THE PX 70 COLOR SHADE PUSH!

Sally busy killing aliens in Manhattan.

So after much hype about The Impossible Project I decided to give it a shot. I LOVE Polaroids, and I own 4 different sx-70s because I love it so much. I was disappointed with the PX-70 Shade Push after my first shot, and soon, that disappointment turned into hate. This film is piece of crap. Now I don’t shoot photos for a living, but I have an entire side of a wall in my apartment filled with Polaroids. I’d say I understand what kind of pictures should turn out under what situation.


I tried and tired and tried, 10 shots later, I only have 3 pictures with enough details to scan. That’s a 70% failure rate. I did go back to the website after the 1st shot and followed their instructions. Nothing helped. Anyways, I hope the people over there are aware of this problem.

Brilliant Packaging

It was very exciting after I put the cartridge in, I guess every packet has a different design on the film cover. Excitement then soon turned into “What the hell did I just buy.”

Outdoor situation. Such piece of junk.

Note to The Impossible Project: Stop making buttons and selling C-grade Polaroid cameras, get your film chemistry right first! This is not the 1800s and you guys are not exactly inventing the damn thing, shouldn’t be so hard.

Polaroid, I miss you so much, please come back!

    I totally agree with you, i’ve had even a worse failure rate. I’ve had fairly good success with the Silver Shade film, but Color Shade Push is a different matter. However, i am going to try another pack in another SX-70 and see if my camera was at fault.

    I have had the same problem and im now calling customer services! I have a polaroid supercolor 670AF and as soon as I took the first picture and noticed it came out blue I thought something was up! then when I noticed that all of them were like that AND what looks like a ripp at the top just like yours. I dont think its your camera.
