Shoot Polaroid 600 film in your vintage SX‑70.
Modern 600 film is two stops too fast for an SX‑70, so every shot blows out. Our ND filter fixes it in about a minute — $12, reusable, and completely reversible. A shop conversion costs $200+.

SX‑70 film is ISO 160. Today’s 600 film is ISO 640.
That’s a two‑stop gap, which is why every frame washes out even with the exposure dial turned all the way down. Same camera, same film, same light — the only difference is the filter. Drag to compare.
A pair of sunglasses for your film.
Which one do you need?
They look almost identical in the packet, so pick by the problem you’re trying to solve.
“My shots come out blown out.”
— shooting outdoors, daylightFull‑strength .6ND — two stops. Our original filter. Makes 600 film expose correctly in bright light with the exposure dial left centered.
“My shots are coming out too dark.”
— overcast, shade, indoors
Half‑strength .3ND — one stop. Lets twice as much light reach the film for better low‑light performance. Recommended for anything that isn’t direct sunlight.
“Can I make mine pink?”
— or amber, or green, or magentaPhoto studio grade color gels, 9 shades to choose from. The only filter that also fits modern Polaroid 600 cameras, not just the SX‑70.

Worried it’s fiddly? It takes about a minute.
The filter sits on the film cartridge, not the camera — so nothing is modified and nothing is permanent. Position it with the cut corners at the top, slide the left and right tabs under, tape the top and bottom, and load. It peels off and goes on the next pack.
Read the full fitting guide →Duochrome color, without the hunt.
Polaroid’s own Duochrome film is a limited edition — hard to track down, and only ever available in very few colors. Ours are photo studio grade gels that drop onto any pack of 600 film, so you get nine looks without chasing a special release or filling your fridge with single‑color packs.
One thing to remember
Any color filter costs you a little light, so this is the one product where you turn the exposure dial towards brighter — the opposite of the ND filters. Darker shades like Dark Blue and Magenta want bright daylight or a flash.

Nothing permanent. Nothing to undo.
The filter goes on the film pack, never the camera — so there’s no conversion, no soldering, and no way to damage a fifty‑year‑old body. Twelve dollars, about a minute to fit.
