Fucking $23.50 for a pack of 8 films plus S&H I assume. Fuck that shit.

  Nobody is happy about the price of film. My suggestion is that you consider how - for a lover of the format - $4 a shot is a cheap price to pay for something that realistically should no longer exist, and that every pack is a kind of artistic patronage... a tithe to a barely profitable entity run by a skeleton crew that rarely ever even meet the folks that appreciate their efforts. It's a specialty item. Unless you lose your mind over banking fees and the price of artisanal chocolate in a boutique, you might be ignoring the bigger picture: no price is too great for something you love. Shipping new hardware is expensive, risky and very hard... but shipping old hardware is just bonkers because there's no practical upside by any typical investment standard.

  That's actually well within lines of what Polaroid film used to cost, if you adjust for inflation. The last time I bought any (late 80s/early 90s) it was about ten bucks a roll. I'm actually surprised they can sell it that cheap, given that they don't have anything like the economy of scale that Polaroid had in its heyday.
