@MrDstankovich SAdly, there is no film for any of the Kodak instant cameras. (Google Polaroid vs Kodak to read the big story about the Kodak infringement case.) There is only one brand of new, fresh film made for Polaroid SX-70 and 600 cameras. Google "The Impossible Project."

I am now surfing on your page (impossible-project) and I don't know what film to choose. I have a Polaroid 600 Land Camera Autofocus 640. what film is better for this model?

@kesykess Hi. Visit The Impossible Project. You want PX-600 (bw film) or PX680 (color film). Enjoy shooting!

Polaroid 667 is BW instant film for Polaroid 100 series "pack cameras."

Cameras that use this film...See this vids: "How to use a Polaroid Colorpack Camera " and "Polaroid Land 100 Series Camera - Comprehensive Crash Course "

Sounds like the film is unusable. Open it up and check it out. Discard if any sign of chemical leak.

It's so sad that this film is no longer for sale. It's great stuff. I have pictures that my mom took over 30 years ago that still look great. It was fun, convenient and fun!

Technological advances are good but they kill off other good things. Bring it back!

@katiemilker They will be gone forever if you haven't protected them, but if you print them out then you are good to go. Any type of electronic media even if not subjected to some sort of EMP type device, will eventually fail which sucks, I know I've had it happen several times, and it will generally always be when you were trying to back up the data.

I love the old Polaroid Camera just find it comical that the film costs more than the camera.

Another way to test cameras that you pickup is to put the black slide back into the empty pack so that you can test whether it actually ejects the film.

I love the Polaroid, it was so simple to use and I shot thousands of pictures with it. which are still in perfect condition in my photo album, everyone is so gravitated towards digital these days but if the world does have a pole shift or someone use's a EMP device in war, all our digital photo's will be gone forever, but my Polaroid's will still be safe in their album lol.

I still have my camera and will never sell it, not for any price.

Polaroid rocks.
