Vintage camera Question: Does anyone know if Fuji Instax film(Wide) will work in a Kodak Colorburst 50 camera?
I found an old camera helping my parents clean out a storage space they want to get rid of; a Kodak Colorburst 50. The camera appears to be fine, nothing externally wrong from what I can tell; I know it takes a J battery that I can easily get a a local battery store.
What's not so easy as anyone old enough to remember this and similar cameras knows is that the exact PR-10 film is no longer produced becuase of a lawsuit Kodak lost against Poloroid. Thus my question; presuming the camera with a good J battery still works does anyone know if Fuji Instax pack film (Wide) will work with the Kodak colorbust 50 I have.
In general is there any pack film sold in the U.S. or elsewhere that will work with this Kodak instant camera?

In a word, no.
Instax is for Instax cameras. Kodak only made instant film for a short while before Polaroid sued them (as you read about) and no other film has been made for their instant film cameras. This renders Colorbusts useless for actual shooting in 2013. They make good conversations pieces only unfortunately!
If you want to shoot instant film, buy a Fuji Instax. They have a number of models to choose from such as the recently announced Instax 90 that looks more like a vintage rangefinder camera. The experience and results of using a new instant camera are pretty much identical to using a vintage one so you won't be missing out on anything.
