Where to buy Polaroid Pack Film

    I will shortly need to buy Polaroid or Fujifilm packfilm; the only one I can find commercially available in Dublin is Fujifilm FP100C - the price I was quoted was 25,99 euros, as opposed to £7.95 in a photographic shop in Britain for the same 10 pack. Obviously I will not be able to afford to use my camera at Irish prices. Does anyone know of a good, reliable and honest online firm selling this film, in the UK I suppose, as I doubt I'll find it in Ireland. I am constantly being told that Polaroid is finished, so is film, digital is the thing - well, I've had digital and it's not photography, it's computer fiddling, in my opinion, and I don't want it. I want a picture I can take and see and enjoy. I want Polaroid! Or Fujifilm instant! I would be glad to hear from anyone who can help! And sorry if I hurt anybody's feelings re. digital.:(

    Well thats

    Polaroid is pretty much obsolete since digicams came out

    But I agree, its nice to have instant photos, esp if your at a party with many friends u dont see too often

    the best place I know off the top of me head is www.ebay.co.uk

    also, try www.ciao.co.uk

    Ciao is a web-shop search and will find u good deals

    Good luck :)

    Thank you, Beano. And I also found a place in the UK called Mathers of Lancashire. Things are not as bad as it seemed :)

    Hey there all,

    Can some please let me know if I can use Fuji film in a Polaroid camera (sorry for stupid question, complete novice to cameras/photography)?

    It's just that I have recently come across and old Polaroid camera in my attic and I want to start using it again.

    Okay, appreciate anything info you've got.

    Cheers.

    Which Polaroid camera is it?

    There's different series of film and cameras.

    Some specifics as to what the camera is might help ...

    Hi a similar question (before I pick it up from a charity shop beside my flat) its an instant 10, which is apparently similar to an EE33, which is apparently similar to a "square shooter 2".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,624 ✭✭✭✭Fajitas!


    Fuji are beginning to bring in some replacements. May well be worth checking out.

    Any photos of the camera? Might be easier to work out which format it is.

    thats the one, its not using those packs of film that come with the batteries built in (have one of those 600 ones, really expensive packs).
    ok as far as I can work out it uses
    80-Series Land Pack Films (3 1/4" x 3 3/8) which seem to be completely gone

    Aha, nice one.

    Check out www.unsaleable.com - they often get some deadstock in. Not cheap, mind.

    I also think you can convert 80-series cameras to take the slightly more common 669 etc series - If you do, you can use Fuji instant stock too.
