I really love how polaroids work. There's this element of SURPRISE everytime you take a picture. What I loved about it is the quality of the pictures and the fact that you can write on the borders of the photo to make it very "memorable".

It's good that they also gave a box of film (10 pcs) so I can start shooting immediately! However, the film may be very costly Php 525 per box of 10. So every shoot should be really "worth it". You wouldn't waste Php 50 for a terrible shot. Unless, money is not a problem, GO, SHOOT AS MANY FILMS AS YOU LIKE! You can even buy other frames with designs or different lenses. (See links below).
