Hello,

I just bought a Polaroid Sun 660 land camera and I need instant film for it.

this is the camera:

Could you help me where I can find instant film Polaroid 600 in Toronto ?

I found on ebay but with shipping taxes it's too expensive!

the sizes of the film are: 3.5" x 4.2"


thanks!

Stefan - congrats on discovering the Polaroid 600. Unfortunately the film has been discontinued - hence the hefty prices. The impossible project makes a crappy version of it (low contrast, inconsistent ISO sensitivity, etc...) - also very expensive.

Next time you buy a used film camera, do some research on the film and it's availability before jumping in... sadly, lots of film formats are no longer available or are prohibitively expensive.

thanks guys,

I really like this polaroid camera but I didn't know about the film. :(

anyway, I'll keep it, it's a very nice camera and in good condition.
