Hey, will this mod work on a polaroid 2000S camera?

Thanks!

i'm going to say yes and no, as the 2000 is similar to the pronto. the pronto, so far, is the only one that requires taking the entire system out of the camera body to access the filter. i did it on a pronto and after all the work, i was not happy with the results. for some reason the results are not as striking as in other models. the difference is minimal. could have been just the camera i had, or it requires an electrical mod to the circuit board as well.

Okay thanks, is this for all 2000 models or just the S models?

all the 2000's.

it will work on the 500, 1000, supercolor 1000, supercolor 1000 deluxe, supercolor autofocus and the supercolor autofocus3500

i mentioned these because i'm assumeing your from europe and these are what you may find.

thank you soooo much for this. I love my time-zero onestep and haven't taken any pictures with it since they discontinued the film, but now I'm excited to try out some of my 600 film in it and see how it goes.

Hello from another australian user :)

I tried this mod on a 'Supercolor Onestep' - and it worked! Thanks so much. So happy i didnt have to buy any filters or anything.

I hope to get a polaroid 1000 from ebay and mod it the same way - it looks almost identical to the one shown in your pictures, so hopefully its exactly the same to modify.

I tried a Polaroid 2000 - but the front casing doesnt come off because of the front adjustable lense.

I saw in previous comments that you mention an 2000S - but this just said 2000 - so I'd be careful - as the housing doesnt seem to come apart because of the front lense, meaning you cant get to the gear that needs to be adjusted.

Apart from that though - thanks again, I've successfully done the mod to a 500 model too - but havent tested it out yet though with film.

Thanks again!

it all depends on your degree of ability with the 2000. the lens will come off. there are two holes in the lens ring to insert a small pin or rod to disengage the keepers. make note of the lens ring position for reassembly

Thanks!

i did this on my onestep and my polaroid came out completley gray, but a tiny, tiny hint of the image. any ideas?

[unclear]

to help me analyze.......
1-this is a camera you had used, a known working model?
2-what were the light conditions when pic was taken?
3-did you try adjusting the light/dark dial? (without blowing too many pics)
let me know, joe

[alwaysborrowed]

1-yes, i've used it many times
2-in the shade, but was pretty light out
3-i left it in the middle, i'm not sure which way to adjust it

[unclear]

okay, they are always gray on ejection. once developed, was the faint image on a white background or a very dark background?
