RETRO TECH: POLAROID 

Not to forget, Instagram is so heavily inspired from the Polaroid that IG's original logo was a Polaroid too!

“What are the 8 things you want to remember forever?” That question made me appreciate photography nowadays even more.

Me: oh cool! A video about vintage cameras! Marques: D R O P T E S T

I am absolutely in love with this documentary style. The fact that it’s not behind a paywall is baffling

This series is just Marques telling boomers how young he is.

I’d still use a Polaroid camera if the film wasn’t so expensive

This series made me want to have a Polaroid so bad

6:40 "Has anyone taken a selfie with a Polaroid?" Mr. BEAN !!!!

I like how everyone is like “DONT SHAKE IT” and the last dude was like “... I was today years old when I learned you don’t shake it”

My grandma was obsessed with photographs. When she passed away this exact camera was the keepsake I took and still have to this day to remember her by. She had about 10 boxes full of nothing but Polaroid photos without frames. Her fridge had no blank spots ever. She held the family together. Photography was apart of making those memories special and gave us a way to reflect. This was state of the art in her day.

more like a documentary than a youtube video, the quality and effort spent is insane here :) love it

4:33 "That's why every photo from back in the day, nobody's smiling" 😂😂

20:40 "Oh wow, that's hot" *Marques having flashbacks*

The person who made and designed it s a genius

Imagine getting a retro tech episode about DSLRs

I appreciate how much Marques loves his technology, no matter how old. You can tell by the way he hesitated at the drop test proposal @13:55

Karlie Kloss: is 6 ft tall Marques: "Finally, a worthy opponent"

I wish Polaroid Originals (previously "The Impossible Project", the group/company that resurrected the polaroid film as seen in the video) got a shout out. The original Polaroid company died and Polaroid Originals is a whole different team who got Polaroid back into the modern market.

I was never a fan of Polarouids, I never understood why people liked old bad quality pictures. But after this video, i can appreciate them. The Physics behind it is pretty dope

Even in the 90s as a kid when you met someone with a Polaroid camera it blew my mind as I was used to mom sending in the film by mail to be developed and you had to wait a week. Little did I know the technology was much older than me yet it felt futuristic even then.

It's so crazy how all of these tech items are in one single device that fits in our pocket.

I'm really sad that there's only one more episode of this series left. I've really, really enjoyed it. Thank you Marques and team

"What are the 8 things you wanna remember forever?" Oh that feeling now i remember...when you actually had to think twice before you take a picture

“Is this liquor?” Best line

I feel like DIO is watching me with this

New Tech : Touch and Feel Retro Tech : Smell

Lovely episode. Loved it so much❤️

The subtitles being moved to where the person talking is in the frame is actually really underappreciated and total overkill.

Love how MKBHD was In actual pain during the drop test

They could've showed Casey's polaroid wall

I grew up with a Polaroid 600 in the mid-late 90s. Just purchased an Sx-70 with sonar autofocus. So cool how much quality was put into the build of these old tech devices.

From all the polariod cameras iv'e seen. This is the best looking one. Classic and elegant look

“It’s a pleasure to touch, even after 45 years it still feels good...”

I can't believe you got the 8x10. Great job guys, loved this episode.

I was hesitant to plunge myself into a 25 min video about old tech, but honestly the whole video was a lot of fun! I enjoyed all the different perspectives. Thanks for the awesome content!

Marques- Takes two shots Also marques- I feel like my photography skills are getting better

this feels like a RU-vid Premium Video, not an MKBHD video

Respectful comments and no stupid memes, a major positive for Priemium content.

Checks under the seat* "Is this liquor"

"I don't know the iPhone letters" 😂

Me after watching an episode of retro tech : "yeah i'm gonna find it on ebay and buy it" ebay and the internet : giving weird stares at my kidneys.

That kid was smart. He figured out it was a printer/camera before most average adults would have

I love how your videos get so much better each upload. This is pure quality and informative.

I need a large format camera in my life. That shot of Marquez was pretty incredible.

RU-vid Premium Gangggg Keep up the great work Marques! I hope you see this!

This is the best content I have watched so far that you ever posted MKB! I love almost all of your content but this one takes the crown for now. Amazing production quality, good sound mix and lots of info. Keep it up bro!

Drops the damn camera 5 times and still works perfectly: "nope" Damn millenials

Oh man, that old ass b&w picture is the best thing ever

to the people who think they're cool because they have premium and they think only they can watch this, no, i dont have premium, and im watching this

This series is amazing, I am loving it. Keep it coming Marques.

It's still magic today...love the colours!

I miss these cameras so much... was like magic watching them develop when I was a kid. The anticipation was awesome.

Totally loved this episode of Retro Tech! I do love that sound when you take the photo, also the design of the camera is incredible and amazing! I’m really liking this series!

A beautifully told story. I grew up in the Polaroid era and now collect SX70s.

Really cool to see these cameras making a big come back.

I love this series!!!! Takes me back to the day of simpler tech and joy!!!

"So the development of a Polaroid is heat based. Huh." Yes, that's how chemistry works! d:

Definitely one of my favorite videos from your channel. So cool to learn about the tech that preceded everything we use today.

Wow! This is so intriguing, entertaining and well paced that I didn't even realise that it was 24 min long until it was over! Love this series!

@3:42 "This liquor?" 😂 😂 😂😂😂

who would have thought we got to see marques and karlie kloss in one frame 😯

Imagine a proposal with the talking camera and a snap at the exact moment..

Marques this is one of my favorite videos, you're changing a lot and I like it! Thanks!

I'm jealous that this Polaroid looks so much cooler than the ones of my youth lol.

14:13 every time they dropped the camera, my heart skipped a beat

Marques and team, this is one of my favourite videos that I've ever seen on RU-vid in 15 years. This was delightful. I didn't expect you to get so hands-on with the tech, and I loved the photography and experimenting you did. I'm a massive fan of instant cameras, I own three and use them nearly every month. My bedroom wall is covered in Polaroids I've taken of friends, family, and people I knew for one night at a party. I think you've done a great job at capturing what was probably so compelling about this tech back when it was new. I know the series is Retro Tech, but probably my one criticism of this excellent video is that you didn't mention how prevalent instant photography still is. In fact it's not just had a slight resurgence recently, it's cheaper and easier to get into than it ever has been. It just isn't under the Polaroid brand name (but you can still call it that) - the film is called Fuji Instax, and there are tons of cameras by Fuji and third parties!

Alright, I actually love this series. Mind Field and Retro Tech are certified DOPE

Being the photography geek that I am, I'm living for this

Ok so I've been putting off watching this because I've been so excited about it. Counterintuitive I know but I wanted to enjoy this video and that I did! It was excellent. MKB did not disappoint! These still give me the butterflies and gets my blood flowing... the OG of what's become today's cameras and photography 📷 🤳 ❤

@11:50 that’s already a Chanel

Back when I was young.. early 80’s.. I wondered why it said “Land camera” by the film eject area.. now I know..

Flexing my RU-vid premium here

I love it how you filmed yourself discovering the camera! Exactly what everyone would go through when manipulating it the first one and that's so much more interesting than someone already knowing how it works!

This series is really good Marques, I hope you do another one of these kind of series in the future, I would really love it, I think everyone would love it. Keep up the good work mate. ~Jesse Australia!

Shake it Shake it Shake it Shake it Like polaroid picture -André 3000

I always love seeing Polaroid content. I just got into film photography a year ago and I now have a few Polaroid cameras, including the Sonar SX-70

Fokkin loved my Polaroid in the 90s, was excited to know that there is still a modern lineage somewhere (as last I'd heard on things was when they died out), totally gonna get one soon

The budget and quality of this are astoundingly better than TV. So nonchalant about having a supermodel in the episode for like 3 minutes.

I love shooting with my Polaroids, the SX-70 is just awesome

I’m glad you interviewed Kyle Depew from Brooklyn Film Camera! That shop is singlehandedly doing so much for not only instant photography but film in general!

20:55 pretty sure hear gives any chemical reaction a boost because for a chemical reaction to happen the partials need to rub of one another and heat gives the particals energy and when they go faster there more likely to run against each other idk tho I probably explained it wrong

peter and karlie in one episode! too much awesomeness

"it feels like you're breaking it" I remember thinking exactly that the first few times I started shooting polaroids.

Polaroids: The camera of serial killers.

In the first minute, I'm so amazed by your video production. Just a straight up well done.

Sept 2020: Seeing people out in in public close together without masks = RETRO

Wow, This was really well done. Great job Marques and team!

“you feel like you are breaking it” yeah thats pretty much old tech a lot of stuff quite rough and strong

If you guys just left the Polaroid pictures face up in the sun, it would have given a redish tint on the photo

Everybody gangsta until something appears in one of those shots.

the sx70 has scared me me ever since i watched polaroid

Heating a substance increases the average kinetic energy of the particles so the frequency of perfect collusion increases which also increases the rate of reaction This is why when you heated the film it developed faster

Retro tech is a great idea, reminds me of my youth and its new amazing products! Loved it!

Honestly, this would have felt like magic back then. It’s still really cool nowadays!

19:00 Marques became michael from vsauce for like a second

Retro? Polaroid is how my childhood was documented. I'm not almost 30 😲

retro has a big place in my heart.

That picture that you took right there at the start my man, keep it, it will be a museum asset. A retro camera original taking a picture of a contemporary camera man.

Marques every episode: its rewind time!

Loving this show! Makes me want to get a polaroid camera
