Unfortunately they have stopped producing FP-3000B film few years back. But still you can find these in market today.

Sadly it looks like Fuji has finally decided to stop production of FP-100c film too. This has disappointed thousands of Polaroid fans who use pack film cameras and this type of film.

  1. I also have one of that Polaroid Automatic 420 Land cameras which use peel-apart film. It’s been converted so I can use FujiFilm FP-100c Instant Film packs. But Fuji no longer makes this type of film and what’s available in the market becoming expensive. I don’t buy these packs anymore since I can’t afford those. It’s really sad to see these last of the Polaroid vintage instant cameras become obsolete one by one. I guess this is what happens to Spectra film too since Polaroid Originals has stopped making it. Soon there will be film available only for Polaroid 600 and Polaroid SX-70 cameras.
