Polaroid 600 Colour Film 40 Pack

The photo speaks for itself! I took this on one of the during a snow storm in Toronto using an SX-70 converted to shoot 600 films which was mounted on a tripod. I love how it captured the passing car's motion blur along with its red lights.I look forward to trialling more long exposure shots using this film and trying out the B&W 600 Film, which I intend to use for portraits.

Best value for the money! Polaroid 600 film can be such a pain to get due to the ridiculously high prices now a days. However, I got this pack for such a reasonable price during the holidays! Will continue to buy from this company whether it’s be film or any additional services! Thank you Retrospekt!

Can’t go wrong with 600

This film is for 600-types Polaroid which require the battery in the film. I have an autofocus 660 and supercolour 635CL (the latter of which, rather sadly, admittedly gets much less love). If you know how to use the film to its advantage, you’ll get some gorgeous colour rich photographs. The photos of my photos don’t do them justice.That being said it’s a very nuanced and fussy film, I have gone through many a dud too - over/ underexposure tends to be my downfall. I say, as long as you’re having fun and capturing moments you love, it’s worth it. But if you’re taking Polaroids for that “perfect photo” then you better have deep pockets (no shade to analogue wonderland, they are wonderful & it’s not their fault at all. it’s just the general, wider RRP of the film ... MoreThis film is for 600-types Polaroid which require the battery in the film.

Expensive, but you get to be creative

I mean. Yea it is expensive as heck, but if you are reading this we both know only eight pictures will not cut it and that you will use every piece of film eventually. Yes the camera is large and bulky but you’ll get to make some really unique looking memories along the way. You’ll really try to make every picture count. We are definitely going to get this box of film every single time we go on a major vacation (obviously we don’t go that often). Because when is a better time to use it than on your own personal getaway. DO NOT FORGET TO HAND CHECK AT THE AIRPORT WHILE GOING THROUGH TSA JUST IN CASE.

Faded and discolored

I had high hopes for this film but unfortunately all of the pictures I take come out faded and discolored. I took a few pictures with some film purchased elsewhere and they came out colored and clear. I am not sure, maybe I got a bad batch? I know I used the correct film for my Polaroid Now camera.

Fun film, but not worth the money

It's great to be able to use Polaroid again, but it's still nowhere near the quality of the original Polaroid.The film is very sensitive to light and temperature. If it gets too cold, your photo will come out blue/green. If there's too much light, your film will be overexposed.Occasionally, you will get all the conditions perfect, and your photos will develop as you remember from the original Polaroid, albeit less detail or depth. The colours do develop very well, and have a very nice, vintage look.The film itself is slightly thicker than the old Polaroid, hence there being 8 photos instead of 10 in a pack. The other problem with the film being thicker is the rollers on the old cameras were designed to be used with the thinner film. This might not have any effect ... MoreIt's great to be able to use Polaroid again, but it's still nowhere near the quality of the original Polaroid.The film is very sensitive to light and temperature.

This might not have any effect on your photos, but something to bear in mind.Consequently, less in a pack and the inconsistent results have left me feeling they aren't worth the money.However, if money is no object, then get this film, as it is very fun to use, and work out how to use.

Great to have polaroid around, film still has room for improvement

I shot a pack of polaroid 600 film (production date 2/2020) in my Polaroid SLR 680. This was my first experience with Polaroid, after switching from Instax. Really impressed with the images. Much prefer them to instax because of the size and overall aesthetic of them. Colours seem to be ok, but not perfect. Portraits had good skin tones but landscapes had strong green/magenta colour casts. There is also uneven lightness across the image on a couple of the photos. I assume this is an issue with the chemical pouch. The dynamic range is also poor, shadows have almost no detail and highlights blow out easily. However, when you get a well exposed photo, all the details pop. I think the black and white might be better since it won't be effected by the colour accuracy. ... MoreI shot a pack of polaroid 600 film (production date 2/2020) in my Polaroid SLR 680.

Snap, crackle & Pop reliability

Excellent quality, the new Polaroid 600 film reintroduced back to the public back in 2011 as IMPOSSIBLE PROJECT has now achieved the possible which is quick reliable developing process in 4-6 minutes time. The color is sometimes inconsistent leaning towards bluish tone during bright days. Still, one can simply correct that with a an inexpensive color filter. Attached the plastic filter to the camera lens and completely corrected the tone. The purchase price is also ideal.

Worth the purchase

I purchased the film two days before a trip I was about to go on thinking it would be most likely that it wouldn't arrive by when I needed it. The package came through the next day though (shipping to DC) and it gave me the chance to bring the polaroid with me for some instant images during my travels. It's also a good price for the 40 exposures and gives me the chance to not worry about getting more film for some time.

classic film at a great price

I had bought a Polaroid Impulse 600 years ago at a Goodwill, but never tested it. We bought this package, cleaned the rollers, and with our fingers crossed watched as the green light came on. These cameras are tanks.This package is a great price. With the returned demand for Polaroid, the price per photo has come down. I had a friend tell me that about a decade ago the price was around $5 per exposure, but this package comes out at around $1.88 per exposure at the time of my purchase.The color is clean and sharp. The border and film frame construction is solid.
