RE: Black & White Goodness

Oh nice, you've got a 250! I've got a 230 myself - same film. Yeah, that film is hard to come by these days, and any you find is expired beyond belief now.
I've been considering getting a new polaroid through https://us.impossible-project.com. They've got some killer products and make the film for not only their new cameras, but for some old-school Polaroids as well....just not ours.

Yes it's sad that FP-3000B was about £10 each when I bought it. A few weeks later it went to £20 when it got discontinued, now it is £40 or more if you can find it. The expired film is also not great (compared to other stock) - due to it's construction it tends to fall apart in a catastrophic way which makes shots unusable. Of my last stocks that I had I think out of about 10 packs I only got 20 useable shots. It is heartbreaking because some of the best shots were ruined because of the film falling apart, peeling incorrectly, or chemical malfunctions.
