Hope you have better luck, the pack (PX shade something) I had recently just jammed up in my camera...

Sent back to IP and they gave me a 20 euro credit on their site... Just thought I'd give you the heads up fella..

oooh awesome, how much you nab it for?

I am waiting for the day I find one in a charity shop or at a car boot! I bought mine of ebay untested for £30. had no problems so far, (it is the model 2 plastic one)

Ive had no problems with the TIP film (apart from the image fading with the earlier types of film, its much better now)

These are my two most successful shots with it so far

I keep meaning to check the use by date - must be close/past given its going cheap.

The only time ive used it before the image lasted a few months....if that

Thought it try it again, hoping they get thier sh*t together soon as my 600 stockpile is running low.
