Easily my favorite film to use. It comes out so clear and I love how it works with the original Polaroid camera. Appreciate Best Buy for having this film for such an affordable price it’s usually hard to find film especially for older cameras. I’ve been buying this film from Best Buy for the past 5 years! You will not be disappointed:)

I love Polaroid film, but I’ll be the first to admit it’s hard to justify how expensive it’s become. It used to feel fun and casual, something you’d shoot without thinking too much about it. Now, every time you press the shutter, you’re mentally doing math.
The experience is still special, though. Watching the image slowly come up in your hand never gets old, and the look is something digital still can’t really fake. The colors aren’t perfect, the exposure can be weird, and sometimes the photo doesn’t come out how you imagined but that’s kind of the point. It feels real in a way that polished digital photos don’t.
That being said, the price definitely changes how you shoot. You don’t experiment as much. You hesitate. You wait for the “right” moment because each shot costs real money, and that takes some of the carefree fun out of it. When you think about how affordable film used to be, it’s hard not to feel like today’s prices are a little out of touch.
There are cheaper instant options out there, but they don’t really replace Polaroid. They look cleaner, sharper, and more consistent which is exactly why they don’t hit the same. Polaroid has a certain mood to it that you’re either chasing or you’re not, and if you are, there’s no real substitute.
At the end of the day, Polaroid film feels more like a treat now than an everyday thing. I don’t shoot it casually anymore I save it for moments I actually care about. I still enjoy it, but I’m a lot more selective, and honestly, that’s probably the trade-off you make if you want that specific look and experience.

A little flash back in time, the Polaroid 600 film works just like you remember. Easy to understand installation, and who doesn’t love the instant gratification of holding your physical picture right after you take it. Exposure takes about 15-20 minutes to complete, and it is recommended that you keep the picture in a dark place as it is developing (back pocket or purse works great).

Worked on 30+ year-old Polaroid Impulse. Quality is as expected. Expensive for only 8 prints and the camera counter reads up to 10, which makes one have to remember that when the counter reads 2, it means 0 prints left.

The film cracks even with softest touch. No problem with Best Buy just a problem with the design. It works in my older green Polaroid camera but it cracks so easily! I really hope Polaroid fixes the formula or a way to prevent the film from cracking since it is expensive for film. Do not wave the film!! I do like the lil tips that come on the package though and it is easy to use.

WORKS JUST LIKE I remember it from back when (70's) except no stinky sealer and takes a little longer to develop and its color.
i acquired a second-hand executive and it's been fun using a polaroid again. The film quality is very good, i believe the exposure needs work, but im still playing with the camera. It's easier to use than the Swinger cartridges were.

One pack of the polaroid film had two photos get jammed--not sure if that was the fault of the film or the camera. Regardless this stuff is way too expensive and it's unfortunate I still have to purchase it. Not to mention the fact packs used to come with 10 photos and that's dropped down to 8...
