Oh wow, just re-discovered the joy of shooting Polaroids (using Fuji film). Take the photo, and three minutes later, I have a photo in my hands.

The camera is a Crown Graphic, with a Polaroid back, loaded with Fuji FP100C.

Oh what fun !!!!!

It's like magic!

I loved it too when I was only paying less than $2.00 per shot...I used the last of my Polaroid film recently but nothing developed due to it being too old...I still have my Polaroid Film back...not sure if I'll ever use it again...

It still fascinates people when you hand them a print a minute after taking their photo. The Fuji film has a great look too.

FP-100C can be had for $8 pack (80c per frame) on Amazon.com. Sad to say, that situation probably won't last too long, seeing the demise of all the other Fuji instant film in the last couple of years…. enjoy them while they last, I guess.

B&H Has it for 7.95 a pack, for 10 frames. Buy it in bulk and you're set! I buy 20-30 boxes at a time and it lasts about 2 months. I enjoyed it so much I've been selling some of my other gear and buying fancy Polaroid cameras. There's really nothing like it. It makes me want to shoot 8x10!

Actually someone just took my picture at a local festival with a Fuji Instax 210 and Fuji 100C. Beautiful skin tones. I was like a kid again seeing the image develop before my eyes.

I didn't even know about the Fuji Instax line, but its really cool and the body is only like ~$100!!! Talk about value! It is pretty big honking thing, but man its instant!

There is no greater photo-buzz on Earth than pulling off an 8x10 sheet of Polaroid Film.

I have six Hasselblad Polaroid backs loaded with all the Fuji emulsions, it is so much FUN to peel 'em off 😀😀😀

And recently I have been shooting 9x9cm Polaroids on some expired 52 Polaroid I need to use up, I still have 100 sheets. I do that with my Plaubel Makiflexes. What a Hoot!

Agreed. I normally shoot MF and m43 digital, but I decided to take my Polaroid 195 on a road trip to NOLA last weekend. When I saw an interesting shot I did a "1 for you, 1 for me" transaction with the subject. I was very happy with the results and it was SOOOO Much fun. When I get them scanned I'll post some here.
