I forgot about how much I love the way Polaroids look

You could just download instagram and use that. All the hipsters are doing it!

I can out-Retro you and brake out the Kodak Disc Camera but that would be a little much

Out-retro? I don't think so....here's my Polaroid camera from the 60's...

Out retroed?? How about my Brownie Hawkeye or my Kodak 35 Army Signal Corps?

LOL...I had the same brownie cam, sold it
Nice kodak...I have an old yashika somewhere

yeah from what I know the kodak 35 was kodaks first 35mm camera. I have the military version from WWII. These thing are going for like $500 on ebay. I wanna sell mine

Man, I wish I had current photos of my collection. I used to be a pro photog and when I had my studio, I had shelves in my waiting area for them. My last count, I have 137 cameras. From home-made pinhole to 4x5's to brownies to polaroids to modern digital. I collect all kinds of camera gear. I even have a Combat Photographer G.I. Joe.

Old cameras are cool. I've got a few, too. Love those Polaroids, Pdowty. I don't care how much you Instagram the crap out of modern photos, nothing compares to the real thing.

x2. I have a Polaroid that I believe was from the late 80's. 10-packs of cartridges, if you can even find them, are crazy expensive

Actually I just found this!

Last I had heard, Polaroid actually quit making instant film but Fuji still makes some.

This one is from a great company: http://www.freestylephoto.biz/catego...m/Instant-Film

If you don't want to spend money, then don't discover the impossible project. Thats the film on Polaroids site there selling. Buy it from the impossible project itself though because I hear polaroid is selling old stock of impossible film. The impossible project is great, they saved 3 million integral film Polaroids from being reduced to paperweights. Check them out. There the only people making integral instant film, and they will remain the only one. Check out their website for more info. Ps they sell old polaroid cameras there too, but at a steep price compared to what you can get on ebay, but chances are you have a polaroid already, but the cameras they sell are refurbished for you and guaranteed working, I want an sx-70 one day but I'd rather go to ebay or even better a garage sale. I respect what they do and I hope you can too

Interesting story but a bit off-topic. I've got an old No. 2 Folding Cartridge Hawk-Eye (Model C 1926-1934) that belonged to my great grandpa. It's been in storage for the last 70 years. It has a roll of film in it that was probably exposed 80-85 years ago. Unfortunately, there are only a couple places in the world who still use the development technique necessary to process this film... not that I'm expecting much from it, but I might try.

haha Ik it was off topic
