Is there some other kind of film I can use in my old Polaroid rollfilm camera?
Sorta. It’s a big question that needs a separate web page, though. Please see the Film Alternatives for Polaroid Rollfilm Cameras page. 2.3.2: I know it’s not being made anymore, but I really really really want to get some 40-series film to use in my old Polaroid rollfilm camera. Where can I buy some? I realize I sorta covered this topic on the page where I describe a few alternate techniques for taking pictures with rollfilm cameras (referenced above), but I still get asked this from time to time. The answer is that there really isn’t any sort of even vaguely regular source for this sort of thing, and what little that might still turn up should be approached very cautiously, since this film, even if stored under ideal conditions, is getting near the end of its useful life. Keep in mind that the last of this stuff is now at least 8 years out of date. [Some of you may be aware that conventional B&W film can still be quite usable a very long time after manufacture if stored properly, but
