was just about to order some but realised they dont take paypal, will have to wait til my wages go in! cheers for the heads up though. i have a hungry new Polaroid 100 courtesy of Mr Raso of the Film photography podcast that needs taking out for dinner. my mamiya is chomping at the bit too, its nice to get ten shots out of it and have no processing costs :-)

thanks matt - have some bagged now!

i wonder how does the instant film react after it "expires" ?

Fujifilm seems to expire pretty well, as in it stays pretty true to how it is when new. I have some expired from 2007 which is fine. Although some may not like it as it doesn't have the dreamy expired Polaroid qualities. Defo worth grabbing some I think if cash allows.

yeah i have no experience of this stuff expired, but a cant imagine it being the same as polacolor. anyway got my modest 3 packs on the way (2 glossy, 1 silk, I like the silk but not sure about the odd pattern you see when scanned) can't wait to do some paper transfers onto my textured paper leather bound lyric book :-)

Cheers, Chalky. Good call.

I wish I had some money at the moment, but times are tight so I've gone for 5 instead of the 10-20 that i would dearly love to buy.

As mentioned above, if you're going to be scanning the prints, I would steer clear of the silk finish and stay with the gloss. same is true for transfers too actually.
