Polaroid 230 Automatic Land Camera

[Brian Moore]

Shot some "Polaroids" on Sunday. Actually I shot some "Fujis" with a Polaroid, since Polaroid no longer makes film. (Once an innovative company, Polaroid is a farce now; somewhat like Kodak I suppose.)

Anyway, this is the sign above a local shop in downtown Huntington Beach. I like the colors the Fuji "peel-apart" color film produces. This film is FP100C.

I saved the "goop" side. See below. Millions of these goops were tossed in the bin over the years. Unfortunately, with the color film there was always a recoverable negative there. At the weekend I plan to bleach and clean the goop side to reveal the color negative within. I'll post it at that time.

Very cool - love the retro look to the colors

So how much is a pack of Fuji film for the camera these days?

Thanks, Chris. Roughly about $13.00.

Its not cheap, I know, but I get to play with goop! (You don't get that with a memory card!)

How about a memory card, a jar of honey and a 4 year old?!!

Where's that post-goop image we were promised then?!!
