Any Polaroid Fuji B&W Fp-100b users?

At one of my local camera stores they are dumping their inventory
of instant pack film in 4x5 size and the smaller pack size too.
$5 per pack on the smaller, $Forget on the 4x5 size.
No color packs were seen. At the moment I dont have my
old Polaroid 101 or 250 models but I assume this film is compatible. Anyone using Fuji instant films?
I did like the P/N polaroid B&W stuff, it made great negatives, lousy B&W prints...Polaroid color stuff was awful...
Rob.

I use Fuji fp-100c and fp-3000b with great results, Polaroid's films just don't compare to the print quailty I am getting from the Fuji.

I like Fuji's polaroid films a lot.

Right now I'm using the Fuji 400 speed b&w that I get pretty good results when rating at 320.

I use polaroid film mostly for;
a) checking composition when I'm feeling extra ambitious, and
b) for fun (snaps, friends, dog, etc).

I've never been able to rely upon polaroids as a way to check the exposure as the latitude in the polaroid is much different to the slide film that I often like to use in my 'blad.

Here are a couple of Fuji polaroid - scanned as-is:

#1 - Polaroid 664

anything like that with polaroid color film out of my 250
pack camera. Got any shots on Fuji B&W film?

Fuji Color Polaroid, either badged Fuji or re-badged Polaroid is incredible stuff. Color saturation and a nice look, not like the Polaroid stuff I had been used to up until I discovered the Fuji stuff. Left a shot soaking in water over night once, and the emulsion lifted off- making for some fun, too.
