Polaroid Blue Film in my Automatic 100

 

Images of a Polaroid Land Camera and a stack of blue-biased prints

Polaroid stopped manufacturing peel-apart film in 2008, so I obtained some in 2009-10 and… hoarded it. I’ve used some and loved it, but kept some in the fridge, since I wanted to save it for something special. But some of it dried out, and… I found the camera, warmed up the film, and was pleasantly surprised.

The camera is less precise with its shutter than I recall, but for a camera made in 1963-1966 that has never been serviced, it is doing okay!

Hopefully I’ll use up the rest of it this week.
