Demo - Polaroid PolaChrome - 35mm Instant Slide Film 

you can still buy slide film.

It exists, it’s called slide film or e6film

@@andreikis that's not the same thing..

Sure, but the only difference is the format. This is instant, but still slide film

@@andreikis yes but that is quite a huge difference.

Bo Dez To make something like that now will cost mega bucks. Who's gonna buy film at maybe $30+ a roll. Damn, I mean 20 rolls of this now days, and you've got a banging dslr and kit lens. I know film is beautiful, but when it gets that expensive, it's just not practical or even affordable.

Fujifilm kind of mimics the classic cameras with their instax series, but I don't know of anyone producing instant film

Yes there was the risk of scratching the slide when it was still a bit wet. I didn’t remember if I opened up the canister or not, but for sure I was very careful and slow when pulling it out before mounting. I didn’t use the cheap plastic mounts from Polaroid, instead I used glass mounts from West Germany, you heard it right West Germany! One thing about Polapan, I loved using it for still portrait, it gave you the feel of Italian style and very artistic which Kodak Plus X Pan or Verichrome Pan could not produce. Polaroid, was ahead of its time, but success made people became a slacker, I supposed that’s what happened to Polaroid.

Polaroid have been one of the most creative company in it's time. I guess that product was intended for photojournalism as they was using mostly slides at this time and they had to carry the lan with them if not close from newspapers agency.

Ektachrome is dead unfortunately. At least the process for it. But ektachrome just came back!

Did you use it? How it was?

I gave mine away(still in the original box and mint condition) to Goodwill a few years ago, I hope at least somebody might find it as a treasure.

ACID SNOW it is. But very hard to find in working condition. Its trial and error.

on the hunt for one of those sets now :D

I imagine that it will be tough to convince Polaroid Originals to revive Spectra only a couple of years after they canceled it.

FYI Polaroid was selling this processor here in Canada for sure, cause I used to sell it in Toronto back in the 80’s. The reason you didn’t hear about it was it never caught on with the public. Hardly anyone noticed it’s existence, that’s including the pro. I had a tough time introducing it to people about the potential usefulness of instant slides. I guessed slides were pretty much dead by the late 80’s and nobody wanted anything to do with slides.

@@ShikLam666 Cool. Interesting bit of information. I suspect in the same vein I know some smaller shops especially only stock product they know are a "sure thing" and that sometimes left innovative products hard to find or a special order item.

+Bob Izam yeah it works. Dont know how needed it is though.

yep.

Now days I use Final Cut.

what macbook/Mac are you using and what specs? just wondering because I was looking at getting a mbp 13, and was wondering if it be suitable for a 4k workflow.

+Raeygo thats what I use. Works fine for me.

oh snap that's great thanks for letting me know

This is not E-6 process! Its Polaroid system. Above the colour layers there is a layer of crystals. When you roll it in, the roller will crush them and the chemical reaction will start. But as on classic Polaroid camera you need to clean the rollers often to avoid the scratches.

Probably not.

+icestormdelta14 are you sure you didn't screw up and bought the blue version? It was meant for blue prints. This is the chrome version which is very magenta.

it could have been, it was 1985, and a polaroid representative brought enough in for a roll or two for every student, I just remember that it was very stylized, and needed a lot of light to get reasonable slides.

No.

David Gifford Check out that new instax 35mm thingy. Not the same thing but still fun.

Regular negative scanner. But you can use a camera with a macro lens as well.

@@gearreallydoesntmatter Thanks, I've got a plustek but I've been told polachrome is a pain to scan (by the same uncle) and he wouldn't find anyone willing to scan it.

I used a plustek.

@@Varo486Photography No dont worry you have the presets of polaroids in silverfast so you can easily make it. About annoying to scan I would say at least for my plustek is fuji Acros.

abiyoga pamungkas ebay but its definitely getting hard to locate.

scratches.

Caused by the development machine? or camera, or already on the undeveloped film? To my eye they are highly distracting.

The film expired in 1991, its sensitive. But they dont show much on a projector where slide film is suposed to be shown :) If its to distracting I can only point to the disclaimer in the beginning of the video ;)

Ah, thanks! Hey, in relation to the new Olympus an Panasonic camera's with IBIS, have you got an eye on any of them?

Im very interested in the Olympus. Always liked the look from them and their IBIS is absolute gold.

That's awesome. Let me know if you want to sell a box or two ;)

GC West early 90s give or take a decade or two.

Both chemicals and film expired 30 years ago, obviously it will be funky.

@@gearreallydoesntmatter 30 years ago🤣 I knew it. You are lucky to even get any image at all.

3 out five rolls where unusable.
