==Cameras== [[Image:Polaroid Highlander Model 80A (John Kratz).jpg|left|thumb|upright|A Highlander rollfilm camera made from 1957 to 1959.]] ===Roll film=== The original cameras folded into the body and used [[Bellows (photography)|bellows]] to protect the light path. The film was put on two spools, one with the negative roll, and one with the positive paper and reagent pods. The film developed inside the camera. The exception to this is the [[Polaroid Swinger]], a hard-bodied roll-film camera whose film was pulled out of the camera body to develop outside the camera. The film for roll-film cameras was discontinued in 1992. ===100 Series Pack cameras=== These cameras were developed after the rollfilm models and were designed to use the newly developed 100 series pack film. As with the Swinger the film sandwich was pulled out of the camera to develop outside of the camera, but instead of two separate rolls the film was built into a compact easy loading film pack which contained 8 exposures. Hard body plastic models were marketed later a low cost alternative to the more expensive models with bellows. There are four generations of folding colorpack cameras: the 100, the 200, the 300, and 400 series. Polaroid announced in 2008 the discontinuation of all of its film by 2009, and Fujifilm stopped producing pack film in 2016. [[Polaroid B.V.]] manufactures and sells Polaroid integrative type film for 600 and SX-70 cameras. In September 2019, Spectra/Image film was discontinued.<ref>{{Cite web|title=An important message about our Spectra film|url=https://us.polaroid.com/blogs/news/spectra-announcement|access-date=2020-09-03|website=Polaroid US|language=en-us}}</ref> Meanwhile, Bob Crowley, New55, the investor David Bohnett and Florian Kaps, known as the founder of Impossible Project (now Polaroid B.V.), managed to produce packfilm for the folding colourpack cameras under the label New55.{{Clarify|reason=Confusing sentence|date=August 2020}} New55 FILM ended operations on December 31, 2017.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.new55.net/#|title = Welcome new55.net}}</ref> Supersence (also founded by Florian Kaps) currently produces single-shot packs handmade from original 8x10 film manufactured by [[Polaroid Corporation|Polaroid]] named ONE INSTANT.<ref>{{Cite web|title=One Instant|url=https://supersense.com/oneinstant/|access-date=2020-09-03|website=supersense.com}}</ref>
