Rediscover the Polaroid Camera at Polagraphy
These days it’s all about retro, and the once-dying Polaroid camera has made a comeback thanks to snap-happy hipsters. It’s not too late to get in on the movement. Just head to Polagraphy, a newly-opened analog camera store and cafe on artsy and hip Shaoxing Lu. Owned by Weilai Lu, a 27-year-old Polaroid fanatic from Shanghai, the store carries more than 200 models of Polaroid cameras and vintage Leicas, plus other antique SLRs Lu has collected in Europe since 2006. Most of the cameras are singular in stock; prices vary from a few hundred to tens of thousands of renminbi. Compatible film, fun postcards and T-shirts, as well as Polaroid art, can also be found at the store.

Fujifilm manufacturers instant film for Polaroid style cameras. On a side note, if you wish to buy any classic SLR make sure you or your wingman can evaluate the light meter. For rangefinders such as old Leicas it's much more complicated. If the the RF device is bad you could be taken, big time. BTW I have no experience with this seller and am offering general advice only.
So who's making polaroid film now? Thought it was discontinued a few years back?
