A nice idea - a very nice idea - but badly executed. The film comes out too dark even on very bright days and the contrast doesn't seem to match.
I can't lie, I can only give it three stars just because it does vary all over the place. I managed to get it right on the climber using almost production-fresh film, but the other shot has tons of weird little artefacts that I believe are down to age as it was getting towards expiry. I highly recommend fridging the film as soon as you get it to keep it as good as possible, and even then to still use it quickly. It's still good fun and the camera's pretty beginner friendly, and it is what I use for parties and all that when it's more about the memory than the quality
Bought this film for my 5 year grandson having also bought him the Go camera, he already knows this is for sunny days only . Grainy and blurry great for kids and the results compare favourably with Fuji's Instax which his sister also has.
seriously, ignore it! there are obviously a few considerations to keep in mind over standard I type but most are fairly obvious,
1. spread, when the film is ejected from your camera, there are rollers in the camera that are designed to squidge the chemical pods stored at the bottom of the frame to the top. due to the smaller nature of this film, it can SOMETIMES be victim to a incomplete spread, if you have orange/red patches on your photo, this is your answer. it can also be due to the age or temperature storage of the film as older film can lead to dried out pods, it's also recommended to clean your rollers so you don't scratch the film and this can also lead to incomplete spreads
2. loss of dynamic range, though dynamic range in standard Polaroid's are usually quite low, go film is lower, meaning if you shoot a bright subject with a dark background, that background will be dark.
3. the way you shoot matters, people will complain about Polaroid because they have only heard of the name, (and most of said people call Fujifilm Polaroid) and they expect it to be a point and shoot experience, here are a few things to keep in mind
if in doubt, use flash
shoot with the sun behind or relatively behind you to prevent glare and dark images
try to avoid shooting on cloudy days, clouds mess with the light meter into thinking the image is brighter than it actually is, this causes your camera to panick and underexpose.
store film in fridge but NEVER the freezer or touching fridge walls.
4. have fun, keep an eye on the temperature, make sure it's nice and room temperature whilst developing if you can and don't shoot immediately out of the fridge. remember that this is meant to be fun not a chore.
with all this in mind, I found my images I get are amazing whether on I type OR go film. simply follow these rules and you'll get great results, I've only ever got slightly incomplete spreads in the corners twice out of 100 photos (do with this information as you want).
Definitely works better in good light. Even with a flash and decent indoor light it comes out a bit muddy. Save it for your holidays!
I think this film works better with good light ( maybe also it's an issue with the camera). Poor performance at night.
Still good fun!
