Seems like a long shot. I hope they can do it.

Thanks for posting.

They seem to have a decent marketing person. They seem to be keeping up an optimistic front. I wish them well.

Me too! - but let's face it, apart from a small band of eccentrics - instant pictures are now achieved by sticking that card reader into the P.C.and......bingo!

You're going to have to "face it" alone, Dave. I'm part of that small band of eccentrics. Unfortunately The Impossible Project is not going to address my needs no matter how successful they are. It is a lonely life being on the far end of eccentric.

i'd love some sheet film, so would my 545 holder. and some 672 for fun. not much chance of such use being a target market for the pola's resurrection, i guess.

Nope... not a chance. But since we are dreaming: T-52 for S-M-O-O-T-H B&W and T-59 for Polaroid transfer!

Thanks, your site is interesting. Let's hope it works. I'd certainly be a customer. Even the Polaroid B&W had something that the Fuji, which I love, thank God there are still here, doesn't quite have. This is Polaroid from 1964:
