    They’re a lot of fun if you can get the film. Some company reverse engineered it and then went out of business, but I think there are still options if you’re willing to pay $2 a photo.

      Polaroid is making a comeback. You can get film in Walmart now.

        Ohhh really? I have one too, figured it was just a neat decoration on my camera shelf now. Maybe I’ll dust it off and use it again!

          Go for it. Keep in mind, theres two types of film now though. “Retro” and “modern”. Don’t remember the classifications. Either way, modern doesn’t work in retro cameras cause there’s no built in battery.

          Box should make it clear, but I know I grab without reading the box all the time. Figures I’d give a warning.

        There’s a neat video showcase of their process/factory on YouTube. Forgot which channel made it but think something like veritasium/sed

          They actually made a LEGO Polaroid camera. Should be coming out next year?

          Smarter Every Day did a film factory tour series, I think it was Kodak. He’s got some cool film photography videos.
