Finally got round to shooting some PX100 on my SX-70. I missed out on the FirstFlush but managed to get some of the early second version from a UK retailer (who I wont be using again - too slow). I had used the PX600 on an old 600 CoolCam and I loved the results, so expected even better from PX100 in the better SX-70. But I found it really hard to work with. I didn't help myself by forgetting to take along something to shield the shot from the sun with, so I had to resort to pulling it out quickly and shoving it in my back pocket, which worked to some extent but it was a hot day and the contact with my body gave all the shots a red hue which faded over the course of a few hours.
Beside all that, I managed to get 4 shots that I thought were "keeper" on a trip to Pinch Hill with my Dad. Pinch is in Marhamchurch, Cornwall; just of the A39 as you travel north towards Bude. I've walked round there loads with my parents as it is one of the places they walk their dog. Lovely place with a high hill on one side and a great stream at the bottom of the valley. All the trees were in full leaf in the height of summer and the place was so peaceful. I also fired off some Polaroid Blue on the Land 100 and some digital shots. There might have been some 35mm film and Holga stuff too but I cant remember!
I've got no more Px100 left now as I used the pack up. Not sure if I'm going to get any more as I've got 2 packs of PX600 and I prefer using it in the 600 camera.
