. The camera itself doesn’t seem expensive, but the film seems un-reasonably priced.
i think you should get it, and give it a try, but you should get a digital camera as a main camera. Digital is what’s hot right now. Digital is the way to go. There’s no guest work, no fixed focus, you can take as many pictures as you’d like, and you’re not crippled by any certain amount. You can go outside and tak one hundred pictures of yourself, and not worry about them going anywhere…
