Do you think it’s possible with Polaroid now +!? 🤓🧐
Do the dimensions of the fisheye image equal the framing of the Polaroid circle frame??
Great vid in my opinion. The info on RE, the existence of options. Exposing the continued use of shoddy design, giving the company an excuse to drop Spectra film, instead of blasting out, the HOLDING the shutter button in, to the consumers. This holding it in, is even a feature of the OPEN-SX70. I mean, how many workarounds do we employ, just to get a decent shot (I-2)? All that to launch the GO and compete with instx. Did, or do polaroid know about the workaround of holding in the shutter button to avoid jamming? (Also would eliminate the need for a frog tongue). Were they lazy ignorant, arrogant, or all three?
Thanks man. I love your stuff. Hope your well.
Have you ever tried testing the fisheye lens with the round frames? I'm curious to see how much would be cropped out if at all. Also very interesting theory about the film🤔
