Analog film - the attempt to save Polaroid film
Well, I know analog guru Jim Williams was disturbed that he would not be able to get Polaroid film for his oscilloscope camera. Jim is an analog guy, after all, so he does not typically use digital scopes where you can take a screen shot. He does have a big stash of film in his freezer. Now there may be hope for the industrial and medical Polaroid films, there are companies that will keep supplying them,. But consumers and professional photographers have been left out in the cold. So I was delighted to see that a comp any is trying to keep Polaroid film in production. From the press release I received a few days ago:.
The Impossible Project saved the last Polaroid film production plant in The Netherlands in 2008 and was since then re-inventing a new Instant Film for Polaroid Cameras.
On March 22 we will present our first new instant film for Polaroid cameras under our own brand+ reveal the first images taken on our new film by international photographers.
The current Polaroid licensee will be attending to discuss the future of Polaroid Photography; Barbara Hitchcock, former director of The Polaroid Collections, will be here too.
So if you like the joy of and instant analog picture, take heart, there may be film for that camera of yours. It makes me sorry I sold my SX70 a few years ago.
