For Sale FS: Fuji FP-100C Instant Pack Film

[skorpiius]

I've been holding onto this film for some time and have realized that the speed I'm going through it is far slower than I anticipated and I don't want the quality to degrade before I can use it. Therefore I've decided to sell some of it and I wanted to offer it here before heading over to the "Big E"

I'm selling 3 packs

The film is expired in 2018 and has been stored in a unheated room that ranges from cool in the summer to downright cold in the Canadian winter, but not refrigerated.

It is all from one shipment of 100 packs purchased at one time shortly after the discontinuation announcement was made.

FP-100C contains 10 colour photos for Polaroid Land pack film cameras.

Some photos taken 9 months ago

And some photos taken today July 15, 2020

Oh, and although this probably isn't needed on this site, here's a guide of what you can use with this film:

Hi Chris,

Welcome to your first sale

I still have some packs but my stock is dwindling down. If you are ever interested in bundling 10 packs for a more reasonable price let me know. Were you able to keep them refrigerated?
Best,

Noémi

I have an 5 year old box not refrigerated. What are the developing criteria to get the best results?

Right now I'm just feeling out the market I guess, but stay tuned for possible further discounts!

I have an 5 year old box not refrigerated. What are the developing criteria to get the best results?

For my film 2 yrs past the expiry date I follow the box development times as normal, but adjust my camera settings as detailed below:

I find instant film degradation is a two step process. First the sensitivity degrades, then the colours.

With the 2 yr past the expiry date film I currently have, I set the ISO to 75 (there's no 100 option on my camera, the next up is 150). and then on the front where you can adjust darkness I have it 2/3 of the way from 'normal' to max' lighten and that seems to work perfectly.

The problem with me saying that is I suspect battery age affects this and the cameras themselves being 40+ years old probably have light sensors that have also degraded so others may have totally different results. In fact it wouldn't surprise me if the film is actually the same sensitivity as normal but the camera's light sensors have just lost sensitivity over time.

I've also decided to sell a pack via ebay auction, feel free to check that out in the My Ebay Listings forum.
