Packfilm Films
This list only include Polaroid branded materials. For a listing of some other films not listed here, such as the compatible Fuji films, see the FAQ page.
The following technical information is useful for specifics concerning each film.
Unless otherwise noted, all 80-Series Land Pack Films have the following characteristics in common:
- Each pack contains 8 prints.
- Actual image area: 2 3/4" x 2 7/8" (6.9 x 7.2 cm) (almost, but not quite square).
80-series films are used by the 80-series Packfilm Cameras; including the Square Shooter and Zip series of cameras, as well as other photographic equipment having a Polaroid/NPC Type 80 film back or other compatible back.
80-series films can also theoretically be used in most 100/660 rectangular-only Polaroid pack cameras and backs. But one needs to be aware that those cameras lack the necessary light shields needed to protect the smaller 80-series pack in case you ever need to open the film door when the camera is loaded (to fix a 'missing white tab' problem, for example). Keep that in mind, and keep shooting!
