Thanks for the mod, I did it to my Polaroid 1000 Model, but the picture came out really over exposed. Here's the picture

Can you help?

did you adjust the light/dark feature to compensate for bright sun? tell me what the setting was at in this pic as to better analyze the results. joe

I had the exposure set in the middle. Jack

Hmmm, strange. Did you try a shot in intermediate light? I just duplicated your shot under bright conditions at neutral light/dark setting and did see a need to adjust it darker for better results, which is common, modified or not. Try a different setting relevant to bright conditions. Dark environ requires a lighter setting and bright environs require a darker setting.
If it persists, i would check to see if you rotated the gear fully, counter clockwise, until it hits the stop.
Please let me know the results. Initially it seems to just need normal setting adjustment according to light conditions. Joe

PS. i just duplicated the same scene with a slr680se with identical results, indicating it is just a user adjust for light conditions. Do let me know.
