Very nice....!

When you say "Polas" what are you shooting with and what film is that, please?

I've just got an SX-70 and been shooting PX100 Silver Shade and there's a world of a difference between your shots and mine, to say the least.... :-[

I would think the difference is mostly "Color" ;)
Obvious isn't it  :P

Yeah, very good Francois, you got me there!!  ;D

To be a bit "clearer", Damoin's shots don't have the appearance of having been  run over by a tractor a couple of times - i.e. his shots look have things like an even exposure across the frame, contrast, sharpness......

Thanks all,

Late Developer... This is (very) expired 600 series film shot through a Polaroid 680.   Its a great camera.

I have also tried the recent impossible project film and found that it had streaks and lines, like this shot

At first I wasnt sure if it the film or the camera,  I would havr to say its the film as the colour film I shot before and after that was fine.
