Hi,
I have Polaroid SX-70 Land Camera 1st edition.
I bought a brand new Polaroid Originals frog tongue for it. When I install it it works well after first shoot.After that from time to time the photo comes out above the tongue. In order to get it work I have to open the camera and pull up the tong each time.
Does anybody has the same problem and some solutions?

Hi.
As many of us, I had the same problem; furthermore it rapidly broke, i had to repair it several times with duct tape.
I don't use it anymore.
New PO films needn't any frog tongue anymore.
When there is too much light, I use the darkslide as a shield before shooting a photo.

Hi, thank you for your prompt answer, but I don't thing that we don't need a frog tongue anymore!! There is no official information regarding this.
When I take a picture w/out frog tongue the picture becomes too bright....
Due to the solution with dark-slide from the video, I don't like similar solutions.Each time I have to open and put it there.....
I also temporary solved the problem with duct tape.
