In the late 1970s, Polaroid began to manufacture plastic-bodied non-folding cameras for their SX-70 film, as an alternative to the more expensive folding SX-70s. Numerous iterations of these “OneSteps” appeared through the early 80s, with slight design variations and features. The 500 is one of those iterations. The 500 cameras were European models and had a black and tan color scheme.

Like the other rigid plastic SX-70 OneStep models, The 500 had a single-element plastic lens, fixed focus, electronic shutter, programmed auto exposure and a socket for flashbars or electronic flash attachments.
The 500 camera works with any of Impossible’s SX-70 films which can be purchased HERE

Impossible celebrates the woods that built America in this limited edition analog film bundle, featuring frames of (somewhat accurately reproduced facsimiles of) American Hard Maple, Canyon Live Oak and Hickory Nut.

Each pack contains 8 frames of PX 680 Color Protection film, our latest, and greatest color film. Thanks to the innovative color protection formula there is no need to immediately shield your photos from direct light.

Much like a tree taking time to reach its full height, PX 680 film will take 30 to 40 minutes to fully develop (in colder weather it may take a bit longer.)

The film is slightly slower so we suggest adjusting the L/D setting on your camera a tick or two towards lighten.

Enjoy this unique limited edition now!

We can’t promise you’ll have a white christmas but our special holiday packaging for PX 680 Color Protection is covered with snowflakes!

Available in festive five or three packs, this limited edition packaging contains the best color film we’ve produced for 600 cameras. It makes a perfect gift and will surely generate a blizzard of thank-yous!

Please note the film in the Holiday packaging does not have decorated frames, they are the classic white frames.

Based on the success of our first Polaroid Classic products we expanded our assortment of iconic Polaroid branded accessories, originating from Polaroid’s rich 75 year long legacy.

This legendary compartmentalized carrying case is a real design classic from the 1970s. It was designed by Polaroid to perfectly store and protect your SX 70 camera and accessories such as additional film packs, flash bars, etc.

Painstakingly styled to match the original version of the Polaroid SX 70 case, the new Polaroid Classic Line Compartment Case takes this classic to the next level:

-> Manufactured with love and care using genuine, high quality leather (instead of the faux leather used for the original version from 1972)
-> Hand sewn and ready to last forever
-> Adorned with matte metal accents
-> New inner design in blue velvet with removable compartments – Giving you the choice to use this case for your SX 70 as originally designed or for some of your other treasures
-> The extendable carrying strap allows for various carrying styles and ensures ultimate carrying comfort

This is the film we have been dreaming of and working on for many months. Words can’t describe how proud, happy and excited we are about how magical it finally turned out. A complete new recipe combined with an innovative color protection formula improves the opacification process, finally allowing for easy shooting without the need for immediate shielding of the photos. And after 30 minutes you will be looking at crisp, powerful images like in the best days of instant photography, making your analog heart beat faster.

The new films are so strong that we want to do 2 impossible things:

1. We don’t want to win you over with wonderful sample images as we usually do, but instead simply invite you to get this film and see for yourself.
(If unconvinced you can check out the results from our Pioneers: PX 70 and PX 680).

2. We are absolutely confident that you will love these new films as much as we do. In the unlikely case that you should not be satisfied with this new film you will be able to return the 8 frames of the film pack back to us for a full refund of the purchase price
