Best Answer: That sounds about right. They are not worth much of anything anymore. Film is no longer made for them so why would you buy one. I am not overly familiar with the different models. Some may be worth more but most of them are worth between $20-$50 tops. - David M

Actually there is a replacement film for it - I use Fuji's replacement for Type 669 film, FP-100C, and I've found it works quite well after initial compensations for different ISO (Type 669 is 80 ISO and FP-100C is 100 ISO ~1/3rd of a stop difference. Not too big). I use my Polaroid Land Camera 100 and The Reporter on a very regular basis with FP-100C. If it were the cameras that use integral films, it would be a completely different story, but the Land Camera 100 series, 200 series, 300 series, and 400 series all can use the FP-100C film quite well. While my Polaroid Land Camera 100 was bought at a thrift store for $10 pretty much with everything you've mentioned, $20 is actually a pretty decent price. I've used them quite extensively lately - I've been working on Emulsion Lifts quite a lot lately. Film is still available for them. If it wasn't, I'd not be working on emulsion lifts. - Steven W
