I agree 100%. I used to purchase my film from target, Best Buy or wherever I could find it. Had a couple of packs that legit were crap. I ended up calling Polaroid and asking what is up with their product and their film is $15 a box and I got a box that didn’t develop at all. From that point on I started ordering straight from Polaroid and I have not had a single problem since.

You need to understand that impossible / Polaroid film has been on a straight uphill Journey since it was first released. Every single pack you buy will be better than the last. Also, when you buy from the store, not only are the earlier versions, but they could be sitting there for who-knows-how-long. Always always always check the date. When you bought it does not matter only the use-by/born on date

Cool Jesus!! I actually made a vid about better Polaroids (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/obd1o6qWzM3LXac.html) The only thing I would add is based on my current experience with the 2020 formula (it seems like we are on a new, more stable chemistry) you should order from Polaroid, as I've had the best results going straight through them. I also think you should try to shoot the film as soon as possible- I think the longer it sits in your fridge, the more likely it will be to not develop properly. Or, did you mean composition stuff? Like not the performance of the film but rather creative ideas for the film itself?
@laika36604 жыл бұрын
@@SweetLouPhotography I watched that video, it was very informative! But yes, a bit more about the creative uses of the film.

Sorry, but I will write here what I truly think: I don't like the process the camera took from the very first i-Type camera until now because I don't see much except autofocus and a missing tripod adapter. I won't buy a new camera until they give me something mind blowing. Like a slr version or really insane good lenses or whatever. And you're right about the films. They're disappointing in that way though I like the colors more than the instax films colors.

I hate how we have to qualify any criticism we give Polaroid film. I've had VERY much the same issues you've had and more. I'm still curious how long it took for your film to develop - they're advertising 15 minutes atm, but when I shot it last year it was closer to 30. That alone holds up any portrait session - since you can't check your exposure or see what to expect in future shots. I LOVE this camera for long exposures, though.
