Anyone else use a Polaroid camera still?

Firstly apologies for the terrible use of English in the title!

So i just bought my new, 50 year old camera A proud owner of a SX70 polaroid!

Got it for USD60, not put any film in it yet, that comes ion the next couple of days.
Will probably pay for a full service and leather replacement at 190USD

Also considering getting it changed to accept 600film to be more flexible

Anyone else shooting polaroid out there?

Would love any tips and opinions on converting it to 600film from 100.

I've got a 600 camera, and I use seldom use it given the price of the film. But it's a good thing to have at the same time.

I think the best conversion you can do is to convert it (if possible) to use the iType film. They're cheaper than the 600 film as they don't come with the battery in the cartridge. I've seen a modification where you wire in an external battery to the 600 and it'll happily accept the iType film.

Just wish they could get the film quality back to how it originally was !
