 @a3e2a07b @2a744445 @7ec25196 I can confirm there are no more films for Polaroid Land Cameras nowadays, unfortunately. Which is a pity : these cameras were amazing and the result too. 
 @a3e2a07b did you have a chance to test the SX-70 camera ? This one is especially good in all its features and give very beautiful pictures. I could’t use mine for years until now because of the lack of films compatibility but I just receive the filter necessary for the Polaroid 600 films. Have to cut it to fit the 600 cartridge now… (Thanks again to @e22169b8 for his help on this topic.)
Hope to see more of your Polaroid shoots soon ! 
 Morning work. 
Still following the guidance of @e30c8217 @44a1dc8c and the #emulsionliftgang. 
I noticed two things : 
1. when the water is too hot (I put my film in nearly boiling water), the film become wrinkled, sticky and brittle. That’s how I failed my lifts. A water near 80°C is better.
2. pre-soak the watercolour paper in the cold water tray and then just pull the corner of the lift towards you in the hot water tray. Easy. 1/2

 @e30c8217 thank you so much : your method shared with #emulsionliftgang is by far the best. The 1 hour old Polaroid soaked in boiling hot water lifts within seconds 👍
Plus, there is less waste than with other techniques and the precious layer is transparent as wanted. I only lost 1 picture of 4, which has a big missing part due to low precaution during manipulations.
Here are the 3 other results. All are pictures of torn posters on the city walls.
