Using Contrast Filters with Polaroid SX-70 Black and White Film

Polaroid Black and White integral film for SX-70 cameras has become a favourite of mine. I love the deep blacks and crisp whites of this contrasty film yet it still captures a good range of subtle mid-tones. As opposed to colour SX-70 films, which often have pink highlights among other odd tonal shifts, the black and white films have a consistent, reliable tone. Right out of the camera, the images have a neutral tone but, over several hours or days, the tones warm up. Not to an over-the-top sepia tone but a subtle warm quality that adds depth to the picture. Lastly, Polaroid monochrome films develop faster than their colour cousins; images can be evaluated in five minutes compared to fifteen minutes for colour. It just makes the Polaroid workflow that much more enjoyable. Coming from a black and white film background, I am well-acquainted with the use of black and white filters to enhance the tonal rendition of monochrome negatives and prints. And that technique works equally well with Polaroid black and white integral films. Here’s the theory: if a black and white filter—which is actually a solid colour filter, either yellow, orange, red, green or blue—is placed over the lens when using a black and white panchromatic film, it will pass through light that is the same colour as the filter, thus lightening that colour in the final print, and absorb light that is the complementary colour, thus rendering it darker in print. The net effect is an increase in contrast.
