It's been a week or so since I shot mine and they haven't turned sepia yet either, but I don't want to commit to anything yet. Gotta give it a few months lol. Most of mine were locked away in binders, seeing no light at all. And they still browned. So idk!! Thanks for comparing, I was wondering about the monochrome frames vs the regular frames

[@JustAnotherChris]

Good info to know! I plan to do a follow up on mine to see if they change!

[@timothytherrien3624]

i just came down to the comments to say (again) that the production quality of your show is top notch and that your intro alone should be the thing getting you tons of subs. it will come soon - especially if there's another big boom in popularity of Polaroid shooters soon.

[@JustAnotherChris]

Thank you that means a lot!

[@Francois_L_7933]

For repairmen, there's also The Instantcameraguy in Australia. He has a KZbin channel where he shows his repair process. He also does iType conversions.

[@JustAnotherChris]

Yeah I have heard of him. If only he wasn’t in Australia. Hard to get people to send stuff mostly due to the cost and time. I have seen his itype mod. I still prefer Dennis’s. His looks interesting though

[@president12383]

Great video Chris! I picked up one of the new packs after taking a break from photography for a year and the results weren’t as I expected! Everything looked washed out and overexposed so I may have gotten a defective pack or I didn’t underexpose enough on my sonar! I have 5 shots left so I’m going to try again tomorrow! Maybe I’m a bit rusty lol as it has been a year since I shot anything!

[@shekelsean]

I'm glad they're fixing the formula. I shot a pack of black and white shortly after I first got my now+. I took some pics inside and they look great, but the ones I took outside later in the day are certainly a creamier color.

[@spadelump]

So far the only black and whites I've shot that haven't went brown at the top are the monochrome framed ones I got

[@JustAnotherChris]

Hmm interesting 🤔

[@pierredubois5851]

Hey Chris, Really loving the new formula. I noticed that in most of your black and white pictures you had white dots at the top corners. Do you have any idea why? Is it because maybe the black and white chemistry is more light sensitive?

[@robinchaplik2340]

Hi, Chris. I’m a huge fan of your channel. Thank you for all that you do. Quick Question: Did I imagine this or did you mention in a video that you sometimes make a cut in Polaroid frames to facilitate the drying process? I am definitely seeing orange at the top of a bunch of my b&w (new emulsion) shots - that’s why I’m asking. If this wasn’t a figment of my imagination, would you mind explaining the process (i.e., where you make the cut)? Thanks, Chris! Regards, Robin

[@JustAnotherChris]

Theres a little sponge strip on at the top on the back of the photo that’s what I was talking about.

[@robinchaplik2340]

@@JustAnotherChrisThank you so much! Have a wonderful week!

[@Shukakuson]

Can we get a video on the new Instax Mini SE? Or is this just another reskinned 12 with no selfie mirror?

[@JustAnotherChris]

It’s something I’m looking into 👀

[@bailey5924]

A quick google search shows that it seems they brought back the exposure control of the Mini 9 that was removed in lieu of the selfie zoom feature added to the 11, can't imagine there's anything else different about it

[@RufleX]

Nice video bro, i think i prefer color films but this new one look great. I was finally able to buy my first polaroid, a Onestep2 Strander things edition. I have a question I see blurry in the viewfinder, is this normal? Do I have to do something to the viewfinder?

[@eatenbyopium]

what do you use to scan in your photos?

[@LaskyLabs]

I mean I liked the old stuff. But this is WAY better! Glad to see them putting money where it counts!

[@JustAnotherChris]

Exactly!

[@leonarddaneman810]

I've had a Sonar SE for a while and shot occasionally until Impossible went out of business and Polaroid has been out-of-stock since Dec-2023. Any news on when new film will hit the pipeline?

[@JustAnotherChris]

Film for polaroid cameras can be bought from Amazon,target,wal mart,Best Buy and Polaroids website.

[@hackaninstant]

How does the new b&w film work with an orange or red filter? Instax mono film reacts very poorly--lowering the contrast and turning the photo muddy.

[@eatenbyopium]

what film was the shot at 3:51 taken on?

[@JustAnotherChris]

Film? It was Polaroid color film.

[@eatenbyopium]

@ don’t shoot Polaroid but I thought they had different kinds like itype/600/sx70 are those all the same?

[@JustAnotherChris]

@eatenbyopium not anymore. It’s all the same. Sx70 film is technically 600 film now. Just with a built in ND filter

[@eatenbyopium]

@@JustAnotherChris thats good to know i had no idea i thought they all had different looks. Just ordered my i2 since the polaroid website is offering $240 off for black friday. watched your videos on it. the camera looks amazing. also thank you for all the information on instant photography.you do alot for the medium and it doesn't go unnoticed. you're a gem.

[@deborahtobin5839]

Is the New black and white only the 600 film or also the i-type black and white after feb?

[@JustAnotherChris]

I haven’t tested the itype but I would imagine it being the same

[@kinnectar820]

How do you compare the new polaroid b&w chemistry to the instax Monochrome?

[@JustAnotherChris]

That’s a tough one it’s like comparing apples to oranges. Both have their style/look

[@thegreatvanziniphotos5976]

Some great pics there from my youth. Somewhere I have a VHS tape of the bomber being moved. I used to convert 8 mm film to to vhs for friends & he has it on??? I think it was regular 8 but maybe super 8.

[@JustAnotherChris]

Dude that’s awesome!! Would love to see that footage. I’m going to do deeper dive on the bomber in the future and would love to include that footage

[@LTHanlon]

Thanks for another cool video - and the old vs. new comparisons. Some of the black-and-whites shot in daylight have what appear to be light leaks or roller artifacts, while the night exposures don't. Is this one of those frog-tongue issues or a mechanical, chemical-spread problem?

[@JustAnotherChris]

Just pack issue. I had to cut that part of the video but it’s not on all photos

[@JasonBrownafewmomentsl8er]

He isnt lying about the night hawk cafe. Well at least it's not new. It was already there in 98 when i moved to the area and had been there a while and the only thing thats changed is its cleaner now

[@JustAnotherChris]

Well that’s pretty cool!

[@wanghurui4039]

I have been bothered by a question for quite some time. Can Polaroid black and white films, preserve their colors for a long time without fading? I hope that the colors in my photos won't fade away, just like the memories they capture.

[@JustAnotherChris]

Haven’t seen that happen yet. I have photos from 5 years ago and they look great!

[@Jclee2009]

How much film do you have ready to use , I'm guessing a lot😅

[@JustAnotherChris]

It takes a lot that’s for sure!

[@bobakdota]

I doubt it . That company has stopped putting research money into their chemistry. Probably a few good bathes

[@JustAnotherChris]

Oh I didn’t know you worked there…. Good info to know!

[@SoloGetHykt]

Lol. Lacey’s that dude. Love stories like that. Bet he had some to tell 😆❤️

[@JustAnotherChris]

Would’ve been awesome to meet him!!

[@thevoiceman6192]

Another good one. Sepia tone not sapia. Just saying. As You I like history lessons like the one you provided about the plane and cafe. At Polacon I would have asked the rep why the colors still suck and not great like Instax. And why did you go to an 8 pack from a 10 pack. Instax Black and white is amazing compared to Polaroid. And you should interview actor Jason Lee who just opened up a film camera store in California.

[@JustAnotherChris]

Trust me Jason has been a long time #1 GET for the channel!! As you can tell I’m a fan! Haha

[@JasonGore85]

Did you also score four touchdowns in a single game? No one cares, Bundy!

[@JustAnotherChris]

Umm my name is chris not bundy 😜

[@devroombagchus7460]

Is this supposed to be funny and informative?

[@JustAnotherChris]

It’s whatever you want it to be

[@GhostlyFilm]

I’m loving the new B&W but I don’t think it should replace the old as this has that “brownish element” to it that is really unique.

[@JustAnotherChris]

Hmm interesting take

[@ninlat9273]

Well I have good news for you. I was looking back on some pics taken with the new black and white film. The pics were taken about 2 weeks ago. And yes they have browned. I store mine in the little boxes from the polaroid website. They never see the light of day.
