Hi Puggo

I got the exactly same problem again around eight months ago. the colour films of IP just went blue, and blue and blue. they seem to have a new film out though, for 600 cameras. Me, I have a 600 camera and as you see above, it's actually not too bad what they do. The only trouble you'll have: You can't take photos outside if you don't have the possibility to have them in a completely dark drawer or something. In addition, the temperature plays a big part in how the photo is going to be.. warm = brighter colours, cold = blue and if you're unlucky only blue.



That one should work with your 600's. But I don't know how it's with the SX70's. Let me know more about your efforts.

I suggest: pre-warm a towel, take the polaroid and put it into the towel immediately (that only works if it's not too cool outside or if your motive is not too far away from home or another warm place).

thanks for your tips!!

tried with their black sheet attached with tape to the cameras, with no luck:



will try the towel one this weekend while taking pics at home

a good idea! thanks for that. but for homeuse it should usually work without that big efforts. My routine is: Take the picture, "run" to the cupboard and put it in a drawer where it's safe and warm. (+/- 21° Celsius)
That is actually enough to get good results.
Oh, btw: there's no need to totally cover the photo, it's enough to just put it in a dark drawer.
But if that's not the case with you, there might be something wrong with your equipment...

Cool stuff haesslich, particularly the first one. Apologies for adding to the general festive bombardment that we've all had to endure for the past couple of months. I just couldn't resist....

some sort of noisy digital pictures out of a hazy window.
