the "ideal instant camera'', since it is built upon the most sought after Polaroid SX-70, and has modern compatibility. Accessories Flash Bar In 2011, MiNT released an electronic flash bar, compatible with all Polaroid folding and box-type SX-70 type cameras. The flash has a half-power setting for 600 film and a full power setting for SX-70 film. If desired, users can choose half power mode and use 600 film with their SX-70 cameras. The second generation was released in 2013 with improved charging time and an auto-sleep function. It can be used with color filters and provides a sync port to trigger external flashes. The MiNT Flash Bar is considered an essential accessory for the SX-70. It is difficult to get good pictures without it, especially indoors. Lens Set The MiNT Lens Set was also released in the same year. It can be used with any Polaroid SX-70 camera. The set includes an ND filter, blue filter, yellow filter, close-up lens and a fisheye lens to create different effects. Since Polaroid film will exhibit red or yellow colour casts under bright sunlight and hot weather, using a blue filter will correct the white balance to a more natural colour. The yellow filter is used with black & white film to increase image contrast. Self(ie) Timer The Self(ie) Timer is a tiny device that counts down automatically when the button is pressed. It is compatible with all folding Polaroid SX-70s. References External links The Mijonju Show Unboxing Bigheadtaco TL70 Teaser τ Camera maintenance
