Film Compatibility:
The Polaroid Pronto! B uses Polaroid SX-70 instant film, which is still manufactured today. Each pack contains 8 exposures and includes the battery needed to power the camera.
SX-70 film has a lower ISO than Polaroid 600 film and performs best in bright natural light. For indoor photography or low-light situations, a compatible flashbar is recommended.
Film is sold separately.
