Some rare Pola 4x5 buys on eBay
« on: March 28, 2011, 04:12:31 PM »
Not sure if anybody is interested. I am, but Im also broke. Just thought I'd post these here for anybody who might not have seen them. Prices and expiry dates were fair, in my estimation.  :)

Polaroid 59

Yes, I had seen them. For me the Pola 51 is clearly too expensive but the Pola 59, four boxes makes 80 shots, which around 3 dollars per shot, if you convert it to euros is kinda 2.3 euros per shot... not so bad. they just sold 40 sheets of POla 59 per 156$ I think, which is almos 4$ per shot.. Few weeks ago I fully realized the catastrophe of POlaroid disappearing and got kind of frenzy buying polaroid film. And yes I do not have a 4x5 but I AM BUYING 4x5 film. I have bought type 55, 53, Fuji 100b45, Fuji 3000b45 and now I badly want to buy POlaroid 59. But still no 4x5 camera  ;D

Carlos, I want that 59 so bad I can taste it!!! I just dont have the money and I just want to cry!  :'( 

You could probably find a 4x5 camera for the price of that film. Mine was cheaper actually. 200 I paid for mine but I had to buy some ground glass. That cost me 8 bucks.  ;D

I hope for fewer boxes because I'd get just one. I cant afford 4. Thanks for the heads up! Im going to go search now.

DARN! Its the same deal. On the prowl for single boxes now.  :)
