5.0 out of 5 stars Black & White is great for instant art!, August 17, 2000

This review is from: Polaroid 600 Black and White Single Pack Film (Electronics)

I have found that nothing is quite like a black & white image when it comes to capturing still life shots. I have used Polaroid film for a number of shots before. Polaroid is great for getting an instant image and to quickly know you got the shot. I was pleased to find out that they now have a black & white version of their film! I found the image to be crisp and clear, with good definition. The pictures really pop! I would recommend it to anyone with an artistic eye who uses instant cameras.

5.0 out of 5 stars Please bring back 600 B&W polaroid film!, September 16, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Polaroid 600 Black and White Single Pack Film (Electronics)

I searched high and low for this film to no avail, so decided to call customer service to inquire how I can obtain this hard to find film. They informed me that they've stopped making it! It's such a shame because Polaroids shot in black and white are so much more distinctive than color. Please write to them and ask them to manufacture it again!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Alternate Film for your Polaroid:), February 22, 2004

This review is from: Polaroid 600 Black and White Single Pack Film (Electronics)

It seems that 99.5% of Polaroid users go with the standard color film. However, many of those users, including myself until last year, didn't know that B&W film even existed.
The B & W film is "faster"--it captures moving images with better clarity. It also captures a wider light range than the color film.
However, in everyday use, the B & W film is great for taking photos that have to be faxed. The details come through and the people on the receiving end don't have to guess what the photo subject was. Doesn't matter if you're in real estate, electronics, news, whatever. The same is true of scanning. B & W takes a LOT less memory and time AND provide a sharper image than the color photos. (There is a long technical reason for this, but just take my word for it....)
The worst part about this film is that....it's difficult to find. Most major retailers don't carry it (Fred Meyer/Kroger Group, Wal-Mart, Best Buy) and many don't know that it exists. Best way to find it is on-line.
