Not sure to be honest, my Bessa shots were a bit off as well. Might be me metering for the wrong iso maybe.

No, I'm serious. I'd heard rumours that Polaroid might resurrect their instant cameras.

Maybe they realised how much of a huge mistake they made.

Yep fairly dark pics there but looking good. What are you metering with? Maybe it picked up some backlighting? Even Pocket Light Meter app does. Wonder what Polaroid are up to?

I was using light meter app, but I think I may have developed it too hot. My chemicals were at room temp instead of 20c so that may be what has caused it. I am really hoping Polaroid are bringing back their film as they are seeing the Impossible Project making money on it. But the general opinion is that Impossible is rebranding as Polaroid. I managed to lift the hood and focussing screen off the Seagull and wipe the fingerprint off the inside of the viewing lens. Happy now. The Polaroid 300 is just a rebadged Fuji Instax so hoping something awesome is coming.

They were in serious debt and struggling against digital cameras. Fuji however have proved that there is still a niche market for instant cameras despite their high cost.

I read that Polaroid have new owners and the same group own or have a big chunk of Impossible Project. I just want the good old days of film back where it doesn't cost an arm or a leg for eight shots. Would love some 127 film as well.

I loaded up two Minolta 16 carts this afternoon. One with 100 iso Max Speilman film and the other with Kodak Ektar 25. Both cameras are loaded now. Will also reload a 126 cart I have kicking around. Just about finished printing an 8mm take up spool for my projector.

I went digital today. reading articles, watching a couple of videos and playing around with the settings on the OMD EM10. I think I managed to set up a B&W silent shutter street mode setting.

You would have thought that there would be s quick button for that or is it buried in the menu? I tried out the projector tonight, works a treat.
