"But considering that film is not available and I can suddenly make use of my Polaroid 600 camera again I am very happy with this."
"Be careful about touching the polaroid once it comes out of the camera because if you touch the developing part [which I accidentally did a couple times], your fingerprints will develop on the picture."
"The documentary "Time Zero: The Last Year of Polaroid Film" gives an in-depth look at just how complicated (some said "impossible," hence the name) it is and has been to revive instant film (and why they haven't worked out the shielding process which lets you develop the picture without hiding it from light)."
"I have been using polaroid film for about 4 years now and this is buy far one of the best 600 film there but the sad part is that the film I bought came expired although it can still be used after 12 months of its expiration date I was still a little upset."
"I am still learning how to use the camera but I have learned that you can easily over-expose the film and remembering to use the closeup lens between 2 - 4 feet and to remove the closeup lens when taking longer shots."
"And unlike the relatively fast developing time of the old Polaroids, you have to wait 30 to 40 minutes for it to "develop"-- into a blurry photo."
"Have taken 4 more and they did not developed fully."

"But considering that film is not available and I can suddenly make use of my Polaroid 600 camera again I am very happy with this... You have to keep the picture from being exposed to light as best as you can when it comes out of the camera to develop... If you do not cover your photo right away it will develop with extremely light colors which can look cool and vintage but I highly rec'd getting it into the box right after you take your shot."
"For those who have made comments about the quality, that is just how Polaroids are. They are not amazing sharp and clear with beautiful colors because that's just not what the film was meant to do... Be careful about touching the polaroid once it comes out of the camera because if you touch the developing part [which I accidentally did a couple times], your fingerprints will develop on the picture."
"If you're expecting this to be just like old Polaroid-brand film, you're gonna be disappointed: Only 8 exposures per pack, not 10 like old Polaroid film... The quality of some of the pictures I took was not very good (some tended to have a blueish tint)... The documentary "Time Zero: The Last Year of Polaroid Film" gives an in-depth look at just how complicated (some said "impossible," hence the name) it is and has been to revive instant film (and why they haven't worked out the shielding process which lets you develop the picture without hiding it from light)."
"I have been using polaroid film for about 4 years now and this is buy far one of the best 600 film there but the sad part is that the film I bought came expired although it can still be used after 12 months of its expiration date I was still a little upset. The only down side was that because the film was expire the developed film has a somewhat funny tint to it even after using a different exposer. This is an amazing product but I don't think I will be buying it from this seller again."
"I have enjoyed playing with my polaroid 600 camera and since polaroid no longer makes 600 film this is the only company I know that makes film to use in the Polaroid 600 camera. I am still learning how to use the camera but I have learned that you can easily over-expose the film and remembering to use the closeup lens between 2 - 4 feet and to remove the closeup lens when taking longer shots... I wouldn't expect deep vivid color in the original polaroid film and you won't get it in this product either."
"The lighting is all off and photos come out blurry whether you have indoor light or natural light. And unlike the relatively fast developing time of the old Polaroids, you have to wait 30 to 40 minutes for it to "develop"-- into a blurry photo... Don't waste your money on this."
"The first exposure came out just like I remember..... Have taken 4 more and they did not developed fully. Very disappointed in the amount of money spent for the film to not work like it's supposed to."

"Okay, so yes, as stated in other reviews, this would be a two compared to the old school Polaroid film as it takes 30-40 minutes to develop. But considering that film is not available and I can suddenly make use of my Polaroid 600 camera again I am very happy with this... Everyone had a blast seeing this dinosaur out and about... You have to keep the picture from being exposed to light as best as you can when it comes out of the camera to develop... If you do not cover your photo right away it will develop with extremely light colors which can look cool and vintage but I highly rec'd getting it into the box right after you take your shot... Overall very fun to use this camera again, film takes forever but it is still so worth it. Will definitely be purchasing more of this film!"
"I really enjoyed using this film with my Polaroid camera. For those who have made comments about the quality, that is just how Polaroids are. They are not amazing sharp and clear with beautiful colors because that's just not what the film was meant to do... Pictures do develop much better when they are developing indoors or in a climate that is not too cold or hot. I took and developed a few exposures outdoors, probably about 50 degrees, and they turned out a little muddier than the images that I took and developed indoors. Be careful about touching the polaroid once it comes out of the camera because if you touch the developing part [which I accidentally did a couple times], your fingerprints will develop on the picture. I would definitely buy this again!"
"If you're expecting this to be just like old Polaroid-brand film, you're gonna be disappointed: Only 8 exposures per pack, not 10 like old Polaroid film. As soon as the picture comes out of the camera, you have to put it in a pocket or somehow otherwise shield it from any exposure to light while it develops. Developing takes up to 45 minutes. The quality of some of the pictures I took was not very good (some tended to have a blueish tint). All that said, The Impossible Project is an awesome undertaking. The documentary "Time Zero: The Last Year of Polaroid Film" gives an in-depth look at just how complicated (some said "impossible," hence the name) it is and has been to revive instant film (and why they haven't worked out the shielding process which lets you develop the picture without hiding it from light)... Before you buy THIS film, I would check their website to see if the newer version is available."
