Hmmmm...What Is This I Hear?


Can it be? A rescue bid begins for Polaroid instant film! I'll believe it when it's official. Looks like an eccentric Austrian artist and businessman named Florian Kaps who has dedicated the past five years to instant photography and has set up the largest Polaroid gallery on the net and the first Polaroid-only gallery in Vienna (Polanoir) has taken it upon himself to fight for the future of instant film. Here is the exciting part. He is working with Ilford, and supposedly the machinery is in place to produce film of two exposure types, each compatible with both the classic SX-70 cameras and the 600 series.

Hazzah!!!!!
