Polaroid camera

HA!  I found my old Polaroid camera from the 70's!  I see there are a number of stores that are selling Polaroid film. Not to ask a potentially dumb question, but will modern day film work in older cameras like this?  

Next I'll be asking about my bell bottoms! :rofl:

Depends on what camera - what model is it? I bought a couple of SX-70s that are somewhat earlier than that (60s), and still have my 600 series black rainbow Polaroid from, I don't know, the 90s.

The Impossible Project makes film for both. You can use 600 film in a camera that takes 70 film if you get one of their ND filters; it fits into the top of the film pack (just make sure you save it after you use up the film, it doesn't eject and will still be in the empty cartridge).

Fuji makes pack film used in some of the older Land cameras.

Hope you have fun using your Polaroid again. Not so sure about the bell bottoms, they already came back so you might have to wait til they come around again! lol
