From what I've heard the new polaroid films are way less consistent than fuji instax stuff. I've only shot the instax stuff personally but some inconsistent/bad results has prevented me from getting a polaroid
But of course it's the amazing Robin William in Mrs. Doubtfire ( may his soul rest in peace <3 ).. Lovely photos Matt!
A bonus of the BW Polaroid film is how much faster it develops opposed to the color film. It's almost like original Polaroid/Instax speed, which is fun to watch come in.
Love this man, thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing you shoot that last pack
I have been using Instax Wide monochrome with my Intrepid 4×5 and the Lomography Graflok Instax back. Fun stuff.
Great idea for a new video, would be a fun watch for sure.
do it! polariods black and white are amazing!!
Just got a polaroid635cl with a pack of BnW and here you are uploading this video…coincidences are scary!
mrs doubtfire?
Bring on the instant content. Love that you’re also a Mint shooter, though I’m using the Instakon RF70
Shoot that black & white tho 🔥🔥
I'd like to create a series of landscape and close-up nature shots that look more fine art but not sure where to begin. Any suggestions on how to maximize those tonalities that you spoke about with using the b&w polaroid film?
Just got given a Polaroid 600 type camera this week and took a few pics in colour. Think I was a bit close as out of focus. I do like the look of the b/w Polaroid film though, so might try that next. Thanks for this perfectly timed video 🙏
Hi Matt
Great video
Question, can you share your technique for scanning Instant film
I know there maybe an issue with Newton rings so welcome your advice and guidance
Thanks

I think maybe those early days of TIP film is when I started following you on the socials…that's a trip! I'm also surprised at how the contrast is on your shots. I am more of a BW guy and shot A TON of TIP Black Frame BW and then Polaroid BW and since about 2018 it's always been a bit too contrasty. I think about the same time they switched the negative material as well.
I have slowed using it in the last year because of this and switched over to Instax Square Mono on my RB67. It doesn't have the same character as Polaroid film and still has a green tint, but is more consistent. But if the latest Polaroid is lower contrast I need to get some! What is the date on yours?
And yes, please shoot more BW, find some Black Frame BW and shoot it and please do a photo walk with some!
I’ve been shooting a ton of Polaroid recently. Really getting back to my film roots…
dude you look a lot younger
Make that video! 🙏✌️
I really like bw600. I get bitingly nice contrast sometimes indoors with a clear window light.
Also, now I feel like I gotta check out my TIP first flush stuff! 😀 I keep them with gel packs and hope it helps
Love polaroid content not enough online! Perhaps a video sharing and discussing photo books that use instant film as it's main medium of choice! Could be a good one hehe
How is the quality of Polaroid integral films today? Do the pictures still self-destruct over time if they aren't stored dry and properly? The products of the Impossible project never seemed to have the longtime-stability and durability that original films of Polaroid (until 2008) had. Do the present films have an acceptable quality and will the pictures be enjoyable for a long time without needing to worry that they will fade away soon?
Would love to see you review the 'push' book by grant Brittain! Also a little technical question about the sx70. I have one too and It works but it's been a couple of years since I've used it and when I test it, it looks like the mirror slaps against the top of the camera creating a 'thump'. Is this normal?
loved it brotha!! really looking forward to to this next one 👀
I love the instant film shooting experience. I'm going to watch any video you make about it! I've been using a Mamiya RB67 with a Instax Square back. But the camera is so big and heavy so I rarely use it because of this. Also I find it a bit tricky to focus and it has no light meter. So lots of work. Furthermore I like the look of Polaroid film a lot more than Instax film. So I'm going to get a Mint SLR like the one you have and try Polaroid for a change. At least the camera will be a lot lighter and more compact 🙂
That Ms. Doubtfire reference is chefs kiss
P.S., Those polaroids are beautiful!
Always love Polaroid content, Matt, pls keep it coming!
It was great to see your experiments with black and white polaroid film, Matt. It makes me keen to get a pack for my Instax and to see what results I can achieve.
It would definitely be brilliant to see a video of you going out to shoot that last pack too. 🙂
Looks like I'm buying some BnW polaroid tomorrow.
Also, yes to every future video you mentioned. Keeeeeeeen
always love your video!
please can you tell me how you set your lightmeter with mint camera? f8 or f11? it seems that with polaroid 600 film exposure is not f8 as for the sx70 film
That 3:12 is an all timer classic photo i can tell.
I love the fp3000 hope to see that video
Hugs for you and the kids
Good father day Matt

I've been shooting a lot of black and white iType on my RB67 and love it. I've been disappointed with the color iType I've shot; much prefer Instax's color look.
