Buy one sealed box of of Polaroid Type 42 Polapan INSTANT black and white roll film (expired 1988)! This 3 1/4 x 4 1/4'' film makes SO many of those old gray Polaroid cameras usable again. See full description for list. A 3rd party expert tested 50 of these rolls, and according to his results, 90% of the chemical cartridges for each photo were usable.
In our testing, using a cellphone meter and a 110A Pathfinder, we found that rating it at ISO 400 with a 15-20 second developing time yielded the best results. I know that goes against all general expired film rules and advice we received. But that's what worked best. I'm sure someone with more Polaroid experience will gain much better results. Please see the sample images.

In our testing, using a cellphone meter and a 110A Pathfinder, we found that rating it at ISO 400 with a 15-20 with a 15-20 second developing time yielded the best results. YOU MUST PULL THE FILM OUT SLOW AND STEADY (OVER THE COURSE OF AROUND 2 SECONDS) IN ORDER TO ALLOW THE THICKENED DEVELOPER TO SPREAD OVER THE PHOTO. We found that the developer packs at the beginning of the rolls occasionally fail to open and often have a gummy consistency which can appear on the print as shown in the sample images. We simply wiped it off with a damp lens wiper and then used the coater. We did not encounter any dry developer packs. Personally, I'm very happy with the way they turned out. I'm sure that someone more experienced with Polaroid will gain much better results. Please see the sample images.
