Polaroid I-2 exposure - Testing precision and accuracy, do you get badly exposed photos?

Polaroid just recently released the Polaroid I-2 camera. In the previous episode we had some issues using the camera and exposing out images accurately as they came out overexposed. As such, Prashanna joins us again on Modern Midlife’s, to help and see if we can increase the the number of properly exposed images with this camera. Since previously, we compared the i-2 camera to the Polaroid 680, this time we decided to bring along a Polaroid Now+ and Instax wide 300 and see if we can see any major difference. Also for the fun of it, we went ahead and checked the level of distortion on the new lens of the I-2 and the viewfinder coverage at close distances Did this video help you expose your instant images better?

In the previous write up I mentioned that I had some issues with the exposures natively metered by the I-2 camera. If left at 0 EV the camera always tended to overexpose the images. Many of you who have bought the camera and tried it also corroborated similar findings of overexposure. However, the replies on my initial post seemed a little strange as none of us had any real consensus on the level of exposure compensation that fixes the imprecise metering done by the camera. I recommended -1 , some mentioned -2/3 and others -1/3 EV. So which is correct? So my friend and I decided to test and see if we could come up with a guide to help others expose your Polaroid images better on the Polaroid I-2. There will be some of you who may be wondering why my friend and I are doing all this and what is up with this weird compulsion to test the camera further. The simple answer is, we love instant photography and we have nothing else better to do with our free time. Really nothing better to do. The TLDR (ATLEAST IN MY CAMERA) is, If you are exposing at the following stops:~ f8 / f11 use -1 EV ~ f16 / f22 / f32 use -2/3 EV ~ f45 / f64 use -1/3 This next part will sound a bit technical but I have tried my best to simplify it as best as I can. Therefore based on my results, I would advise you to underexpose by 1/3 a stop at the larger apertures (f8 and f11), keep at the externally metered value at the middle apertures (f16, f22, and f32) and overexpose the image by a third stop at the smaller apertures (f45 and f64). I suspect this lack of precision in exposure by the camera is causing a lot of us to have varying perspective on how much to compensate. I would love for those with the camera to pay attention to the aperture stops in the next few packs and see if their own findings corroborate with our tests or if we are just imagining. This is just a working theory, not sure what is causing this imprecision. By the way, the lens in the Now + is also great, in an ideal situation and focus distance, it's a hard fight to decide which one is better.
