The Polaroid 600 Pepsi is a classic instant camera. The edition was designed by the American company Retrospekt and was presented in collaboration with Pepsi.
The edition is a version of the original Polaroid One Step Flash. The models were redesigned and tested for their functionality. Then they were given a special exterior.
As the keyword Pepsi suggests, it is a camera in the typical blue of the American company. The front is also adorned with the logo and name of the beverage manufacturer.
The camera is equipped with a fixed lens. It has no zoom, and the focal length cannot be changed. There is also no focus adjustment option. The built-in light meter takes care of the exposure settings. They can be changed somewhat with the brightness/darkness slider on the front.
These limitations in the setting options naturally make for easy operation. Thus, you can take pictures with the camera yourself after a short instruction. Therefore, it is ideal for weddings and parties.
The built-in flash provides sufficient light for photos. It triggers automatically. However, it can also be switched off if you only press the rear part of the shutter button when taking a picture.
The camera and flash are powered by a battery in the film cassette. So the battery is replaced every time you change the film. You don't need an extra battery to take pictures.
Films for the Polaroid 600 Pepsi
The appropriate films for the Polaroid 600 Pepsi are offered again and freshly produced. So there is even a small selection to choose from. There are films for black and white and color pictures. The film for color pictures is the Polaroid Color Film for 600*. For monochrome pictures with the instant camera you need the Polaroid B&W Film for 600*.
There are eight photos in one pack of the film. After the pictures are used up, a new film must be inserted. No film material is included in the delivery. The development time is between five and fifteen minutes, depending on the film. Shaking the pictures does not speed up the development time.
Pepsi was developed in 1893 and first sold under the name "Brad's Drink." It wasn't until five years later that the drink was renamed Pepsi-Cola. In its 100-year history, the drink has become one of the most popular cola soft drinks. However, a can of Pepsi is not included with the camera.
This is not the first Polaroid camera with Pepsi branding. In the past, there was already the Polaroid Spirit 600 Pepsi.
