Used with the I-1 camera and gives generally OK results. I don't always follow the makers' suggestion to use the flash even with outdoor shots. The sample image was taken this way. Use the smartphone app for better control.
This warm / slightly sepia b&w polaroid film is fun as a change from colour and has varying contrast in results, with best shots coming from brighter outdoor locations. I enjoyed experimenting with it and achieving some really nice, artistic shots.
I prefer to use B&W Polaroid film as colour can be a little inconsistent sometimes, and this is a solid film for i-Type cameras (coming in slightly cheaper than the 600 version). The current version of Polaroid Originals' B&W can be a little hard to expose sometimes due to low latitude, but is generally decent with flash. It has a slightly warm tone to it which works well with portraits and candid shots.
In my experience it has lasted well past the expiry date - I've shot packs over a year expired and they were fine, so you don't need to worry about shooting it all at once.
yes you heard that right, Polaroid is sharp? not quite as much as Instax but you'll find that Polaroid's b&w film is actually quite an underrated beast for the following reasons,
1. reliability, this film is more reliable under different circumstances (still not as reliable as Instax but definitely an improvement)
2. development time, given it's simpler nature, it can easily develop in 5 minutes
3. sharpness, normal colour I type film is prone to more noticeable softness, this is because the dyes that are spread across from the rollers are not perfectly spread in a straight line, like pushing a paintbrush too hard, this naturally leads to less edge Sharpness, with b&w it's simply just a couple chemical layers
4. storage, this film is definitely the king of Polaroid storage, still not Instax worthy but an improvement
overall, Polaroid b&w film is easily an improvement to Sharpness that the Reddit snobs always ignore, although if you're shooting any instant film for pure sharpness, that's a little bit silly, even with Polaroid's old emulsion.
Some of the shots I've taken with the B&W iType film have been outstanding. Others not so much. There's room for improvement with the film. And the B&W tends to turn brownish over time. So expect a vintage sepia look after a few months/years.
Used a frozen Polaroid Originals pack from 2016. Once you put it in, be sure to shoot it all in a few days, because the later shots I took had already partly dried up. The emulsion does not live long in these, but I'm glad we have something ;)
