Polaroid600 Platinum Film Single Pack (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

Bought in May 2011 from MonsterHotDeals; product arrived promptly, with the box in good condition. Seller feedback was 96% as of 30 days back when I bought the film.Film expiration date on box: 09/09.I used this with my Polaroid 600 camera (exact same camera as the one for sale on Amazon under: "Polaroid One Step Express Instant Camera, Midnight Blue").I used the "no flash" option as I was shooting against glass. The pictures are yellowed, more than I think they should be when using this feature, but the subject is clearly visible.I didn't want to waste any of the other shots left in the film pack to see how well it shoots pictures with the flash, but I did accidentally shoot one shot of that same subject with the flash on. Keeping in mind the reflection from the flash on glass, it nonetheless looks like the shot was okay - not great, but okay.When you knowingly order film that's out of date, you definitely take a chance, and I decided to buy a single pack to see how things would go.I think it depends on what kind of quality you need for your pictures as to whether or not this film (with this expiration date, from this seller) works. For my purposes this film (again) was okay, but I wouldn't say great.As far as this seller's promptness and the package condition, I give MonsterHotDeals high marks. Again: when you knowingly order film that's out of date, you take a chance, so I don't necessarily blame the seller for the somewhat less than stellar quality of the product, and I would buy other products from them in the future.NOTE: I think it's helpful to list the seller's name when reviewing products that ship from multiple sellers. They won't all have the same film batches, nor will they have all stored the film in the same way, so expected quality from various sellers could be different. I didn't see any previous reviews stating who the seller was; I'd be very curious if anyone who writes new a new review got the same product from a different seller and had better results.

On October 5th, 2011 I purchased (2) Polaroid 600 Platinum Film Single Packs of film. Like I've stated in other reviews I'm a total photography geek, I love all think photography related. I've been a long time fan of Polaroid film and have amassed quite a collection of both cameras and film over the years. When I purchased this film Polaroid had discontinued manufacturing instant films. The Impossible Project had purchased the last remaining sock and production equipment and was working on their own films. The Impossible films in the early years were insanely unstable and you had to really be a dedicated instant photographer to use it. The value of traditional Polaroid instant film was going through the roof so I purchased these to re-sell. As I've mentioned in other reviews at the time I had my own business buying and selling products so this was a great deal for reselling. The original polaroid film was great, the colors were great and it was stable, as this film was discontinued and as Polaroid films were used passed their expiration date the quality greatly decreased. I believe the last expiration dates are somewhere around 2010. The integral film (600 style) doesn't last as long as the peel apart style films. At this point I wouldn't suggest anyone purchase this product as the odds of it working are quite slim. If you have a instant camera that takes, 600, spectra, or sx-70 films I highly suggest you look into the current offerings from the impossible project. I will still give this product a 5 star review as this was (when not expired) an incredible product... and missed dearly.Seller: 3rd Party MerchantCondition: NewPurchase price: $71.98 ea. (Shipped)

I just received the film in a timely manor and was excited as my niece just told me she still had the polaroid camera I had bought many years ago. She said she looked for the film and couldn't find. I jumped onto amazon and sure enough there it was. I bought a pack (even though the price was crazy HIGH) but hey it was for my niece BUT the experation date is 2007 so I think I will just return it after reading the reviews as to others who used the expired film and it was bad.. Not worth paying over $50 for..I have a compact HP A646 printer for my digital prints and it's GREAT.. I like to be able to view a picture before printing. between the ink and photo paper it's about 30 cents a print and soooo easy.. Also small enough to take with you anywhere.. No computer is necessary, you just need an outlet to plug it in.. and within about 1 minute your photo is printed..

I purchased the film as my grandchildren had never seen a polaroid camera and film is very hard to get. Although the kids thought the camera was great, I believe the film might have been old as the pictures were not bright enough. I am giving it 3 stars for the fun it brought them

I don't know if I can come up with 20 words. It is what it is. Polaroid film; if you have a Polaroid camera and still want to use it, bite the bullett and buy this item; otherwise, go buy another camera and move on. Is that 20 words?

The older they get the worse the quality and they are getting harder to find. Still fun to use though.

I had a 50/50 chance here and the film was out of date, but my mom just had to use her old camera so it is what it is. Seller was fast in shipping and did offer a refund. But would buy from this seller again.

The film's worth, as it was, was questionable, just due to its high price. But it was a gift for my boyfriend, a photography enthusiast, so I figured it was worth the splurge. He unwrapped it and loaded his (also new) camera and everything seemed fine until he took his first shot (which he was hesitant to do, as there are only ten pictures to spend). The upper corners of the photo were ruined. And upon taking a second photo some days later, we learned the whole pack must be ruined. It looks kind of cool and it's not too big of a deal because we both appreciate photo accidents, but it wasn't worth $60. Maybe the store should check where it stores their packs or check its source.

When I bought this it was a good idea at the time, but now this type of film for the type of camera is out of date as all cameras tend to be digital these days

Great product and service thanks

Very good,thank you.

Purchased film for daughter's polaroid. Expensive as it is no longer being manufactured (at the moment), but film still worked and we are very happy with it.

Very unfortunate purchase. Arrived late and didn't work. Do not purchase this! The film was a birthday present and I paid extra to have it delivered in time. It arrived 3 days late. Of the 10 shots in the package of film not one worked. At $140 Canadian including shipping it was a complete waste of money. Very disappointed!!
