Picture taken with new SX-70 film
We’ve just had an update that the new Polaroid film manufacturers over at The Impossible Project have got their first batch of Polaroid film ready for sale. Unfortunately for us, the first batch is for the SX-70 cameras, however they’ve stated that film for the Polaroid 600 cameras will be available by the end of April.
As you can see from the picture above, the new film will be monochrome: ‘Other than the highly standardized, traditional Polaroid film, the Impossible Film offers a new, broad range of possibilities, fresh characteristics and results – individual just as you are. The “colors” of this monochrome material range from dark brown greenish hues and deep brown or dark red contrast to either high contrasty or soft yellow orange or greyish hues.’
What that means in practice is that the photos themselves will vary enormously in colour and shades of grey. However there’s no denying that the pictures taken by the test photographers are beautiful, as displayed in the online gallery.
As yet there is no confirmation of when we can expect colour film to be available, but watch this space for news!
And don’t forget, if your wedding or party celebration is coming up soon, the Fuji Instax Photo Guest Book Albums and packages are a fanastic alternative to Polaroid.
