hello friend do you know how i can achieve a polaroid look with modern c41 film?? i think that a good portra film nc with 1 stop pull processing is similar....
I'd not pull any c41 film. Simply rate it a tad faster than box speed, e.g. 200 if the box speed is 160, and you'll get a more washed out colour rendition. You might also keep an eye out for outdated c41 films. (assuming that I understand what you mean by 'polaroid look'...)
You might have a look at my stuff on the rollei digibase film, the maskless c41 stuff. It reminds me a wee bit of outdated polaroid.
Do you have an example of exactly what you are looking for? Polaroid does have many looks to it? 600, 669, 690, 664, Vivia, SX-70, Spectra...the list goes on and on.

Note that I am not the OP, but I think he is going for the Type 108/669 look...washed-out undersaturated colors, "crappily" processed (a term, not an opinion), and an overall look that I can only call "vintage". The best idea would be to overexpose slightly, and use a very undersaturated film (Fuji 160S or
Reala).
I've had the same question in my mind. What current film is close to 59/669/809?
Pastel - yes, that's a good description. Understaturated? Ummm, not really. I think neutral is a more accurate description. Neutral but rich. If overexposed, then yes, it would be washed out. But if properly exposed and developed, Polaroid was the most beautiful color film I have ever seen.
