Like another reviewer, I ordered 3 boxes of the Metallic Red. They came in this morning. The manufacturing date was 08/18 and its 05/20 (meaning almost a year expired). I checked the Polaroid website and they say to use it within 12 months of usage, but could be used longer if stored correctly. I have no idea how it was stored in the warehouse. Maybe it was on sale because it was expired? I bought this as a gift for someone to go with a vintage polaroid camera.

When I bought these and first used them, I thought maybe the person taking our picture was shakey or didn’t know how to use my Polaroid camera. It looked like they were moving and the entire picture was blurry both attempts. I tried myself too and the same thing happened except extremely foggy. So disappointed and scared to buy more because they are expensive packs. I have bought them before from target and worked great with my camera so it doesn’t make sense why these were so bad. Definitely not from heat and definitely not my camera as I’ve used it many times before.

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.
