Get Out that Old Polaroid Pack Camera!

We shoulda known this:  
Fuji makes 100-series instant film for use in Polaroid 100-series Pack cameras.
We really thought there was no such film being made. 
The cameras in question are the '60s era folding ones with bellows.
See the B&W film here.
They make color film also.
These cameras are widely available for low prices, and the film is not costly.
We knew about The Impossible Project and the great interest in everything Polaroid, but did not know these great old folding Polaroids could live again.
We found out from watching a DVD of the great Portland, Oregon band Pink Martini: 
bandleader Thomas Lauderdale is shown shooting backstage (and onstage) w/ a battery of Type-100 Polaroid cameras. The DVD has a big selection of his quite-good shots, as does the band's Web site.
