I just noticed this which resembles a tiny enlarger for printing onto Instant Film with a Smartphone as both image source and light head.

Maybe it's not new, as I think I have seen one before and I know Polaroid had something like up it in both 4X5 and 8X10.

Polaroid, Vivitar, and Daylab had various offerings for copying prints, printing from 35mm sildes, etc, but not smartphone version AFAIK. Impossible was announcing / advertising the Instant lab for a while.

Looks like it has a lens inside. $250 is not crazy Impossible, considering what Polaroid 405's can sell for.

Party favors, I guess!

Or selfies forever. I really hate that word, 'selfie'. painful to hear or write, but those darn kids these days...LOL

Impossible's Instant Lab has been around for about three years. They are fun, but the film is pricey, about $3 per shot. Fuji has an Instax printer for smart phones that sells for about $200. The film is about a third the price of Impossible.

I would never use it.
