Spectra Pro/Minolta Instant Pro will do up to 5 per!
Or just get any old packfilm cameras. They're as easy as recocking the shutter.

is this what you are talking about?
cgi.ebay.com/Minolta-Instant-Pro-Camera-Spectra-Film_W0QQ...
how does it work? it looks like any other polaroid. can you just keep shooting and then press a release button to spit out the polaroid or somthing?

It actually has a LCD display on the back with a lot of options, one of which is multiple exposure. You set it to take however many exposures you want, and press the shutter button for each exposure. When you've taken them all, it ejects the film.
You can also set a timer between each shot, to take multiple-self-portraits easily.
It's a fun camera. I'd use it more if I could get better deals on the film.

Whoever wants to start the collection so that I can get me a SpectrPro, I'm not stopping you.
I can't buy any more cameras after the 680 I just bought turned out to not work so well...
I've seen some results of their double exposures and they are great.

I have just started using my 1200si to do double exposures.
you use the self timer for the first exposure then close the camera before turning the self timer off (if you turn off the self timer before closing the camera the roid will eject)
then open the camera and do your second exposre as normal.

Remember, Folks: The batteries that come in your standard Polaroid film packs are designed to provide (at the minimum) enough juice to expose, flash, and eject the the standard number of pictures in each pack. You can usually get away with double-exposing each film, but if you do much more (triple, quadruple exposures, etc) you'll definitely notice the camera struggling by the end of the pack -- if you get that far!
I love -- nay, I covet -- my 636DE and my Minolta SpectraPro, but I admit I've also become "quite good" at performing emergency film transplants in the past few years.

I love some of the results, but I was disappointed when I did it w/ my Spectra...it was fun and exciting for a minute then the novelty wore off...I guess it's just not my bag. But who am I to say...

ive done double exposures with my Spectra. i dont think its possible to do double with 600s. im surprised about the Joycams, although ive known people with Joycams and they've complained about incomplete developements and wasted film.

Just found this brilliant tip on SX-70 double exposure by Buzz and I think you guys might be interested. The tip should work perfectly as long as you do the darkroom part right. I tried it but did not get it right and ended up wasting two pictures. I guess the tip should also work with 600 series cameras theoretically if it works on SX-70.
_____________________________________
Years ago I figured out how to get double exposures. Great for "Virgin Mary" appearances, etc. Works for sure on Alpha-1's.
1. Take any old sx-70 picture you do not want and cut just the picture out with a razor blade, leaving the bottom and white edges intact.
2. Keep the black cardboard cover thet is ejected when loading a new film pack.
3. After taking at least one picture from a fresh pack (you need the room in the film pack), take the camera and the black cardboard into a totally dark room.
4. In the dark room:
- remove the film pack,
- carefully depress the film pack down and insert the previously cut out picture,
- carefully insert the black cardboard cover and reinsert the film pack,
- the black cardboard will eject. You can leave the dark room now.
5. Take the first exposure. The cutout picture will be ejected. The next picture will have been exposed and still be in the film pack.
6. Take the second exposure. The camera will eject the double-exposed picture.
I don't know if this works with other film packs, but is probably worth a try.

I have a question that I hope someone can help me with. My dad had a Polaroid camera of some sort in 1961 and took a picture of me. It was the type of camera where you had to peel a backing off and then wait 60 seconds for the black and white picture to develop. There are several images (see through) that appeared on the third picture on the roll. The images are very clear, though transparent. Does anyone have any idea how that might have happened?

that photo was probably double (or multiple) exposed. with the packfilm cameras, all you have to do is cock the shutter and fire as many times as you want. i have double exposed on accident before (which is probably what happened to your dad's photo).
when doing multiple exposures, sometimes the successive exposures appear lighter (and sometimes transparent) than the original.

I have a polaroid 600 camera that I get double exposures out of but it's a complete fluke...
...sometimes it just doesn't spit the picture out, and then you can snap it again and get a double exposure ;)

Interesting! Thanks for the insight. That would mean that my dad would have had to take pictures of all of the different things in the picture separately, and there are many, to get that effect? Is there any way to tell if that has been done?

hey,
just wanna tell you that the double-exposure-thing with the sx70 really works..! :)
two examples:
insert the "double-exposure-frame" in the "darkroom" (my darkroom was my bathroom..) maybe is a little bit tricky at the beginning. but as soon as you get used to the dark it´s absolutely no problem.. ;)
one thing which wasn´t mentioned yet is, that you should underexpose both of your pictures!! i screwed the wheel to completely dark..!
and i think if you don´t make 10 triple exposures or something like that, your film-battery could do that... i´ve once took 20 polas with one battery. so. absolutely no problem! ;)
and now. have fun trying it! :)

ah, i tried it again these days.. and the frame came out together with the black card. i think it´s because the film-casette was nearly full (round 8 polas or something like this..) does somebody have an other explanation for this?

i have used the same method as you vikihae, and i haven't had that happen to me. maybe the "frame" wasn't pushed in all the way?
i took this one with 7 polas left in the cartridge...

i was recently messing with this and found it works well to cut the back out of a polaroid, leaving the plastic window. when i cut out the entire square, the edges would get caught while ejecting.

yes, you just have to hold the shutter release button down so that the photo doesn't eject. then shut the camera (while holding the button). this will make the camera "forget" about the the first exposure. set your camera to darken...

it is possible to try this with a Polaroid 600One Pro?
the model is too new, isn't it? i was thinking of trying different things i have read about doble exposures with other models in a expired film i have... but just wondering if someone has already try...
(sorry for my english... i know it sucks)

I have a question.
If you take photos on a Polaroid, and then put those photos back into the camera, and take photos, will that work? Or will that ruin the camera somehow?
Posted 40 months ago.

You would have to disable the eject mechanism somehow, because once it's gone through the rollers and developed there's no going back - you can't make a second exposure on top of that one.
So as long as you can take a photo, stop it from ejecting, then take another one and eject it it's fine. There's no easy way of doing this on the 600-series polaroids. You can do it on Spectra Polaroid cameras (google or search the group archives for instructions).

I don't really get it.
Sorry. I don't know much about Polaroids yet. Have never used one. Will hopefully be buying one within the next week or so.
From what I understand, to use a Polaroid, basically, you put a packet of film in, and then take photos. Right? So then, what if, when that packet of film ran out, and you needed to fill it back up with film again, you filled it with film that you've already used, and therefore have images on them, and you take photos. Therefore, each picture would come out with 2 images on it.
Does that make sense?
Now, would that somehow damage the camera?

You should probably wait til you actually get a Polaroid because it's much easier to understand by doing than by someone else explaining it. Like real life you know? :)
Polaroid film comes in little plastic cartridges. You don't need to refill them, but rather you buy more film in more cartridges.
When you take a polaroid photo, the image gets exposed on the film, then a motor (powered by batteries in each cartridge) pushes out the film individually which then goes through rollers. These rollers squeeze out the chemicals in a pod at the bottom of the photo (which is why Polaroid film has that wide edge on the bottom - it's where all the chemicals are kept), and the chemicals react with the chemicals in the film, resulting in a developed image.
When the film is finished you are left with a bunch of images that are already DEVELOPED, which means you can't make any more exposures on top of them. Sure, you can fit them back into an empty cartridge (in fact, that's what you do when you have a cartridge with unexposed film but the battery is flat - you put them in another cartridge which you know has a working battery), but there would be no point.
The only exception is if you figure out how to bypass the developing part of it - where the picture gets ejected. Some of the posts above explain it, but seeing as you don't actually have a polaroid it's just going to complicate things. Simple explanation is that it's much easier to make double exposures like how you're saying by using conventional film in an old camera where the winding-on of film is manual (ie no auto advance, as in many modern cameras from the past thirty years or so). It's also easy in a Polaroid Spectra (google or search the archives here and in the Polaroid group, some of the posts above also explain it).
Does that make sense now? Seriously, it'd be much easier to actually use one before asking questions like this, because it makes much more sense when you start working with them. Also it helps if you actually read some of the responses above!

the only way to do it with a one step is to use the "polaroid frame" method described above.

i have taken a few double exposures on standard 600 polaroids, first method works best
just leave the film cartridge door open and shoot, the image will be pushed out a little push it back in as far as possible, then shoot again with door closed and you get your image
(with my camera this is tricky as i have to have the "door" at an exact angle but on another version of my camera it worked at any angle, also make sure you push the shot back in after the first shot or else two polaroids come out and this seems to stop the chemicals spreading correctly leave nasty brown areas)
the second method i tried was to shoot then quickly open the cartridge door before the rollers have a chance to grab the polaroid, then repeat the pushing in part, this was easier with my camera but unfortunatly this can lead to light leaks i got some horendous ones

I haven't tried this method with my SX-70 (not sure if it'll work) but with my OneStep it works fine. It's pretty simple, really- just have the door to the film cartridge open and shoot as many shots as you'd like. When you want to eject/develop the film, just close the door, take a last shot (or just cover the lens completely and hit the shutter button if you don't want to take any more) and it'll pass the film through the rollers.

I have a Polaroid Supercolor 635CL. I want to try double exposures, would it work well if i tried to insert the film right after being ejected and shooted again?
