Dear Mr. Europcar Car Cleaner Man, I hope you’re enjoying the beautiful old Polaroid SX-70 camera I left in the boot of one of your cars back at the beginning of September. The Europcar phone people told me you didn’t find it, but I don’t believe in God or aliens, so I’m sure you’re out there playing with it. Just one thing - they don’t make the film for it any more. I have a new SX-70 camera now (that’s right, don’t you feel guilty!) and I now know that Polaroid 600 film fits in both our cameras, but it’s slightly tricky. First, put a thin piece of cardboard in the film slot, and slide your film in on top of it. The black piece of cardboard which the camera spits out of a new film works wonderfully for this. Second, go buy an nd filter and stick it on the lens. SX-70 film was ISO 150, but 600 film is ISO 400, so without this filter all your photos will be overexposed. And that’s it! Enjoy!
