Impossible Frog Tongue for 600 Cameras
--------------------------------------
Impossible manufactures many different products that support our
customers' efforts to get the most out of instant analog
photography and their vintage Polaroid camera. Please view the
video above for essential tips on this item.
This newly designed accessory easily attaches to all box-type
Polaroid 600 and SX-70 cameras and automatically shields
Impossible instant photographs from light as they eject from the
camera. This nifty device greatly improves the results you can
achieve with the current Impossible instant films.
How to Use your Frog Tongue
---------------------------
The Frog Tongue is based on the existing sheet of plastic already
inside every 600 camera. Unlike the existing tongue, which snaps
back into the camera immediately, the Frog Tongue is physically
long enough to cover the image completely and stay in place until
the image is removed. Installation is extremely simple using the
included instruction sheet, or view the video above! Simply
remove the nameplate on your camera and replace the old tongue
with this new, longer one.
Once permanently installed, it allows stress-free shielding of
all Impossible films. You can choose to leave the image under the
Frog Tongue for the full 3-5 minutes, or transfer it quickly
after those critical first 30 seconds to a light-free area like a
pocket or bag.
Why do I need a Frog Tongue?
----------------------------
An excellent question! All Impossible films MUST be shielded from
light during the first 3-5 minutes of development, and most
critically in the first 30 seconds. This means no shaking please,
but straight into your pocket, box or bag, upside-down on a flat
surface, or any other light-free place.
This is required because the layer that Polaroid used to
shield the film cannot be exactly reproduced - the components are
simply no longer available. Impossible's team is working day and
night to find a new solution, but for now, images must be
protected from light.
