Produced: 20??-20?? / Original Price: $24.99

  • 8 exposures
  • Manipulatable
  • Muted color palette

Notes: Made with leftover chemicals from a Polaroid plant after it shutdown which is why the colors are a bit off. But the creativity shown by users of this film ignores that "problem".

SX-70
 

Produced: 1972-198? / Original Price: $6.90

Notes: This was the film introduced with the original SX-70 camera. This was just as much a breakthrough product as the original Polacolor (i.e. Type 48) film was in 1963. It's truly a marvel of chemical engineering, if you stop to think about it.

This film was replaced with SX-70 Time-Zero film around 1980.
