What kind of film is needed for a 600 series polaroid?

I'm considering purchasing a Polaroid 660 (old series) and am trying to figure out if the film is still available for purchase. I have found 664, 667 and 669 but none that is just 660. It has been a while since I used polaroid film and I can't seem to remember how the numbering system works.





Are the last digits just to specify the type of film (black/white, colour, etc) and the first tell you the compatibility?|||Forget the numbering system, it's too confusing. Type 690, for example, is an SX-70 film and not compatible with 600 series cameras.





Type 600 film will fit your camera.





Uniquephoto.com have old type 600 film (out of date, but still usable) priced at $32.95 a box (10 pictures).

Search for Polaroid 600 in their search box (the URL keeps changing and I can't put in a direct link to the product).





The Impossible Project have just announced their new version is ready but it's not in the shops yet.

Actually Your Polaroid 660, takes 600 film and 779 film.


ALL 600 cameras take 600 film!





I'm guessing 664, 667, and 669 is not Integral film. It is a Peel-Apart Film which can only be used for Type 100 Cameras.


Type 100 film (Peel-Apart) will not Work with 600 Cameras!





You can still buy film on ebay, uniquephoto, and the Impossible Project :)





The Impossible Project sells sx-70, Type 100, 600, %26amp; 1200 Film.


They have created sx-70 film that was released on March 25.


And will release their new 600 film at the end of April. Spectra will be coming later in the year.
