YES!! ! In fact, I only just got out my old polaroid camera the other day and took a few pictures of me and Alternative. The film was 10 years old, so they all came out orange. I binned them, and am planning to buy another film.

I remember at the time I bought it, it was something like £20 for the camera and £10 per film (10 photos per film). I hope the films have come down in price.

I also owned one of those small polaroids where they printed out mini photo stickers. The craze didn't last for long, though. I'm not sure if I still even have that one.

for christmas someone got me a little polaroid printer, which instantly prints photos from your camera or phone. cool, but not quite the same

You can buy one for a stupid price here. I just don't understand the price hike. Everybody is out to charge as much as they can these days. :roll: So, buy them off ebay instead.

Here's the small one I was talking about.

That does sound cool.

Not that I know of, but I have the PC software Poladroid. And it's free!

Me! I love the way they develop almost instantly and the size of the photos.

Could that something be that they take and print instant photos :?:

I love Polaroid cameras, and vintage-y photography in general.
I own a Rolleiflex from the late 40s-early 50s, but that's all I have as far as vintage cameras go. And I need to get it serviced and such... plus buy the film. So I have basically no experience with it yet. :(
When I was little and went to church (lolol), they would take our pictures with Polaroids and I thought it was the coolest thing.
I really want a vintage toy camera (Diana, Helga, etc.) and also a Polaroid camera or two. I kind of like the expired film look with Polaroids, if the picture is taken in the right lighting and such.
