Team, I have a Polaroid Joycam which I love using. When 500 film went the way of the dodo several years ago I had about 10 packs in the film fridge and I've sued them sparingly over the years. Most recently I shot one pack last summer which turned out just fine:
Roll forward to this Spring when I decided to waste another pack of film and imagine my dismay when I ran into problems. No matter what I did the print won't eject after I've shot it. I tried two packs of film in the same camera and got the problem both times. I then bought another Joycam on evilBay (they go for virtually nothing) and had the same problem again. I even got some more film with the second camera and that wouldn't eject either.
Weird.2 different cameras, 3 different packs of film. 1 problem.
Did Polaroid build into the design on the Joycam a self-destruct feature which means that no cameras will properly eject film after 2011?
Anyone experienced this with a Joycam and work out how to fix it? There's nothing obviously wrong with the mechanism or the film.
