Polaroid 600 Impulse Grey Instant Camera

The Impulse was Polaroid's first major reimagining of what a 600 instant film camera could be. It features a compact design, making it more convenient to store and, thanks to its binocular-style grips, easier to hold and shoot. It also has a pop-up flash that protects the lens when not in use. 

The Polaroid Impulse is an incredibly versatile instant film camera ready to excel in nearly any situation.

This is a genuine piece of vintage retro tech - refurbished and restored by Retrospekt.

Their perfect blend of form and function may be ageless, but to make sure everything works like new, the team at Retrospekt carefully refurbishes every 600 camera by hand from the inside out. Each camera is cleaned, serviced and tested to ensure their functionality for another lifetime of use.

Authentic Vintage, Guaranteed to Work

This camera has experienced decades of life before finding its way to Retrospekt. As such, it will show some signs of past use and may vary ever so slightly from what is pictured. However, we are extremely picky about the condition of the cameras we restore and the parts we select for the repair process. The end result is an excellent vintage restoration that is guaranteed to work properly. Should any questions arise, we have a team of friendly people ready to help you.

This camera is covered by the Retrospekt Refurbished guarantee.

Polaroid Originals Color Instant Film for 600 Cameras

Color 600 film is the original format instant film for vintage Polaroid 600 cameras (though it works with i-Type cameras too). It captures your photos in a rich spectrum of color, texture and tone, and frames them in that iconic white border which makes every Polaroid a cultural icon. Every photo it creates is unique; unpredictable, imperfect, and impossible to reproduce. You get 8 instant photos in every pack.

Store Chilled

The fridge is your film’s best friend. Temperature affects how Polaroid film works. To keep your film in shape for shooting, we recommend storing it in the fridge (not the freezer) and allowing it to reach room temperature (13-28-degree-C / 55-82-degree-F) before loading it into your camera.

Shoot with the Light

Whether you’re using natural sunlight or a studio set-up, always shoot with the light behind you, or to your side. If you face the camera into the light, your photos can end up dark and blown out. We also recommend to always use the flash to get great results — even if it’s a sunny day.

Develop in the Dark

You need light to get the best photograph, but you need darkness to let it work its magic. When you take a photograph, thousands of chemical reactions take place within that small film frame. To get the best result, let your photograph develop face down in a warm area that’s shielded from light.

Compatibility

Compatible with vintage 600 cameras as well a newer models including One Step+, the Polaroid Now, and the Polaroid Lab.

Care for Your Camera

Clean rollers make for clearer photographs. Each Polaroid camera has a set of rollers inside the film door. If these rollers are dirty, the chemistry can’t spread as easily across the film frame. If they look dirty, give them a gentle wipe with a soft, damp cloth.
