I often get asked \u201cwhy do I need to use a neutral density filter to shoot Polaroid film with my SX-70?\u201d The simple answer is that Polaroid film found readily in stores today are more light sensitive than the film made when the SX-70 came out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most retail stores sell Polaroid 600 film. They are easily identified by their blue packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you put in Polaroid 600 film into your SX-70, all of your photos will come out too bright. This will happen even if you turn your exposure dial all the way down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A neutral density (ND) filter acts like a pair of sunglasses for your film. By using a ND filter, your photos will come out properly exposed. The Twin Tails Camera Shop ND filter is easy to install and reusable!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a much cheaper and non-destructive method compared to sending your SX-70 to a shop to have it 600 converted. SX-70 600 conversions generally cost $200+ while we sell ND filters for only $9!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those who are proficient in photography – Polaroid 600 film is ISO 640 rated while the SX-70 is expecting ISO 100 film. The ND filter reduces light hitting the film by 2 stops, resulting in the ISO 640 film functionally becoming ISO 100 film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
