Review on Polaroid Originals Black & White Film for I-Type: 12 Pack, 96 Photos (6090) by Wagner Witlin

I noticed that quite a few reviewers say they had problems with the film being distorted and simply defective among other things. And without neglecting their personal experience, I want to say that out of the dozens and dozens of packs I've bought, I've only had one defective pack of film. I've bought these film packs from other sources as well, including Revain (yes), Wal-Mart, and the Polaroid website itself. And with the somewhat embarrassing amount of film I've bought during my Polaroid adventures, I've rarely ever had one Problem with the film itself. With that in mind, I would like to offer a few tips for preserving your Polaroid film without complaint: 1. Chill the film before use as film always works best. DO NOT FREEZE, although I've never done it myself I definitely wouldn't recommend doing it as freezing things that aren't meant to be frozen isn't usually a good thing. Note that these sheets of film contain temperature and other sensitive chemicals, so take good care of your film! DO NOT SHAKE THE PHOTOS! I know a lot of people think it helps to "dry out" or help your photo develop faster, but that's no good at all. It is likely that this will ruin the chemical process in the foil that develops your photo and it can become distorted and ruined so please do not shake the polaroid. Instead, just let it grow in the dark and out of direct sunlight, which brings me to my final tip. After extracting, turn your photo over so it's not facing the sun. After that, put it in your pocket, bag or any other dark place where you can keep a photo that protects from the sun's rays. This ensures that your photos develop optimally. In general, as long as you store your film properly and put it through the proper development process, it should generally be completely intact and in good condition. View photos. Happy shooting!
