If you have an old polaroid land camera that takesType 100 packfilm (examples include automatic models 250, 340, 450 or the pro manual models 180/195 types), this film will work great with a bit of tweaking: 1. On the automatic models you only have ISO 75 or 150 that is close to the actual ISO of the film (100) so you will have to adjust the lighten/darken control a little on the camera to compensate. 2. The springs and timeres on the back of some polaroids may make it tough to get the first couple of shots out. You can loosen the springs or just open the back door a little on the first shots to relieve the pressure. This also works in Fuji's own cameras like the Fotorama Fp-1. Some people use a warming filter as colours are a bit cool - I like it that way or adjust after scanning.
Fuji's FP-100c is the film that is used in Polaroid cameras that require pack film, the peel apart type. The daylight balanced film is sharp and the colors are accurate. Development times are printed on every pull tab. I have had no exposure or development issues. If you are looking for great photographs use this film. The images are not as "dreamy" as Polaroid brand films but in a side by side comparison I generally prefer Fuji film. In addition to the photograph, a negative can be had by a technique described online. Each pack contains 10 photos. The cost is reasonable.
Excellent film for use in the many "100" -class polaroid folding cameras that use 10 exposure pack film. However, users should know that the plastic film pack is just a little deeper than the original metal polaroid film packs. The film pack fits very snugly when the film loading door is closed, requiring a very strong grip and pull of the white index tab and print film tabs to draw the film through the development rollers. Take care not to rip off the tabs. Some people say they click open the film loading door just a smidge before pulling the tab and then close the door tight again. I just take a firm grip on the tab and pull forcefully straight through. The color quality and sharpness of the film is excellent though and breathes new life in those wonderful old polaroid pack film cameras!Read full review
With an ISO 100 you get very fine grain for super sharp prints. The color is very accurate and the finish is glossy. If you enjoy the outstanding ability to make and enjoy a fine color print in 90 seconds this product is excellent. This film pack works perfectly with my Polaroid camera. Light your subject well and your color prints will be great.

I love this film and use it on my Zero 4x5 Pinhole camera and my Polaroid 203 MiniPortrait Camera. A very retro look and feel. My parents had a Polaroid land camera in the 60s and this really takes me back. The negatives can be retrieved and scanned for post processing with your favorite image manipulation program. I do some emulsion transfers and love this film for that. I hope Fuji doesn't discontinue this like the FP-3000B B&W. Buy some of this and and old Polaroid land camera (I love the 250 and 350). Support this film, get a feel for yesteryear and experiment with some down and dirty photographic techniques. You can find all sorts of help and inspiration on the web.
