Not my equipment when I shoot weddings so not my money hahaha
But as a everyday user yeah its hard to justify the jump in price from 1.8 ->1.4->1.2 i will have to agree with that
I used to love the 50 1.2 but i find the 85 much easier to shoot in a wedding scenario
Are you an expert in SX 70s? I bought 2 SX70 from Ebay, 1 the seller said that they never tested it and the other one was tested to be working, but I've never touched it yet, it's back in my hometown. I have the 1 that they never tested, and I tried it a few weeks back, and the film that came out was just 1 color, it's like not filmed properly, there are no images at all, just brown liquid'ish. Do you know what's wrong with it?
Definitely not an expert haha I just love instant films of all kinds, but the SX70 has to be my favourite of them all, something about the design its just amazing.
Your issue is the film not the camera the chemicals on the film turned bad, what kind of film was it? Old Polaroid films or the new Impossible Project stuff? The Impossible Project ones used to have a lot of those brown spots issue when it was still in beta but its a lot better now but every so often it still does happen. Also be careful where you store your film it cant be too warm, its best to keep them in the fridge when its still in package.
If you are using old film just pick up some new ones and from the sound of it I think its fine.
