I tried out the Fuji FB-3000B instant peel-apart film in my Polaroid 320. Not so excited. I prefer the 100c.
I got several image artifacts (light leaks in the pack or camera, maybe more than with 100c due to the higher sensitivity?). Exposure was also way off: the first 2 pictures were underexposed by 2 stops. When I increased exposure, the next pictures were overexposed. In the end I settled on no exposure compensation for the brightness control, which was about right (but 2 stops under at the start). Strange.
The images shown here are scans of the negatives. In contrast with the 100c negatives you can't wash & bleach these, so you have to scan them as reflective material. This makes you lose a lot of detail in the shadows. The highlights are preserved better and the images are also sharper than what you would get if you just scanned the picture itself. The biggest problem is keeping the negatives from touching anything (especially dust!) whilst they are drying.
The rest of the images is available on Google+
