Impossible PX Shade

Impossible images are light sensitive and need to be shielded from direct light immeiately as they eject from the camera - the first seconds are crucial! If not carefully shielded images will develop a yellowish to pink tint.

The Impossible PX Shade was developed for use with folding Polaroid SLR (folding SX 70 or SLR 680) cameras to immediately and easily protect your Impossible images upon ejection from the camera.

Product Specifications
    The Impossible PX Shade works with folding type Polaroid cameras (SX 70, SLR 680, etc)
    It does not work with the the foldable Polaroid one 600 model.
To attach the PX Shade to your SX 70 or SLR 680 camera, open the film compartment of your camera. Insert the PX Shade, the narrow metal rail ahead, into the gap between the metal rollers and the black flap. You may need to slightly pull down the leather cover on the bottom of your camera to allow the metal rail to fully eject from the camera. Finally pull the metal rail until the PX Shade is in its operating position.

I don't know what all the complaining is about--this thing rocks and makes shooting so much easier for me. Worked like a charm the first time on. I don't care if it's a little over ten bucks; if TIP needs a higher markup on some things to make up revenue, that's fine with me. REMEMBER: They brought back the Pola film, for Pete's sake.

I love impossible films, I have purchased many but this particular item isnt worth the cost. Its great in princple and works pretty nicely out of the box and indoors, but has these downfalls: 1. Any sort of light breeze will cause this to flop and light will hit the pic, causing light problems. 2. It is not tough as nails as someone states, mine has small tears in the rabbit ears on the side after only a short amount (3 packs) of use. Still works, but it seems pretty quick for any sort of damage given that I am very careful when using my cameras. 3. It cannot be folded and stored that way - it will cause it to bend, forcing the film out of the top of the shield instead of the bottom. I learned this the hard way and discontinued use. My home solutions work better, and cost far less.

Mixed feelings.

Well, this product does work when used, but I think the design is pretty bad because it's kind of time consuming. The biggest problem is you can't close your sx-70 when the film is inserted, so you have to set it up every time you want to take a photo and take it off when you're done. Basically that made me stop using. The old tutorial this website use to have - the cardboard technique - worked better and costed nothing.

Less Is More

You'd never know it to look at this thing, but it's really ingenious. The profile cut into it covers every crack that can expose and fog the print without being in the way and screwing up the ejection. The aluminum weight at the end keeps it tight to the print without having to touch anything- just shoot and leave the print in place 'till you can safely shield it with a darkslide or cold-clip. I been shooting a lot of the PX70 PUSH! film and this is absolutely essential to making that film a little less wild. Tough as nails- I've had mine in with the camera folded and haven't managed to put a crease in it. Just goes to show that it's more about the thought and design involved than the sum of the materials used to make it come together, and this is a perfect example of some simple materials being used to make a brilliant accessory!

Hi George, The PX Shade will not work with The Button camera or any of the plastic-bodied cameras. What you'll need is the Frog Tongue: http://shop.the-impossible-project.com/shop/accessories/ac_frogtongue

This "accessory" seems really strange to me, as does its reception. We're being asked to pay $13.99 for a piece of dark plastic which probably costs no more than a nickel to manufacture?? I'm very happy The Impossible Project is manufacturing new instant film in a former Polaroid factory, and I'm shooting with it. The results are rough, to say the least, but I'm thinking of the problems the film possesses as an artistic challenge. "Fantastic, awesome, great, buy it." Evidently the Project is selling more than a product (think Apple).
