I was instantly attracted to this cheesey product and spent 60sec. over at their site to see if anything would develop.

I'd just like to find film for my old SX-70 series cameras as illustrated. There is a company reproducing the film after buying the equipment and process, but they sell in Europe mainly.

Thanks all. I knew of the Impossible Project company. I think I'll wait for my next European vacation and track down some film when I'm in Paris. From what I gather they had to reproduce the film chemistry with some guessing because patents still apply and didn't come with the factory. It isn't quite what Polaroid used to make, but close.

And those PIC300's are rebadged Fuji cameras. I already have a Fuji.

If I use this do I have to wave the cheese around for a minute before I eat it! :lol: :coolsmile:
