A friend reminded me that Roidweek Spring 2022 will start next sunday, April 24th

All lovers of instant photography, Polaroid or Fuji and if anyone still has peel apart film can take part.

Check here for rules and to get ispirations from the latest editions : https://www.flickr.com/groups/roidwe...7721915268772/

A good opportunity to take part in a worlwide event !
 
Hi Dave - it is called Roidweek but any instant film is acceptable. I got lucky and was able to get a 3D printed/frankenstein back made for my mamiya RB67 but there are lots of smaller and travel friendly options out there.

Have a look at the Instax line from Fuji, they are new, inexpensive and readily available in department stores.

Have a look at LynnB's Instax adventures thread for some tips, advice and inspiration.

Oh, the RB67!!! Wow, that is so cool. I wound love to see a photo of that…I wish they (somebody) made one for a Hasselblad H!:)

Yes, Lynn has a great library of Instax photos. Thanks for reminding me.

You guys have way too much fun!!!

Robert, what camera would you recommend for shooting Polaroids?:)

I agree what James says. The Fuji offers is interesting with good quality and affordable price.
Polaroid is more expensive. I never compared the two personally. Lynn has a good experience with his Fuji

James, and Robert, I like your images in both quality and size. What film is that?:)

Hi Dave, this is the Polaroid i-Type Film, B&W. Last gfeneration seems quite good.

The photo with the Bialetti was shot with the in-built flash, you can see the foreground is much brighter.

Not sure which film James uses, but his photo with the tree is very good.
 
Thanks Dave. I am using Polaroid i-type as well.

The flickr algorithm likes roid week, my first and only explore after 12 years on flickr was last years' roid week. Just found out my flower pic made it to explore as well. Every week should be roid week. hahahaha
