The new SX-70 Blend film for Polaroid SX-70s [see previous post] is now shipping from North America! Free shipping until 10 December, 2006!

The seller writes:

Hey everyone,

SX-70 Blend is the brand new film for all SX-70 format Polaroid cameras. It uses an integrated neutral-density filter and optimized chemistry to yield more vibrant colors and stronger contrast then ever before. And the original-spec cartridge fits perfectly into your camera without any jiggling.

I just signed a contract to distribute the film in the USA and Canada. It’s available for sale at my website:

www.lordofthelens.net

The price is $38 for a doublepack, and there are discounts for bulk purchases. Moreover, I’ll be happy to offer you all free USA shipping on your first order. Canadian customers will get a $6 shipping discount – reducing their s&h charge to $9.00. Just enter the code LOTLSHIP at checkout. This offer is good until December 10th. Every order ships promptly from New York City, and includes a free SX-70 button (an actual button – not the camera!)

Check out my Flickr photos to see some actual shots taken with the film.

Thanks!
LOTL

Since Polaroid discontinued Time-Zero film, shooting SX-70 cameras hasn’t been possible without some hacking. The folks at Unsaleable.com, purveyors of Polaroid products, have introduced SX-70 Blend film that works in unmodified SX-70s, no exposure compensation required.

Specs

Film Speed: ISO 640 / DIN 29

Format: 3.5 x 4.25 in. (8,9 x 10,8 cm)

Image Area: 3.125 x 3.125 in. (7,9 x 7,9 cm)

Finish: Glossy

Unique SX-70 Blend features:

  • Special blend-chemistry for unique and pro-quality colour management.
  • Integrated ND (neutral density) filter for optimized film speed correction.
  • Original SX-70 film cartridge that perfectly fits inside all SX-70 Cameras, no physical manipulation required.

The Web site has lots of info: this film compared to 600 and Time-Zero, an info PDF, a PDF data sheet, and lots of sample images.

There’s a discount offer available for Polanoid members, details in this post.
