Polaroid Go Color Film - - Review

As someone who loves capturing memories in the form of printed photographs, I was excited to try out the Polaroid Go Color Film double pack. I had recently purchased the Polaroid Go camera, which is the only camera that uses this specific film format, so I was eager to see how well it worked. Overall, I am pleased with the results, but there are definitely some things to keep in mind when shooting with this film.

First off, let me start with the packaging. The double pack comes with 16 color instant photos, which are framed in glossy white. I appreciated the sleek and minimalist design, as it fits well with the Polaroid brand identity. The packaging was easy to open and the film itself was easy to load into the camera. The film is small in size, about half the size of regular Polaroid film, which makes it perfect for on-the-go shooting and travel.

When it comes to shooting with this film, there are a few tips to keep in mind. The first being to store the film chilled in the fridge, but never freeze it. This is important because temperature affects how the film works, and keeping it cold helps preserve the quality of the film. However, it is also important to let the film adjust to room temperature before shooting, as this can also affect the outcome of the photo.

In terms of shooting with light, the more light in your shot, the better your photo will turn out. Instant film loves light, especially natural light. Use the flash for all your indoor photos. This was something I really had to keep in mind, as some of my indoor photos turned out a bit too dark or grainy without the flash. However, when I used the flash, the colors really popped and the photos looked much better.

Finally, when it comes to developing the photos, it is important to shield them from the light and place them face down for 6 minutes as they develop. This can be a bit tricky, especially if you’re shooting on-the-go, but it’s worth it for the end result. All photos appear blank at first, but they’re most sensitive during this time, so don’t bend or shake them.

Now onto the actual quality of the photos. Overall, I was pleased with the color accuracy and vibrancy of the photos. They have a classic Polaroid feel to them, but with a modern twist due to the smaller size. The glossy white framing was a nice touch, as it made the photos stand out and look more polished. However, it is important to note that the smaller size does come with some drawbacks. For one, the amount of detail captured in each photo is a bit less than what you would get with regular Polaroid film. Additionally, the small size can make it difficult to see smaller details in the photos, so it’s important to keep that in mind when framing your shots.

When it comes to price, the Polaroid Go Color Film double pack is definitely on the pricier side. However, it’s important to remember that this film is exclusive to the Polaroid Go camera, so there aren’t any alternative options available. Additionally, the smaller size of the film means that you’ll likely be taking fewer photos per pack, which can impact the overall value for some people.

In conclusion, I would definitely recommend the Polaroid Go Color Film double pack to anyone who has the Polaroid Go camera and enjoys shooting instant film. While there are some limitations due to the smaller size of the film, the overall quality and color accuracy is impressive. If you’re willing to spend a bit extra for the convenience and exclusivity of this film, it’s definitely worth trying out. Just remember to keep in mind the tips for shooting with this film, and you’ll end up with some great memories captured in physical form.
