As title really, I got a Polaroid 645cl camera in a charity shop for £4.50. Now I wanna now what to check and any other info? Initially I bought it to add to the non working but cool looking camera shelf in living room but now I think I will have a play with it..

I know it takes 600 film and I know it's horrendously expensive.. Are there any other films out there?
 
Get some film and shoot! (funds depending obviously). I LOVE shooting polaroid. I but a couple of packs a month now so my 'stock' builds up in the fridge and then it doesn't feel as expensive shooting with it. :)

That's such a bargain if it works. I wish I could find bargains like that. I am always looking out now for polaroid cameras!
 
Where do you buy the film.. Impossible?
 
Does it need a battery?
 
Or should I say.. Where is or how do you change the battery.??
 
Yeah I get it from the impossible store in Manchester. Their postage online is a killer. A few eBay sellers doing it with free postage though.

The battery is in the film packs so you won't have any power till you insert one. :thumbs:

Do you mean Manchester in us of a?
 
Yep, Manchester, England. I meant postage from Impossible direct was a killer as it comes from Europe. Really bumps the price up.
