Product Information

I used mine recently and was impressed with the great results. So if you need flash, that option is out there. Taken with flash Loading Film The Land Camera 1000 is an instant camera manufactured by Polaroid Corporation. In the United States, it was marketed as the OneStep. Based on the Polaroid SX-70, the camera includes a one element 103mm f/14.6 plastic lens, fixed focus and an exposure compensation dial knob. It uses the SX-70 time zero film. There is a flash specifically made for this model: the Q-light flash. They had two unique shutter colors: red and green. [1] History [ edit ]

I enjoyed experimenting with this old camera and the Impossible film, but with a price of €2,50 per photo, it can become an expensive hobby. This might be the reason why Impossible users seem to be found mostly within artistic circles, while the more casual instant shooters use the cheaper and more developed Fuji Instax film and cameras like the Lomo’Instant. Lately, The Impossible Project has introduced a new enhanced version of their film, so I will be continuing my experiments with this old Polaroid camera! One feature of SX-70 integral print film is its ability to be manipulated while developing and for some days after. Because the emulsion is gelatin-based, and the Mylar covering does not allow water vapor to readily pass, the emulsion stays soft for several days, allowing people to press and manipulate the emulsion to produce effects somewhat like impressionist paintings. An example of this technique was used on the cover of Peter Gabriel's third self-titled album from 1980. Another example of emulsion manipulation was the cover of Loverboy's debut album, Loverboy. Plummer, William T., "Unusual optics of the Polaroid SX-70 Land camera", Appl. Opt. 21, 196-208 (1982) Impossible is the last manufacturer to produce film for the Polaroid 1000, for colorful pictures you can use the Polaroid Color Film for SX-70 *. If you prefer to take monochrome pictures you can use the Polaroid B&W Film for SX-70 *.

There were a variety of models beginning in 1972 with the original SX-70, though all shared the same basic design. The first model had a plain focusing screen (the user was expected to be able to see the difference between in- and out-of focus) because Dr. Land wanted to encourage photographers to think they were looking at the subject, rather than through a viewfinder. When many users complained that focusing was difficult, especially in dim light, a split-image rangefinder prism was added. This feature is standard on all later manual focus models.

As I said from the start, I freaking love this camera.

And as I mentioned, sometimes the film is just not 100%.

Taking pictures with the instant camera is easy. Aim at the subject through the viewfinder, press the red shutter button and out comes the picture. But, there’s always magic in watching an image unfold in front of your eyes. To me, it’s worth it. I’ve even started incorporating Polaroids into my client work, which has been a big hit!McCusker, J.
