New55 film please

[Andrew O'Neill]

I still have a box of T55... So precious! I'll take a look when they go live on Monday. Who knows, I may support it.

I wonder how many Polaroid 545's we all have. I know I have 3 and maybe more.

I doubt their value will go up as there must be millions of them still around.

The Kickstarter campaign has already raised $45K, so a little bit more than 10% of the way there. Please join in so we can all use this wonderful tool in the future.

I have already made my contribution, but at the current rate of contributions, it's unlikely they will meet their goal. I find that unfortunate as it is a wonderful idea and I would love to use it in my studio sessions, without having to resort to the digital camera for studying light compositions, and being able to show people immediately how they will look. It's expensive, it's true, but I think is worth it.

You'll recoup your investment in new55 by the increase in value of your spare 545 holders.

It will make it. They are right on track. Normal.

I guess it's good to see this, but even at the "goal" of $6 a sheet, you can count me out, ever. For slow b&w work I'd rather just shoot T-Max or whatever at less than 1/3 the cost. I do appreciate what some do with the instant films but I don't see it as a good investment at that price.

I'm still a bit stung that Fuji discontinued the 3000B instant film though. I'm worried that I won't be able to get ANY economical b&w instant film for the times that I do like to shoot it. In comparison, the Fuji is like $1.50 a shot.

I like the idea, but as I posted on another site. I don't think it will see the light of day as a product. Don't get me wrong I'd love to shoot it, but not at $11 a sheet, or even $5. Make it $1-$2 a sheet and I'll buy it all day.
