iTried.... iReally tried.... Polaroid i2...



 Well, the journey with the Polaroid i2 has come to an end.

It is on it's way to a new home in Massachusetts.  Sorta fits since Polaroid was based in Cambridge, Mass.

The limitations of it being a non-SLR, the lidar auto focus and the difficulty in just getting to do as I want, even with all the manual controls built in, I finally have said ENOUGH.

The Polaroid SX70s are still an engineering marvel and they are over 40 years old.  I am getting far superior results and the cool factor and immersive feeling from it makes me WANT to shoot it.

I got what I feel was a fair amount (since I use to dabble in the photo retail world for a few years).

In a way I was hoping this new generation of Polaroid and their flagship camera would have delivered the goods. 

It just came up a bit short.
