I heard a rumor that some place in China may pick up production, but that's just a rumor so I wouldn't buy into that just yet.
I didn't exactly hear that -- I heard that some place in China bought some of the equipment. I never heard if it was destine to a recycling plant, or a manufacturing plant. I also heard (but can't remember where) that osme of the Polaroid coating equipment made its way into a plant taht manufactures solar cells and is being used to coat those devices.
Personally, I've given up the dream of T-55 ever coming back and will be displaying my old T-55 negs in the display case right beside the dagerreotypes, ambrotypes, and ferrotypes.
Anyone have any idea what http://www.polapremium.com is about?

I can't wait to find out. Maybe I'll retract my statment that I have given up hope.

Now I'm REALLY getting excited!
Just from another online forum, but no info there either from the other poster.
Fuji just announced selling Instax film and cameras in North America. These should be in stores soon. I think this gives a little more hope of Fuji increasing their product offerings in North America.
I seriously doubt any positive/negative peel apart film will appear again. I still have one pack of 665, though now I am unsure whether to use it, or even what to shoot with it.
