FujifilmFP-100C 3.25 X 4.25 Inches Professional Instant Color Film

First of all, for those that don't know, this film was discontinued by Fuii in mid-Feb. and wasn't discovered(it was buried in a 2015 financial report) until the end of that month and early March. Fuji did this because they weren't making ENOUGH money on it, not that it wasn't profitable. They never even tried to save it, or the FB-3000, by marketing, introducing a new camera, or simply raising the prices a few bucks. I wish Fuji all the worst in their endeavors, for they have no regard for the consumer. Anyway, once word got, mmediately the price tripled as demand outweighed supply. That is not the film's fault and for those who pay $24 for 8 Impossible pics, this isn't that much more per shot. If your rollers are clean, and your camera works, you'll be delighted at your results. Some old Polaroid cams have two arms, for the lack of a better term, that apply pressure to the film holder, thus causing the first few shots to be difficult to remove. They're not needed with this film(break them off). Test your camera before shooting and make sure your rollers are clean before you shoot. I have yet to take a shot and have the film fail and I've shot hundreds and hundreds of pics. If there's an issue, I know it's the rollers or my body isn't firing. There will be a replacement for this film. Too many cameras and fans for someone not to figure out how to do it and get it out. But please don't blame the film for the price increase, bad photos, or other bad results people have encountered. The stuff is solid and awesome.PS there's a black and white instax on the way. Due out in Oct. Wonder where that's being made? Same place as the FB-3000?

For this film, I use a Polaroid Colorpack II and it works very well. I've used 9 out of the 10 exposures that comes per pack and I'm very satisfied with the outcomes. For the best results, photos should be taken with bright light outdoors, unless you have a flash for indoors. I was looking for a film camera and researching my options for awhile, and this film paired with a Polaroid Colorpack or Land Camera is a truly great alternative compared to instant film that's being made by the Impossible Project for Polaroids like the One Step.I have never used Impossible Project film myself but from reviews I've read and watched, it takes about 20 minutes to an hour to develop fully, the photo must be hidden from light while developing, it's more expensive, and the results are often not predictable. Maybe in the future the Impossible Project will be able to develop a better quality film, but right now it just doesn't seem worth it to me. This Fujifilm peel-apart film only takes usually about 2 minutes to develop (in conditions where it's at least 68 degrees F or warmer), then all you have to do is peel it apart and there's your photo. It's not the stereotypical instant film that shoots out of the camera (so if you're looking for that, you're not going to find it here), but for the short and easy photo development, it's well worth it (plus the peeling-apart process is actually pretty fun).I plan to buy more of this film many more times in the future, so I'm crossing my fingers hoping that this film won't go out of production. In simple terms, if you do your research, it's easy to load, great for the price, easy to shoot, and gives great photos to display or give away. It has that old-timey, vintage feel of film, along with giving truly instant and top-notch results. I plan to experiment a bit in the future and try to take double exposures.(I uploaded a photo along with this review, but after editing it, it seems to have disappeared? Here's a link: http://i.imgur.com/bHRxgKX.jpg)Also, if you're looking for an instant camera that shoots out the photo and you have a few more dollars to spend, I recommend the Fujifilm Instax 210 camera. The instant film for that is about the same size as this, and it also gives quality results.

I am using this to replace the old Polaroid Color Pack 108 Film ASA 75 in an old Polaroid 350 as well as a Polaroid ProPack Camera. The 350 has settings of 75 or 3000 and the ProPack 80 and 3000, so I am using 75 and 80 respectively. I expected to have to compensate heavily with the lighten/darken controls but little compensation was needed. One thing is that developing time as related to temperature is CRITICAL! Example 90 seconds at 77 degrees and 120 seconds at 68 degrees.In the ProPack which has very limited shutter speeds I didn't have to compensate in bright daylight or indoor full flash. However in shadows outdoors I did need to lighten a bit. The 350 has a good light meter and wide range shutter so I set it on 1 tick lighter and it worked well in all environments.Color rendition is WAY better than I remember from the old 108 film and sharpness is excellent in the better lensed camera. Exposure latitude is very narrow, so watch exposure and developing times. If you do I think you will be pleasantly pleased with resurrecting your old pack cameras.Update: After using this film in a variety of Polaroid cameras I have discovered one flaw in this film pack design. It is well documented on the internet with various modifications and fixes. In the older cameras with metal back covers like the 100, 200, 300 and 400 series, the first few pictures are very hard to pull out sometimes tearing off the tab. By the 4th or 5th picture this problem goes away. On the plastic backed cameras like the Pro Pack, Reporter, Swinger and Color Pack this problem does not exist.The problem is that the Fuji film cartridge back cover (side against the back/pressure plate of the camera)is made of a thick plastic back cover which causes the first few pictures to have too much pressure on them and makes them binds while the older Polaroid Pack backs covers are made of thin sheet metal preventing this problem. This is not a problem with the cheaper/newer plastic cameras as they don't have the strong pressure plate pressing on the back of the film pack like the older cameras do. There are several fixes but one which is really easy if you have an old empty Polaroid brand film pack cartridge laying around. Very carefully snap off the back of he Polaroid and the Fuji film packs keeping the Fuji dark slide (black plastic sheet) in place and snap the Polaroid brand metal back cover onto the Fuji full cartridge. Bingo it is fixed. Just remember to keep that metal back for the next and next and next Fuji pack. There are videos on Youtube that show you just how to do this. It is much easier than modifying all your older cameras pressure plate systems.
