You need Polaroid SX-70 film. There is a group of people doing something called The Impossible Project (Google that and you'll get to their website) which is recreating Polaroid instant film. This is apparently harder than you think--the company that made the dye Polaroid used, which is very unique stuff, won't make any more nor will they tell you how to do it, so the Impossible people are creating one of their own.

The Polaroid Model 80 Highlander camera was manufactured as three different models (80, 80A, 80B) from 1954 through 1961. It used Polaroid 30-series roll film, which was discontinued in the 1970s, and is not currently manufactured by anyone else.

Some hobbyists have had success converting their Model 80s for use with conventional 120 roll film (the kind that has to be developed and processed), but this destroys what little value the camera has as a collectible.

To read an article explaining the conversion process, see Related Links, below.

The Pronto uses film marked SX-70, which includes in the film pack the battery that operates the camera. Be prepared to spend about $15.00 - $20.00 for a ten-shot film pack.

Polaroid?

Polaroid is the brand name of a type of film used to polarize light. The inventor, Edwin H. Land, later named the company he formed to sell the film (originally called Land-Wheelwright Laboratories, after himself and a wealthy backer who provided start-up money) Polaroid as well. The Polaroid Corporation is best known, however, for the instant camera (and the photographic film to go with it) that Land developed a few years later.


Does polariod film have a negative in the film cartridge?

It depends on the type of Polaroid film. Polaroid is a registered trade mark of the Land Polaroid company. The adjective is the name of the inventor- not the intended use of the camera! ( there are no Polaroid Aerial or Marine cameras) By the way for technical- slip=stream reasons, an aerial polaroid camera would be inadvisable. Some Polacolorf ( Polaroid color) films have negatives some do not. Everything seems aimed at a rapid development-at the cost of long term productions. There are Polaroid BACKS for use with large or medium format cameras such as the historic and classic Graflex cameras. Some have quite high magazine capacity. All Polaroids are thus- contact prints- the print is the same size as the film format - which makes for bulkiness.

How much is a Barbie polariod worth?

It:s a trick film for a regular polaroid camera./ Given the fact Polaroid cameras are somewhat obsolescent given competition by rapid processing ( One hour shops) of conventional film, and more recently, Digital photography, it is hard to say. there were several novelty borders for Polaroid film Barbie was one. there was also Bugs Bunny and other cartoon characters. I"m sorry I can"t help you further. there was no Barbie Polaroid doll, so to speak. There was a tiny mini-movie camera- pink in color wind-up that was a simulated movie camera for Barbie- like the Pink Garrison-type uniform- I heard that a Pink Garrison hat with the Heart and anchor badge was ALMOST adopted by the Grace Line, but well almost does not count. Polaroid did issue a Barbie version of their model 600 camera. They sell on Ebay for $40-$60. Hail Stevens


What is the value of a 1960's polaroid camera?

Pretty low. The Model 900 takes Polaroid roll film (Type 42 or Type 47), a format that was discontinued in the early nineties, so it's not a useful camera anymore. Examples generally go for less than $20. I paid $3 for mine, some years back.


A modelling agency wrote 'please send us some polas' what does polas mean?

"Polas" means polaroid pictures. You don't have to use an actual Polaroid camera, you can submit snapshots taken with a regular digital camera. These type of snapshots should not be done by a professional photographer.
