I am giving away my Polaroid Now I-Type camera and a fresh pack of film.

🚨 The winner will be announced in the October 2023 Community Letter. You’re welcome to upload images and post comments, but the draw is now closed. Thank you for posting!

Polaroid Now I-Type is a pretty instant film camera in white and red with the classic rainbow logo. It shoots the famous 3.5×4” instant film format and comes in a neat box.

It can be yours! To win, post your favourite instant photo in the comments and write a few words about it.

I understand that you may not already have an instant film camera (which is why winning this one can be nice!) Thus, any film photo is good; it doesn’t have to be instant, but please limit this to a single analogue photograph.

I will select a winner at random and contact them (maybe you!) via email on October 31, 2023.

The camera I am giving away was gently tested to write this review and is in like-new condition. The film pack that comes with it (I-Type Color) is brand new; I am storing it in the fridge for ultimate freshness. This package includes everything you need to start shooting instant film. And I will pay for shipping. ❤️

Please let your film-shooting friends know. Good luck!

I don‘t own any Instax cameras, and a year ago I bought my daughter a Fuji Instax mini. But Polaroid is a different story :) I really like this machine.

This picture is almost twice analog. It’s an Instax portrait of my sons during our holiday in Denmark. Then I took a picture of the polaroid on some 35mm slide film. And yes, then I cheated, because I scanned it ;-)

Here‘s a of my favourite building to photograph, an old radio station from the 1930’s. It‘s located in the middle of nowhere, and it‘s always a bit surreal to come out of the forest to a clearing and see this concrete cathedral, as it‘s nicknamed. The pink novelty film makes it even more out of this world.

Beautiful. I love that Polaroid still makes those special edition emulsions.

I shot this photograph of the Mackinac Bridge with a Sinar A-1 on early New55 film. They had issues with their developer pods; sometimes they wouldn’t break. In this case, the failure resulted in a developed picture where the line of the emulsion matched the line of the bridge. I couldn’t take this one again if I tried.

That’s beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

Hard to choose, Dimitri! I’ve decided on this spectra sheet which captures the beautiful tones of expired Polaroid complimenting the buildings and sky.

Beautiful indeed! Too bad they discontinued this format, really wish I tried it when it was available.

I loved the Fuji FP100c peel apart film in old Polaroid pack film cameras until it was discontinued. This abstract was a long exposure of Christmas lights outside using a Polaroid Land Automatic 100.

This photo was taken from my first pack of Polaroid film I shoot in my 636. Nice memories from Lonni’s bday party!

I also don’t have an instant camera (yet).
Here’s a photo I took on damaged Ilford FP4 with a Pentax ME Super.

After saving up for a while, I bought my first 35mm camera, an Olympus Mju. Shortly after, some friends and I went on a trip to Rotterdam in The Netherlands. We took the subway there and really liked the green tinted lighting inside. Not being able to hold back excitement to shoot my first roll of film, my friend took a picture of me mock-shooting my camera on her Instax Mini. It‘s not as technically impressive as some other instant film photos she took that day, but I personally like this one the most :)

Hi Ylli, did you forget to attach a photo?

Yeah, my bad, attempt nr. 2 🙃

Thank you so much 😁
And a lovely story by the way. I still feel the excitement with each new camera, and I’ve tried lots!
