SX70 porn

Somehow I had the feeling to blog again today! Yes, I know! It has been a while. Somehow the motivation I had at instant addicts is gone. But I stop crying now and tell you something about camera porn. Simon and I, we are really no great fotographers. At least he isn't. And most time when we work together, we are drunk, but! but!  our biggest fun is building, cutting, destroying and sometimes repairing cameras. Shortly before Christmas when we finished our 110-SE-mods I started the idea of a perfect SX70 set. Some time ago, perhaps more than a year, I built my first f8-SX70. This is a really nice and special camera but you always have to use a flash (the bigger the flash the better). This time I tried the opposite, avoiding flashes as long as possible (and it was/is quite simple).

Motivated by mints SLR670 and unmotivated  by its price I took one of my Revue models and started collecting stuff. I wanted to use the PX600 and PX680 in it. I used the first one very often with pretty strong yellow and red filters but was always stressed when I was too lazy for adding a filter or didn't want to use a filter at all. But anyways, the filter-set went in the bag, also some 600-films. The filter holder is the reason I'm not using a SX70AF.

just look for filtes which fit in the holder

I added the magnet ring of a slr680 to use the crappy crappy 2.0 lens (which is so crappy, it's awesome again).

who needs sharpness?

Also a small tripod was added and the tripod was also the reason I am using my revue. All my other SX70s don't have a tripod stand but since selfie is word of the year and I have a self timer and a remote control cable I of course need a tripod with me!

"where's my body?"

Now I removed the face of this good fellow, cutted it a little bit so it fits to my revue and removed the ND-filter. I got this idea some years ago by Noah Kolb (dude your homepage is down so I couldn't link it). With the reomved ND-filter the camera acts faster. Thus you can use the 600s-impossible series with some aperture control. Also the 600 film is awesome with the weak weak crappy crappy mintbar on it. So, with a SX70 film inside I use the camera as always and by night I put an awesome flash bar on it.

"I like my new hat"

The 600-film gives me three options

- original face and flashing with a mintbar

- original face and using some strong filters

- new face and shooting by low low light

yeah, the bag I use is also by polaroid

Stuff you need to have with your SX70

- filter holder with some filter

- lens hood for the filter holder

- close up lens for the filter holder

- self timer

- remote control, also look here and here

- flash bars

- mint bar

- crappy crappy 2.0 lens

What I am missing

- the awesome 1.5 lens

- the mint-lens set (I'm not complete sure ;) )

- tell me more stuff this SX70 needs

Merry merry christmas

ps.: of course I never watched the youtube-vid, is it good?

Saletime

So, first of all I am starting to continue this blog in english. Second, I have to sell some stuff. My flat is crowded with stuff which needs a new owner, most of the times because I have it multiple times.
Thus I will update this posting with some stuff, just write my an email if you are interested in one of the articles or comment here. I hope you enjoy the crappy pictures.

Polaroid packfilm backs

Flashes
a lot of
- flashcubes (not on the picture
- magiccubes
- flashbars

SX70 stuff, mostly flashes
- three times Polatronic Flash for SX70AF
- Regula Variant 1071 for SX70AF
- Regula Variant 1070 for SX70AF
The Regula is the kind of Flash the Mintbar wanted to be. It is bigger than a mintbar but it works so much better. The 1071 is a little bit thinner then the 1071

- Braun SX70 Flash. Works the same than a polatronic. I have the adapter cable for a SX70, but there are some SX70AF cables around. I have the Braun three times, WTF? BUY IT. It's better than a Polatronic, no tripod adapter needed to hold properly.
- Argus electronic flash
- a flash which looks like the Argus but is smaller
Both flashes are equiped on the bottom of the SX70. Not as small as the Regulars but if you use them, you then get a tripod adapter (if your SX70 doesn't have one)

- two BADASS Unomats'SX70 flash for the normal SX70. The best you can have. You put it on the top of your SX70 almost as fast as a flash bar, it is very strong, and in my opinion even more awesome than a Regula. The third one I own is the reason why I never use my mintbar.

Almost all flashes are compatible to OneStep, 1000 and so on. When I have time I will add some (good lol) pictures with the flashes on a camera

- A THOUSAND SX70 bags. I have another bigger box with bags. Buy someone one, two or three for christmas!
