awhile back i'd posted about how my sx-70 mysteriously stopped working. i'd given it up as dead. then last night i went to a meet up of members of the lomo.tw board. someone was shooting a bunch of polaroids, and i mentioned to someone else that my sx-70 died. and when i explained the problem he told me that maybe the batteries were dead. before the evening was over he swiped an empty "cassette" that had been shot that night and handed it to me saying to test my sx-70 with it. and tonight i did just that, and lo and behold it works again! needless to say i'm quite happy.
anyway, just had to share this minor victory of mine.
