Instant Films - Packfilm

Here are the films that are still available from various sources. NO POLAROID FILMS are currently being manufactured, but expired and well taken care of can still give you results.

Up to and over 10 years expired film can still give you almost perfect results. Do not be afraid to buy and shoot old pack films!

Packfilm comes in two basic types:

Rectangular (100/660)

4.25 x 3.375 (image area: 3.75 x 2.875)

Still being made by Fuji films, and there is alot out there not yet expired from Polaroid. Most packfilm cameras and backs are this type. Because you can't put a rectangle into a square hole, this film will only fit into cameras not specifically made for square packfilm. Which most are anyway.

Square (80)

3.25 x 3.375 (image area: 2.75 x 2.875)

Discontinued but can still be found.

It can be used in most packfilm camera or packfilm back. Only a couple cameras, noted here, take this film exclusively.

100/660 Series All of the following films are 4.25 x 3.375 (image area: 3.75 x 2.875) peel-apart type.
	FP-100C Specs: Film Speed: ISO 100 Self-terminating. Tips & Tricks Similar to Polaroid 669/690 Is not very easy to use for image transfer, but can be done.	FP-3000B Specs: Film Speed: ISO 3000 VERY fast development time. Self-terminating. Tips & Tricks Similar to Polaroid 667 Very little grain for the high ISO.
All films below have been discontinued.
125i Specs: Film Speed: ISO 125 Comes in packs of 22 Bright whites for 'office use' Tips & Tricks The extra two photos in these packs is a nice touch.	664 Specs: Film Speed: ISO 100 Fine-grain, coaterless, black & white prints Tips & Tricks Similar to Fuji FP-100B Because most automatic packfilm camera's Color setting is for ISO 75, you need to turn the lighten/darken dial towards darken.	665 Specs: Film Speed: ISO 80 Produces both a positive print and a reusable negative. Prints require coating, negative requires clearing/washing. Tips & Tricks This is really interesting/fun stuff to work with. It's very high in quality, and is probably about the cheapest/easiest way to produce the occasional big negative.	667 Specs: Film Speed: ISO 3000 Fine-grain, coaterless, black & white prints Tips & Tricks Similar to Fuji FP-3000B The highest ISO you'll find. Shoot indoors without a flash in most situations.
669 (108) Specs: Film Speed: ISO 80 Vivid colors and extended dynamic range Tips & Tricks Similar to Fuji FP-100C The best film for doing emulsion lifts and image transfers. Also called 108 during same production time as 669. Heavy cyan/blue shift when shot without a flash or outside.	690 Specs: Film Speed: ISO 100 First film to be self-terminating. After peeling film is virtually dry. Tips & Tricks Similar to Fuji FP-100C Has a much more yellow-hue than 669.	ID-UV Specs: Film Speed: ISO 80 Security design printed in ultraviolet ink, visible only when viewed by an ultraviolet light source. Tips & Tricks Similar to Fuji FP-100C Same as 669 film basically. Without a black-light you'd never really be able to tell the difference.	FP-100B Specs: Film Speed: ISO 100 Self-terminating. Fine-grain with rich gradation. Tips & Tricks Similar to Polaroid 664 Contrasty in the right situations.

80 Series All of the following films are 3.25 x 3.375 (image area: 2.75 x 2.875) peel-apart type. Not all rigid body packfilm cameras will fit 80-square films easily, but folding will.
Viva Specs: Film Speed: ISO 80 Medium-contrast, medium-grain, general-purpose color print film Tips & Tricks Saturated colors, hence the name...	Choco80 Specs: Film Speed: ISO 80 Medium-contrast coaterless, Chocolate prints Tips & Tricks This film has a beautiful texture.	Polaroid made a bunch of square versions of the above rectangular films. But they were discontinued first and as such are more rare than they need to be. For a list of these films, see the Optional Land List instead.
