Have fond memories of Polaroid, especially an old Mamiya press camera with a Polaroid back.

Ah yes, the good old days of waving the picture impatiently until the picture comes in.

My experience with Polaroid was with both the type that you peel (camera had a timer on the back to let you know when to peel off the picture) and the “SX-70” type film in a Polaroid One-Step in the 1980’s. In both cases, the images looked great for about 10 years, then faded away.

Lost a lot of good memories to Polaroid film.

[ZOOKER]

Ah yes, Polaroid pictures.

Anonymous and untraceable, which makes them valuable in certain applications.

I didn’t even know they quit making the film. I remember the last time I used mine. It was circa 1999. I needed some black and white photos for a project and the only black and white film I could find anywhere was for the old polaroid. I was really shocked that you couldn’t just walk into a drugstore and pick up a couple rolls of black and white film for my old 35mm.

Don’t polaroid photographs have some special use in alternative medical diagnoses?

Gee I have an old Impulse in mint condition. Don’t know how old it is.
Quit using it when the film could no longer be found.
