FYI
For those who complain about the development time and how the photo turns out, it needs to be understood that this is NOT the original Polaroid film. The Impossible Project bought the last Polaroid factory and had to create their films from scratch because the chemicals Polaroid had used were no longer being produced. The Impossible Project has really come a long way in producing films. This film is not for someone who wants to take quality pictures, and is not for the inexperienced. It is certainly not for someone who wants to get into Polaroids on a budget. This film is more for artistic purposes and does not have the same overall sharpness and color of the original Polaroid film. Personally, I like this film, while it may be different, I like the look of it and you never know how your image will turn out which makes it even more fun. This film is still very experimental and The Impossible Project works hard to improve their product and I have seen improvement from the last time I bought it and when I bought it now. Each batch does indeed look better, in my opinion. And for those who complain about expired film, The Impossible Project recently replaced the expiration date with the manufacture date on their films. So say, for example you receive a pack of film from November, you still have 12 months from that date to use it. I bought my film from Amazon directly, not with any third party sellers and it does say November 2014, but that is the manufacture date, NOT the expiration date. And my pictures all have turned out just fine. To conclude, this film is not for the faint of heart, it is somewhat expensive so your first few packs may not come out as you had hoped, and it does not have the same look nor development time as the original Polaroid film. Hope this helped!
