Very cool pics! I have the same camera sitting on a shelf that I bought a few years back in Arizona. I have yet to find film for it, but laziness is my best excuse. These pics give me some inspiration to buy some and try and the camera though! cheers.

Don't know if anyone is making pack film anymore - Polaroid quit the business a year or two ago - but you'll also need to find the battery for this camera as the shutter/aperature won't open without it.

these have settings for 75, 150, 300, and 3000 asa, right? fuji makes a lot of pack film these days... you should be able to find one close enough to one of those values to be correctable through over/under exposure. (fuji pack film)

PX19 batteries are also available online or at Radio Shack, but if youre handy with a soldering iron, you can rig up the battery-connectors to take three much more common AAA batteries, in series.

i love old polaroids! i generally rock a colorpack IV:

Might've had or had use of that model back in the day... Amazon has Fuji pack film...

Found my Colorpack IV!

Also got hold of this Keystone/Berkey camera...

Pretty sweet. Maybe next time I'm in The City I'll splurge and get hold of some pack film...
