The cost of polaroid film

[KayJay]

Is it me or is it ridiculously expensive at the moment to buy film, type 600? On Amazon it's £30+ for a pack of 10 sheets. That's depressing.

I'm hoping someone knows where I can buy it for cheaper than that, much cheaper.

Hideously expensive on ebay too....

Don't Fuji do a cheaper equivelant you could use?

 

[KayJay]

Interesting. I'll look into it.

The film is more expensive than a second hand Polaroid camera ffs.

They stopped making it, and closed down the factory, so the current stock is finite until project impossible manage to get set up again...

Fuji factory's still open though

Wait and see what these guys come up with, I've got my fingers crossed.

Just like inkjet printers these days when you think about it. You can buy a printer for £50 but then spend £80 filling it with ink.

Not had a chance to try it yet I'm afriad, not taken anything worth making a print of but intend to change that in the next month.

thought they were coming back soon? http://www.savethepolaroid.com/

It is, but for now prices remain inflated because it's not back in production yet. I might be wrong though.

Try these guys. The single packs of 600 film (10 shots) are only £19.95
