comparison
Polaroid Px-70 vs Polaroid Time Zero Expired
Reinvented instant film, or decayed instant film.
The same photograph, same exposure, both looks at full strength. See the untouched original.
The difference
Both are soft, unpredictable and unmistakably instant, but for different reasons. PX-70 was new film made with reinvented chemistry that had not been stabilised yet — pastel, milky, shifting between cold and warm. Expired Time Zero is old film whose dye layers have failed — heavier casts, uneven staining, colour collapsed toward yellow-green. One is immature, the other is degraded.
Which to use
