Polaroid Film

[etain.livejournal.com]

I have one of those polaroid instant cameras. According to the camera, it's a one600. I am looking for film for it. I know I could get some off the internet (if I could figure out which kind I need), but I am hoping there is somewhere in town I can pick some up.

Any ideas?

Most film is expired by now, but expired film will give you some pretty great color artifacts.

Unfortunately, Polaroid stopped producing film for that camera in 2008; local pickup is extremely unlikely.

There's a group called The Impossible Project which still makes sepia-tone film for 600 cameras, but I've never actually seen any for sale in a store anywhere.

I saw someone a couple years ago using Fuji film in his Polaroid; I guess they make some compatible film. That's probably not very helpful, though.

As Srakkt indicated, the impossible project makes it for purchase.

It's CRAZY expensive, though.

Yeah, fuji makes film for it. I was hoping somewhere local sold some.

I'd be curious to know which; while Fuji is still making instant film that works for many Polaroid applications, I thought One600 users were out of luck.

Anyway, if you want anything in the current Fuji lineup, Calumet Photo in east Cambridge should either have it in the fridge or be able to get it within a day or two. (They definitely sell it in general and I have bought other varieties there; while film photography is in some ways trailing-edge, I think it's pretty much bottomed out and Calumet seems to keep stocking regardless. Speaking of which, I just sent my last Kodachrome to the lab today. sniff.)
