Instant film demise?
I believe (only half listening!) I heard on the radio that Polaroid are ceasing making instant film. Is this so? Dennis

It is unfortunately true Dennis. I have known for quite some time now, Polaroid used to be one of my clients and am still in touch with some of the staff.
In the past I have experimented with transfers, emulsion lifts, SX-70 manipulations etc. I was even out and about at the weekend with my 4x5 shooting some 665 neg/pos film.
Lets just hope that someone like Fuji obtains a licence and continues production.

Instant film demise
On the B.B.C. 10-00p.m. news last night they said that camera production was to end. Nothing about film though but I don't doubt what the previous posters have said.
