- Well, the "modern" Polaroid rollfilms are Type 42 (ASA 200) and Type 47
- (ASA 3000) Both are panchromatic B&W print films. (Both of these films
- came out in the 50's, so they aren't exactly "modern"...)
-
-
- HOWEVER:
- Unfortunately, Polaroid discontinued all roll films as of June of this year.
- So, the only way to get some is to try and find a store that still happens to
- have some in stock, as there is none being made anymore. So, find what film
- you can, and stick it in the refrigerator...
-
-
- BTW, if someone out there has some quanity of Type 47 to sell, (reasonably
- priced) let me know; I might be interested.
- I'd really like to be able to keep using my 110A and many other rollfilm
- Land cameras... (No, I don't plan to convert my 110A to pack film...)
