The good news: I scored an original Polaroid Minute Maker Land Camera, circa 1977, unopened in box and with the original instruction manual for $2.99 from the new Goodwill this afternoon.
The bad news: I'm pretty sure they stopped making film for this particular camera in the mid-80's.
The plan: Search high and low for both the Type 108 Land film (rectangular) and the Type 88 Land film (square) and hope that if found and affordable, the long expired product doesn't ruin the camera. Should this vintage miracle come to pass, I've found Flashcubes readily available for purchase.
Plan B: For 3 bucks, it's a nice vintage display piece to add to my camera collection.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to let me know if any of you professional thrifters encounter this elusive film in your travels... Its very existence will give me hope in finding some in the future.
Or...you could simply purchase said film for me and be richly rewarded in thrifted gifts... Either way...
