How expired does 669 have to be to get this color?

On eBay I see unopened 669 that expired in 2002, some 2005, etc. But for the look I'm going for above, what year of expiration should I be searching for? Im afraid to buy something so expired that it doesnt print any exposure or comes out too flat. Also, can the Polaroid 600se camera use this film? Thanks!

What I think is you only need some luck!

You will never know how these were stored. Some 2002 can give better results than 2005 (expiry dates) according to storage condition. You just have to buy something and see, it may not even work as well (pods can dry out, chemicals die)...

As far as I know, this should be pack film and not compatible with 600 cameras. You need pack film compatible camera (Polaroid land 100, 400, etc...).

Ahh I see about the expiration dates, thank you. What do you mean I need pack film compatible cameras? The Polaroid 600SE is pack film compatible and typically shoots FP-100c pack film. The photographer in this example writes that he uses 669 with the 600se.

From Wikipedia:

600 SE film options
This camera uses all Polaroid 3 ¼ × 4 ¼ instant pack films, including: 669 and 690 film (color prints); 664 and 667 film (B&W prints). (Note: Polaroid 665 film has been discontinued.). Even though Polaroid films are no longer available, the Fujifilm instant pack film in sizes 85×108mm can be used, which are available in colour (FP-100C) and black and white (FP-100B, FP-400B, FP-3000B).[2] The numbers in the product names indicate the respective film speeds.

Am I missing something?

You are not missing something. I did miss it

When you said 600 I thought it is different camera (ones using 600 film like current Impossible project films).

Got it, thanks for the verification! I will buy a bunch of 669 on eBay and return with results. Have a good day!

Wish you will get what you want, or maybe better
