It's expired film! So what can you say? Expired film yields unexpected results as any film photographer knows. But if you know what you're doing, then you can have an amazing time with these! I only mark 'no' for good quality because....well it's expired. BUT. I recommend replacing the battery pack (in a dark room) with a used Impossible battery pack. Cause half way through my first, the battery went dead. This is expected behavior due to the age of the pack of film. But I had so much fun with these packs of film. I really wish I could order more.

I'M VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS PURCHASE. FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE I RECEIVED THIS POLAROID 600 "OPENED BOX" FILM, I TOOK 2 PICTURES AND LOW AND BEHOLD THE FIRST PICTURE ONLY BLACKED OUT HALF OF THE PICTURE, AND THE SECOND ONE WAS COMPLETELY BLACKED OUT, SO I THINK I KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT ON THE OTHER EIGHT EXPOSURES. THAT'S WHAT I GET FOR TAKING THE CHANCE. MONEY LOST AND NOT EASY TO LET GO. BEING ON SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY. "MY LOSS" J. WESTON

LET ME BEGIN BY SAYING THIS SELLER IS AWESOME AND HONEST!! THIS REVIEW HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM!!!********* (I'm not even writing this to badmouth Polaroid...I just want to tell people who may, like me, be curious about using expired film in a camera that no longer is made. Polaroid makes great cameras and film, but expired film is just that, expired....use at your own risk) *************The film didn't really work. We were able to get about 2/3 of some pictures to show up, but even they were not very good quality.********* It seems pointless to review a product they stopped making years ago, but I decided to write this review to hopefully spare someone wasting their money hoping this film will work for them despite it being expired.******** HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS*********** One thing I want to mention. I ended up buying a Fuji Instax Mini 8 instant camera from Kohls. You can get them on ebay, on amazon, at target, best buy....they look like toy cameras sort of....but they take instant pictures the size of credit cards and they come out very clear and bold. Everyone who sees our camera loves it. It's a novelty thing. Not meant for deep photographical critique. Snap pic - Give to person - they love it!*********** The film for the camera is very reasonable, ($10 for 10 prints which for instant film this is cheap. On ebay its cheaper though. I got 50 prints for $25). Polaroid makes an exact replica of this camera (or maybe it's the other way around) either way, the two cameras are exactly alike and you can use the same film for both of them. I went with the Fuji because it seemed to have a lot more reviews in general, and most of them were good and the ones that weren't were just about the toy-like look they have. They aren't a camera that is meant to last you years and years. They are meant to have fun, and don't expect to see HD detail..it's not about that with this camera...it's an instant camera...people love getting their picture taken and instantly see it developed.Read full review
Person selling was great, quick, and good to work with. Note to everyone who wants to buy old expired Polaroid film, it no longer works, all the film turns out brown. It’s ok cause I was able to cut it open and use the Polaroid as a make shift frame for crafts. Camera still works and the film I can just reload into the cartridge which makes a great toy for kids!

I was aware that expired film could distort the quality of an image, but I was not made aware that the chemicals in the film would be completely rusted and corroded! There was no image whatsoever on the print and the printout had a foul-smelling, rusty residue that I'm sure was not safe to touch.
