Question

I love polaroid pictures and I was wondering if you can still buy them and if so where. And how much does it cost plus link to the best cheapest selling website please. Also I was wondering how much does it cost to reload the camera with the polaroid paper? Thanks for your time I hope you can help me out. =]

Answer 1

That largely depends on which Polaroid Cameras you're talking about.  The above were correct, Polaroid's stopped production of all film products leaving few substitutes.  Fuji has a compatible pack film for Type 669 sized cameras and 4x5'' formats (I've played with the Type 669 replacements and they're really nice - even higher quality dare I say than Polaroid and easier to work with on emulsion lifts...).

Unfortunately, Fuji has no plans as far as I know to make replacements for the Type 600 and Spectra films.  

I have a number of old Polaroid Cameras - I presently have a Polaroid LandCamera 210, 215, 230, and 440 as well as a Polaroid MinuteMaker.  All of these use the type 669 films.  Given Fuji has incuded in a press release that they are committed to continuing to support the Type 669 style FP-100C for the artists and other professionals who use them, you may want to get one of the above.  I know the LandCamera 100/200/300/400 series all work with the 669 format.  I got all of my Polaroid Cameras for between $3-$10 at thrift stores.  I usually see plenty of the 600 cameras at the thrift stores as well.

Here's a link for the batteries you'd need (unlike the 600 film, 669 and FP-100C do not have the batteries in the film itself):

And this is the film - FP-100C:

I hope this at least sort of helps!
