hello all,

i wonder if you may be able to help. i have a vintage themed event coming up soon and i need some polariod type instant cameras. i've seen loads of series 600 cameras going quite cheaply on ebay but it's the film that's a killer at about £1 per print. i'll be needing about 100 prints.

i've done a bit of research and seen some fuji film that's about 50p per print but then there's the problem of trying to get a polariod land camera to match (i don't know anything about this and i was researching late last night).

could anyone shed any light on what may be the headset way to get 100 prints from a retro vintage style polaroid type camera?

thanks guys and gals

The issue with Polaroid film is that most companies who originally produced the film have now largely discontinued making it.

Poladroid any use?

I've run things through Instagram as another way to process if thats any use and it's fine with the licence t's and c's for commercial purposes
