Films for the instant camera
The Polaroid Now is compatible with two types of film. The i-Type films and the classic 600 films from Polaroid can be used. There are eight images in each film cassette. A counter on the back provides information about the remaining images.
The i-Type films were developed specifically for modern Polaroid cameras and are available in various versions, including the Polaroid Color Film for i-Type*, the Polaroid B&W Film for i-Type* and special editions with creative frames.
The 600 films are the classic Polaroid films that have been known for decades for their characteristic aesthetics. They are the same size, but there is a disposable battery in the film cassette. Therefore, you should choose the i-Type films.
