So where does that leave them and us?
Anyways, Fuji's 120 stock will do for the moment, but I just want (non pack) 4x5 more than anything else.
It doesn't really make any difference with regard to instant film, I don't think they had an plans to revive that regardless. Everyone will continue doing what they're doing at the moment, which is hoarding film, switching to fuji, and buying instax cameras for the 600/spectra users
For the diehards, then there's allways polapremium if you want to be patronised and ripped off all at the same time.I've only discovered Polaroid recently and all.. I'd read they were launching new products. I wonder what on earth they could offer that's not already out there though.
Their new product is a technology called 'zink' which looks like nothing more than an overblown dye-sublimation printer. You plug your digital camera into and it prints "polaroid instant prints !!!!" (hurrah) in about 5 minutes, and then the battery dies apparently after about 5 shots. So its in many respects a gigantic step backward from 600 film but what can you do ?0 -

Fuji's 4x5 attempt dosn't stretch too far - It's a pos only, and it's pack film, T55 comes in singles, with a pos and an incredibly nice neg (iso 35, and you get that lovely border). Pack film is a pain in the ass, along with needing a different back altogether.
Come on Fuji! Get yer act together!!!
And yep, looking at 130ish for a pack. And muggins here still orders it.
Less than 10 years ago, it was about 15 quid for a pack and all.0 -
