the camera is called polaroid super colorpack land camera.. no numbers or anything thats why i wanna make sure if i can use fujifilm 100c with it cos last time i almost bought a super shooter 2 and lucky someone told me that i can't use fujifilm 100c with it so i did not buy it.. i have the colorpack II and it's almost same looks.. the only diipfference was, the super colorpack land camera as a built-in timer.. so what do you think?
@jan3019 You don't specify which model you have (Colorpack,II,III,IV,V), but according to the Land List, these cameras should have settings for both 75 (FP-100c) and 3000 (FP-100B) speed films.
@LadyTreefrog I'm not familiar with that particular model, but if the FP100 filmpack is too long, then it probably takes the shorter Type 80 films, which are no longer made. There were a couple of models that could do both, but I'm not sure how the conversion was done. Take a look, there may be a removable insert.
aww im so dissapointed, i have a colorpack 80 & just found out that it doesnt take the FP-100c , which colorpack cameras do? Also, is nothing else available for my colorpack 80?
These plastic body Polaroid cameras also take the Fuji Packfilms:
All plastic Body:
Big Swinger, Colorpack II, Colorpack III, BigShot, Colorpack IV,Colorpack M6, Colorpack V, Minutemaker, Minutemaker Plus, Super Colorpack, Super Shooter.
@harliquin10 I'm not quite sure what you mean. I haven't tried using the Fuji film, but have recently purchased some FP100-B and FP100-C to try out in my cameras. I will see if there is any major differences in the Fuji film versus the old Polaroid films.
@harliquin10 If your film isn't in it's original foil packaging, and doesn't have the paper dark-slide, it has been loaded and removed from a camera. It may still be usuable, but usually, if it's just been knocking about, the negatives will have been flashed or exposed to light. Depending on how old the film is, the developing chemicals in the pods in the film may have leaked or be dried out. The only way to know for sure, is to try it out.
I bought a working polaroid 88 for 5€, exact like yours!!, I was soooo so happy, I knew that polaroid 88 films were discontinued, but is there a similar that works with that camera?
I've bought a fuji FP- 100c, but it doesin't fit :( it's just some mm longer!!

@rafaumtgavioli The Polaroid 88 film is the square format peel-apart film. As far as I know, fuji only makes the rectangular 3.25x4.24" film. To get a working Polaroid camera, you will have to find one that uses the rectangular format film.
@MrBubBa13 The clincher should handle the new Fuji pack films. As 1L6E6VHF noted in the comment below, make sure the film speed of the camera's selector switch matches the speed of the film put in the camera.
Great tutorial! One important that might not be obvious to those new to peel-apart Polaroids:
The film speed selector switch (on this camera, above the lens) must be set to agree with the film. "75" ("COLOR" on older cameras) for FP-100b or FP-100c, "3000" ("B&W") for FP-3000B.
omg, that sooo much more less complicated than i thought, the instructions made it seem impossible, haha in fact using the orginal instructions i trashed 3 rolls of film (they were the orginal polaroid film, im such a retard!!) and I just used one roll after watching this tut :)
Excellent, thanks very much. But you're wrong about the batteries - they're to power the shutter release (and not the flash unit, which is mechanical). I know this because I have a Colorpak II in which battery acid has leaked onto the contacts and ruined them . Hence no batteries will work in the camera and, as a result, pressing the shutter release makes a good click, it DOES fire the flash (I wasted a flash unit this way), but it won't expose the film, because the shutter never opens.
just got a holgaroid, and it's my first ever polaroid camera, thanks soo much for the video, i would have tried to put the black protective sheet through the roller if i didn't watch this!
Polaroid no longer makes film, but Fujifilm makes replacement film that will work. Look for Fujifilm FP-100-C (color) or FP-3000 (bw). BH Photo Video or Freestyle Photo Supply carries it.
Nice camera! I used to own a Square Shooter 2 (back when you could go into a Walmart and buy Type 88 film for it off the shelf.) Those were the days....
Polaroid is leaving the film business at the end of 2008, but don't worry. Fujifilm has licensed the technology, and will continue to make packfilm that will work in these cameras. Look for Fuji FP-100B (bw film) or FP-100C (color film).
