Comments about Polaroid 669 Polacolor ER 3.25 x 4.25" Instant Film:
This is a great product that is unfortunate to see leaving the shelves for good. It great to shoot with, and the ability to do image transfers and emulsion lifts makes it even more fun.

Comments about Polaroid 669 Polacolor ER 3.25 x 4.25" Instant Film:
This Polaroid film does a great job in average conditions. I like it for the characteristics it exhibits. Lets face it, I wouldn't only use this, but it makes for a good addition to my bag. Fuji does a masterful job, but doesn't have this kind of character.

Comments about Polaroid 669 Polacolor ER 3.25 x 4.25" Instant Film:
I used these for doing image transfers and emulsion lifts onto watercolor paper. They worked awesome and I don't think this type of film will be around much longer so buy it up while you can.

Comments about Polaroid 669 Polacolor ER 3.25 x 4.25" Instant Film:
I use this film with my polaroid daylab. I can't find the film in any stores around here anymore. So happy to see B&H still has it in stock and for a good price.
The package arrived pretty quick and the film was packed well. one of the packs has a corner that doesn't show up when developing but this happens a lot with this kind of film and i doubt it has anything to do with the shipping/handling.
I'll probably order some more soon!

Comments about Polaroid 669 Polacolor ER 3.25 x 4.25" Instant Film:
When i got my last pack of 669 and it had a "being discontinued" warning sticker on it i was truly bummed. This film is a classic and produces great colors that no other film comes close to. Although not the most accurate film, it's great for timeless looking photographs.

Comments about Polaroid 669 Polacolor ER 3.25 x 4.25" Instant Film:
669 is unrivaled for use in polaroid transfers. The palette is unique, slightly darker and more mysterious than 689 or fuji fp-100, but that is what gives 669 its own magic like properties. I pray that someone continues to make this amazing film in the future!

Comments about Polaroid 669 Polacolor ER 3.25 x 4.25" Instant Film:
I love to use this film for Polaroid film transfers - it allows me to create new visions with my kodachrome slides.
Comments about Polaroid 669 Polacolor ER 3.25 x 4.25" Instant Film:
I use this in my Holgaroid back and it works good. Transfers are very easy to do. Exposure is accurate when I meter with a DSLR. I love that it's ISO 80 because I tend to always do longer exposures anyway. Colors come out great.

Polaroid has many uses, and I prefer to use them with my pinhole polaroid camera. Polaroid stopped making the film so it its even more valuable to stock up on them now!

I picked up a slide printer at the thrift store and found out I needed this film to test it out. Of course you can find it online and next thing you know its in your mailbox. After I figured out how to put the film into the camera it took some great shots. Hoping to try some image transfers soon.

Comments about Polaroid 669 Polacolor ER 3.25 x 4.25" Instant Film:
I am so dismayed that Polaroid has discontinued 669 Polacolor instant film. For artists who create image and emulsion transfers from instant film, the Fuji product is unsatisfactory. The loss of this film will drastically impact this artistic medium.
