Originals, Color Film (600), 8 Photos

Yes my son loved the product as he had found an old camera at a yard sale. We bought these to see if the camera worked and the quality of the pictures was great. Very easy to use.

I've shot some of the Polaroid B&W 600 film in my old One Step Express and I have no complaints other than the price. PROS: Excellen sharpness and rendition, probably exceeds the lens' ability to resolve, being as it's a plastic meniscus lens. Built-in batter is nice because it means you'll never have low battery issues. CONS: Expensive. Shopping amazon brings the lowest price available at this time and it rounds to about $2 a shot. I love the square format and the excellent contrast and resolution. Great film, and that flare of light on the right hand picture is from a mirror at upper left reflecting into the lens.

Polaroid has a distinctive color and a slightly more faded look than Fuji Polaroid. I like the square format. I usue it on special days.

Polaroid being polaroid

People rave about using the 600 series film in newer Polaroid instant cameras like the Now and Now+ among others. Honestly, I got it thinking that there’d be some difference in exposure, color, or both. There is but it’s almost totally negligible. If I were to do it again I would make my purchase based on price, not hype because the i-Type and 600 series are basically the same with the i-Type not having a built in battery (because it doesn’t need one because the camera itself is its battery). The image quality is nice and I like it. I ended up mixing up some 600 series color photos with some i-Type photos and I could not tell you which was which and this was only like a day ago. I like the vintage aesthetic of the packaging and how thin it it. I know the new i-Type packaging also goes for that same aesthetic but there’s just something about the i-Type presentation, when compared to the old 600 series film, that makes it obvious they’re trying to make the new stuff look like it’s cool 90s stuff which I object to as a person who grew up as a child in the 90s and remember them fondly. Anyway, the photo quality is great. Maybe the 600 does get a little underexposed and you’ll want to keep that aperture open just a little longer if you can in low light. Clarity is what you’d expect from a 600 series. It’s crisp enough but not crisp. By that I mean you see what’s happening in the photo but it looks like an 80s/90s Polaroid which is a great aesthetic. In the end I think that your decision is going to be based on your technical knowledge of how instant cameras work, the hobby itself, and what’s cheapest. If you’re a casual instant photographer then I’d stick with the film your camera recommends not because it gives better results but because you may end up spending more money for something that you can’t even see the difference in.

Nice

Works in the vintage cameras great quality!
