Just received some of this film, loaded just fine but the first two pictures that I shot were, err, bloody awful. Kind of a pink mess, with a faint image just visible. I'm sure that my SX70 camera is ok, last time I used it anyway. Has anyone used this film? Were the results OK, or have I got some dud film?

PX-100 is, er, very unpredictable. It's the weirdest film I've ever used in any camera.

I've used several packs and found it well-nigh impossible to get consistent results. However, there are a few 'rules' to up your chance of getting something presentable. You need to cover from light asap, then you need to keep them dark for a while too. Temperature changes also affects the colour etc. Some people have reported fading of images over time - I've kept mine in a dark box and they've been ok so far.See hints here, and also look at the Flikr group for hints

I've posted a couple of my more successful shots in the APUG Polaroid/Impossible group. You have to remember though to expect quirks, mottling, strange exposures etc...

Hopefully subsequent versions of Silver Shade iron out some of these issue.

Hope this helps,
