Luckily, prices are nowhere near where they were last year.

It's also a special type that produces both a re-usable negative in addition to the Instant positive. BTW, I originally intended to put this into the RB67 /w/ Polaroid back I sold to you but changed my mind at the last minute...it had just been discontinued and my mind was suddenly filled with "One day I'll think of a proper project..." thoughts. :lol: @Eugene Well, 655 film was discontinued a year before the color version and a couple years before the rest of Polaroid films.

The best you can do is refrigerate them. Freezing them destroys 'em. :-( Harman (the company that produces Ilford film products) should have some 600 films out soon and there are a couple of other companies working on it too, so hopefully you won't be stuck with only Fuji in the future. I hope someone makes a good 4x5 Polaroid film so I can start doing transfers again. Polaroids don’t store well, especially out in the open. The best you can do is refrigerate them.
