Default adapt sx-70 camera?

Hello all,

Given the rotten news about Polaroid discontinuing film production, I'm wondering about how to adapt my sx-70 lanand camera to use Fuji B+W film: http://www.fujifilm.com/products/ins...to/fp100b.html

Any help gratefully received!

Cheers,
Gavin

You can't. Fuji's FP100C/FP100B is a pack film for the polaroid 100 series cameras, not the 600/sx-70 cameras. The pack films are too big.
Likewise the Fuji Instax is somewhat the right shape/size but the pod is on the side - on the long side of the picture not the short side, so you'd not have correct spreading even if you did load instax films into a 600 series pack.
