polaroid/fuji compatability
« on: May 08, 2007, 05:43:13 PM »
are there any fuji films that can work in polaroid cameras that use 600 film? i recently saw a bunch of fuji film at a flea market and it got me to wondering if it was something i should be picking up.

Not that I am aware... But, I may be wrong of course.

Unfortunately, the integral Fuji stuff can only be used in a Fuji camera. Still, the possibility of hacking something could be investigated... One of the issues would be Fuji Film integral cameras are just so different from Polaroid integral cameras - they appear to have very little construction-wise in common.

Second-hand Fuji integral cameras can be as cheap as Polaroid too.

i bought an instax camera mainly due to the fact that cost of the film is half that of polaroid stuff. It was a novelty but it lacks the charm of polaroid film in my opinion,  i only use it now for fun, days out, drunken nights and so on, i have struggled to get anything more artistic out of it.
