I shot some Agfapan 400 which expired in 1988 ! It was a little flat and base foggy but actually pretty respectable on the contacts-I'll just need to go up a grade or two when I print it. A bargain at 40p a roll [120 format]
Last weekend, Kodak TMAX 100 (also known as "100TMX"), a film which is unobtainable in my city.
Today either HP5 or Neopan Acros.
1 cartridge of Kodacolor II in 110
1 cartridge of Kodacolor 400 in 110
Family Photo time!
Hope it is good family Christmas time Stone.
Guess you are too young to remember when the Kodak stuff arrived on Christmas day in a package labelled "Open Me First".
A pack of Fuji FP-100c.
I managed to clean a path to my photography equipment in the spare room. I used a Polaprinter I bought a few years ago to make some prints of my paternal Grandfather's slides for my mother. This is the first time I've used this Polaprinter, and it has all the signs of having never been used before I purchased it.
Why would you want to see pictures of the messy spare room? LOL.
Basically, it's simply taking an instant picture of a slide.
You put a slide in the unit and press a button. A shutter opens and a strobe (flash) fires, projecting the slide onto instant film (obviously a lens is involved). Then pull out the photo as you would any pack-film camera.
Here's a video of a Vivitar unit (I have one) but it doesn't show her actually using it:

The vivitar has three color filter sliders.
Here are a couple pages for the Polaprinter:

The polaprinter has brightness and contrast dials.
There are also the Daylab units:

The Impossible Project's Instant Lab is similar in concept.
Now, I think I know what you're thinking... I'm sure you could use an enlarger to expose on a pack-film back. This might allow a bit more control than the dedicated units, but you're stuck with existing instant film sizes. It might not be worth the hassle, unless you want to enlarge a crop (croplarging?).
