Has anyone else noticed? The Polaroid website is all digital now. All the data on their instant print stuff is gone. No advice on tweaking the film for atristic effects. No user manuals. All gone.
And I was looking for the manual for the 203 ID camera. |

Hello Tom; I just bought a near mint SX-70 with system case for $2.00. Now i'm wondering what to do with it.
I found this site: http://www.camerapedia.org/wiki/Polaroid_SX-70
What advice do you have regarding use of currently available Polaroid film for this camera?
Thanks, Richard. |

If you can find the 600 filmpacks shave off the little tabs on the bottom and it fits the SX-70. Use a ND filter over the meter window to compensate for the speed diff. |

Thanks Tom. I wonder if a small aperture covering the meter window would work if no ND filter is at hand?
P.S. Here is an abbreviated user manual for SX-70 for those interested;

but I can't find anything on your 203 ID camera.
