Help--Polaroid SX70

[raymond bleesz]

A dinosaur for sure, a Polaroid SX70 camera, but one camera I kept in my photo closet and am presently using with the new Polaroid Sx70 film. I do not have the flash unit which was an option way back when. I question the "accuracy", the color acuity of the present day SX70 colored film and am wondering if others who use this set up can share their thoughts regarding the "color" of their prints.  I do not want to continue purchasing this film if there are common issues. 
Your thoughts please---Your set up (there isn't much in the way of "manipulation", camera settings other than focus) for your best results in color--Thank you

I haven't been impressed with the results, and experimenting is very expensive.

The current Polaroid (Originals) SX-70 color film does have a muted palette IMO compared to the old stuff. It's more consistent now, though, than it was a few years ago. I tend to pop a pack in and expose the whole thing within a day or two, else the color fades pretty quick.

I still have one flashbar left from decades ago, with one unused bulb. Doubt I'll ever use it.

The original SX-70 film was not known for color accuracy either. And both magnesium and electronic flashbars are readily available.

Yep, accuracy has never been a strong suit of SX-70 film. Probably why I've always liked it!

Most fun ever with SX-70 film was physically manipulating the emulsion with a pointed object just as it was developing.  Puppet Warp thirty years before its time.
