Please contact the seller directly as the seller will be in a better position to answer this question. I normally post my cameras within a day and by first class signed for. This will reach the buyer the next day. Hope this answers your question. Best wishes. **Q: What film does this camera require?** A: where would I get the flim what flim does it take my name is tracey **Q: Hi ya, Have u tested it? does it work properly? because I bought one a week ago and it s broken** A: Yes we have tested it and used it with colour photos. You have to put them somewhere dark like in a pocket or under a cushion whilst waiting for the photo to develop. Otherwise its works quite well for a vintage instant photo. Although the quality is not as good as the modern type. **Q: What type of film is used?** A: I think it's called 600 film. Around £20 for 9. ## Frequently Bought Together - Polaroid 636 CL Compact Camera-Instant - Polaroid Instant Color I-Type Film - 40x Film Pack (40 Photos) (6010) - Polaroid Color Film for I-Type Double Pack, 16 Color Instant Photos (6009) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/66066901-polaroid-636-cl-compact-camera-instant](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/66066901-polaroid-636-cl-compact-camera-instant) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
