Why not go with the "600" series....The films cheap (both on sale & EBay) , larger and the camera/processing units are real cheap used (yard sales/EBay). Hacking them takes a bit of care but one you figure it out you can use one for a "back". Find one w/o flash...it's easier to open up/use. OR mount the film pack in the P/H camera, expose it, put pack in Camera (in the darkroom). It will shoot out the first piece of film automatically, thinking it's the cover piece...works well. You can process SX-70 in it as well but not easily in reverse - 600 in an SX-70 body because of the 3 fins on the bottom if the cartridge. hope this helps a bit...have fun!! andy

Subject: [pinhole-discussion] Polaroid 500 Hi all It's been a pleasure to watch this list for a while now. As the subject says, I have such a film and would like to know if it's worth something without the Joycam? My first look of it revealed nothing how to use it, so I'm planning to visit a local shop to buy a Joycam and hack it a bit, but if someone has any ideas or posesses a Joycam. I'd be very happy to get some information how to use this "glue and tape" system to use this film. Nowadays my darkroom is so small, it's quite difficult to develop anything there, but Polaroid (though it's expensive) looks like handy alternative. Now it's white also in this part of the world and exposure times have come to some reasonable values.
