  1. Ebay for both, though cherck the sellers background and see if they have any negative comments. If you don't want to buy something on Ebay you can also look in some antique shops or flea markets, thats alwyas a safe bet for old cameras. Film also.


  2. Check here:

    You will find what you like!

    Good luck!

  3. I have a number of them - all bought at either Goodwill or at flea markets.  Right now I have a Polaroid LandCamera 210, 215, 230, and 440.  All of them are in working condition.  They all use the peel-apart films, not the integral films (600, Spectra, etc) that most people think of when they think of Polaroid film.  They use Type 669 or compatible films.  They cost me $5-$10, and are generally in perfect working condition.

    One thing to think of is that while Polaroid has discontinued making the film for their cameras, Fuji has decided to make some replacements for a few of the film types.  I've not heard if Polaroid is going to replace 600 Film, I do know that they have a pack instant film to replace Type 669 film.  They have FP-100B (Black and White) and Type FP-100C (Color), both of which fit the cameras I presently have.  

    If you go the route of the Polaroid LandCameras that take Type 669 film, here are some links for things you will likely need:

    The LandCamera Type 100, 200, 300, and 400 Series require a battery, unlike the integral film Polaroids like 600.  Here's a link to the battery from Freestyle Photo:

    Here's the Fuji color film that I use for my camera - Type 669 compatible:

    Here's the Black and White 100 speed film Fuji Pack Film:

    And last but not least here's another Fuji Pack film that is black and white and is the replacement to Type 667 film (3000 ISO):

    If you have any other questions, just ask.  I also have notes about doing emulsion lifts with Polaroid Emulsion lifts here:

  5. Ebay has everything you can think of and at lower prices than anywhere often:

    Hope this helps.

  7. Try ebay or go to craigs list!

  8. Like a Polaroid? They still make and sell those like at Wal-Mart I've seen them in-store recently but I couldn't find it on their web site.

    Check out this link and I'm sure you can find it on eBay. Just search Polaroid Instant Camera

  9. There are several available on ebay.
