    Polaroid comes back in 2010?!

    Hey everyone,

    Just wanted to pass on the link that the impossible project plans on producing film in the new year. I was wondering if any others out there know if they will be putting out 4x5 film?

    It's been discussed many times. As I understand it, they are only coming out with the instant print film ala the SX-70, not with peel-apart materials such as was used with 4x5. I like the Fuji stuff in any case for 4x5 peel-apart materials. What would excite me is the return of Type 55 positive/negative film. But I don't see that as in the works.

    Wrong date: it's 2012, when the Mayan calendar rolls over, and time reverses. Mirror images will be de rigueur in fashionable circles!
