Very nice! I still have some Polaroid packfilm but haven’t shot any in a while.

To tell you the truth I feel the same. I got a fancy digital to take pics of my kids growing up. But I’m much happier taking pictures of them on my film camera or Polaroid.There is nothing more magical in the photo world than seeing a picture appear on paper
out of nothing after pressing a button. (thank you Edwin Land)
I tried all kinds of digital cams but i am happy now with just my phone for moments and
my instant gear for art, projects, fun and experiments.
It is just such a sad hobby with all the mediums dying.
Everybody should try it.
And that’s exactly why I bought one for my 5yr old. He enjoys taking pictures and I’d rather him learn about the importance of taking a minute to frame and think of a shot vs shooting a couple hundred digital and getting one good one.That simply isnt true - Polaroid cameras were NOT predominantly used for that in the 1970's.
I know this because my folks bought me a Polaroid for my birthday, because I was into photography from an early age (ironically, it was a Polaroid Super Swinger.... [emoji28]). But there is no way they would have bought me a Polaroid aged 10 if they had such a reputation.
