I don't think you can get the film, unless you luck upon some really old stock on ebay. I bought a Polaroid Land Camera awhile ago and then came up empty. I wrote to The Impossible Project (http://shop.the-impossible-project.com/shop/film) people, and at least when I wrote, they said they had no plans to offer 80-type film. Too bad but they do have some cool stock for some of the other cameras

hey stephen, yeah I spoke to the guys at impossible and they've said exactly the same thing .. unfortunately the film is hard to come by so I'm going to give the camera a miss I think. Ideally I'd prefer a Holgaroid, I know it's not pinhole but I have the holga camera already I just need to modify it with the instant polaroid back. The only problem is cost .. it's bloody expensive  :-\

Plenty of stock of Polaroid Type 100 still around and Fuji Film still makes their equivalent.

This looks like a decent camera and it will take 100 film which is frequently available online ..

Any thoughts? ...
