Polaroid 170 BV 35mm film camera

History and Presentation of the Camera: The Polaroid 170 BV, although bearing the Polaroid brand, is in reality a product manufactured in China by Concord Camera, a Hong Kong company, under license from Polaroid. It illustrates the difficult transition of the film photography industry to the digital age. However, this device has its own vintage charm and distinct features.

This camera is equipped with a true 28mm wide-angle lens, offering unique shooting possibilities. The flash is not automatic, but it has red-eye reduction, allowing you to control the lighting in your photos. Manufactured in 2002, the Polaroid 170 BV is a testimony to its times and the evolution of photography.

Why shoot film in 2024 ?

That's true.. Why would you want to shoot film in 2024 in the digital age?

Film photography offers a unique and timeless aesthetic that digital cannot replicate. Film grain, colors, and contrasts create a depth and texture that is unique to film photography.

Film photography allows you to physically hold your photos and negatives, providing a more tactile and memorable experience. Each photo becomes a unique object that you can keep and cherish.

Shooting on film encourages you to think and plan each shot carefully. This develops your photography skills and teaches you to be more attentive to detail.

Using a film camera connects you to a long tradition of photography. You are using a technology that has captured historic moments and has been practiced by generations of photographers before you.

With film, you focus on the moment without being distracted by the screen and digital settings. This allows you to better appreciate and capture the essence of each moment.
