the polaroid dilemma – advice anyone?
it's a problem, it really is a problem. I love cameras, and I really just want to own every new camera I see or read about, but as usual that's not the point. I want to own a polaroid, I think that most photographers that have any interest in the analogue world really do want to own one. It's just my opinion though. Here's the other problem, I can't afford one, I mean who really can afford a pack of film that costs around $1 a picture or more. I like the route of a little less than $2 a roll of film (cheap B&W).
Let's pretend that's not a problem, which is a bad idea because if it wasn't I'd go out and get one or more of every type of polaroid camera. So let's say I can afford the film.
Do I go find some cheap working 600 camera?
Do I go find a not so cheap but probably better SX-70?
Do I go for a spectra camera (which i know nothing about)?
Do i go find a really cool film type 100 camera (fuji makes film in this case but the cameras aren't as new and it's the peel-apart film)? this could be if i decided to go for a polaroid holga back (holgaroid!)
There are probably other options out there also.
We'll see what happens.
