Best Price for 600 film I have found...

Since I received my last shipment of SX70 blend today I have been poking around for the best prices on 600 film.

Staples.com is selling 4 packs for 41.99$. If you buy three or more four packs the price goes down to 39.99$ with free shipping after 50$, so less than a dollar a shot which doesn't seem so bad especially considering i paid 2.50 a shot for the blend!

Any better deals out there?

Staples.com is also selling ID-UV for 9.90$ a twin pack!

SF 101, check on the land list for details on your specific cameras.

It's quite easy when you have a wonder around. What model do you have?

By the looks of it, "First non-folding SX-70 camera. (but also among the most common)", meaning it takes SX-70 film. You'll need to either mod your camera, use an ND filter on the lens, or a filter on pack of film. Also best to just slip the black cardboard (from the film pack) half way into the camera, slide your film in, then slip out the cardboard.

So yes, 600 film :)

Isn't that from the original post?

Try google. It's amazing

I'm sorry to be sarcastic, but it's pretty easy to find answers to questions like that, even just by searching the archives of discussions from this group.

SF 101, the only film your camera can now use is 779 or 600. If you're lucky to score some SX-70 Blend or Time Zero you can also use that (without modifications).

i ended up getting 120 shots of 600 and 200 shots of ID UV for 235$ (had to pay sales tax) but i am more than happy with that. will check out walgreens in minneapolis and see if that sale is in effect. I checked out target as they are selling double packs of 600 for 24.99 but they were out and said they didn't expect anymore shipments. Is 600 running out too? they had plenty of one600 pro cameras tho...which is so strange as i see those cameras going for 150$+ on amazon...hoarding must be in full effect?

and thanks for the link taf is fat

i now see i bought expired ID UV film. all should be well tho...

600 film will be the first to sell out me thinks. Funny that they predicted it would be the last to sell...

got my first, and last order of Blend a few weeks ago. all gone now. the search for film is on, and is leading me to some interesting supplies, and opening my mind to more possibilities, so i'm gald the Blend has gone, now I can loosen up and have some fun! all my film is real precious now, but I'm not afraid to experiment with it. I reckon there is masses of 600 out there still.

Spectra (for me anyway) has the stigma of no glass-lensed, properly-focusing cameras that use it. I've considered making a Spectra-eating LF rig with Mamiya RB67 lenses or something, but it needs a mirror in the optical path which may be more optomechanical mojo than I can muster.

golden submarine nope, spectra was "finished" the fist quarter of this year. It's sold out at the big camera stores here in NYC and the prices have shot up (much like 600 film).

Kat White I think you're right :(

okto. that would be sweet! i like my spectra pro, but it could definitely be a little sharper. i have been able to get a few nice shots though....

Kat White  Pro User  says:

If I get some more 600 at less then $20 per pack in a month I'll buy it, otherwise I'm just going to use what I have. I can't keep hoarding forever... Think I have enough for 2 years.

How did Polaroid predict 600 selling the last. I really don't understand that...

Will somebody please kindly buy polaroid films from me and send it to Canada? We dont have good deals on polaroid films here and knowing that you guys have access for cheap polaroid films make me really jealous. The cheapest film I can get, plus shipping to Canada, is like $1.8/exposure. So, is there anybody who is kindly enough on helping me? Thank you.

for anyone in the uk - best deal i've found here has been in boots, which has twinpacks of 600 (20 shots) for £21.49. you get quite a few points on the loyalty card, if you have one, which brings it close to £1 a shot.

technically this should also be in their 3 for 2 section (their labels say 3 for 2 on all film), but boots representatives somehow believe that polaroid film is not film. i have had this argument in quite a few branches now, but have yet to succeed in convincing them of this - grrr!

go to Boots and check the dates on their stock. Ask them to check in the store room too. They sold me all their out of date stock for £2.00 per 20 shot twin pack [10% of retail price!].
