This sale is for 1 box of Polaroid Type 618 color balance 3400K 39' 2800 frame count 2' 35'' running time at 18 frames/sec instant cine film pack that expired in between 1989 and 91. We have run this film through a camera and have tried to develop it in a Polavision player. Both the film and the developer solution appear to be in good condition. However the adhesive attaching the film to the pull tab designed to released the developer solution has degraded, thus, on the two cartridges we tested, the solution was not released and the film remained unexposed. This may be the case for all of these cartridges.
This extinct expired sealed cine film cartridge is part of a gigantic hoard of extinct Polaroid films and accessories was rescued from the 2nd floor of a mid-New England warehouse. It was there for over 20 years, and apparently it never froze! Please see our other listings for extinct film types and rare Polaroid parts and accessories.
Polavision phototape cassette requires a Polaroid Polavision Player for development and viewing: you could watch your film 90 seconds after shooting. Development process automatically occurs when phototape cassette is inserted into Polaroid Polavision Player the first time. The Polaroid phototape cassette contains the developing agent.
Polavision movie film is an additive color film, as the Dufaycolor, Autochrome Lumière or Finlay Colour. The illusion of color is formed by adding together proper proportions of red, green, and blue light. The film surface is made up of strips of alternating red, green, and blue filters. On the film base, they are imprinted microscopic stripes of color in triplets (4500 per inch). These filters act both during exposure and during viewing to reproduce color. Polavision film in essentially black-and-white film that has been adapted for color by this clever mechanism.
