Can anyone else remember being sent off to the darkroom to process a test sheet of film whilst the boss and the client chatted about cricket?

Hi Simon, could I please have a link to the press release concerning your decision not to manufacture Polaroid materials? I can't seem to find it on your website.

What a bummer. Those Polaroid guys are just a stone's throw from where I'm at. Now I want to go throw stones at them. =P

Sigh...
This is sad to say the least. I would love to know how much of this decision was Polaroid making it too difficult. I'm actually very angry about this - not at Ilford, but at Polaroid.
That jerk who bought the company, just so he could use the logo, is just the worst kind of greedy. I hope that all his illustrious consumer electronic products, with the Polaroid pixel logo slapped on them, are the new Edsels.

Simon,
Thanks to Harmon/Ilford for the analysis. This just reiterates your stated commitment to analog b&w photography.
Best regards,
Bob

Thanks for the update Simon. It's disappointing but so very understandable, we all knew this was a long shot.

It is disappointing news but at least Fuji still make a range of both colour & monochrome peel apart instant films. They are available in both 85 x 108mm and 102 x 131mm (5 x 4). Some may only be available in Japan but they can be ordered from the Megaperls Webshop and probably elsewhere. There is no type 55 emulsion though.

While it's a pity that the materials will probably disappear they only have a very limited appeal in the overall B&W market place. I'm sure Ilford would be better investing in more profitable areas.
