    Unreal! This is indeed magic news!

    Simon, Ilford/Harman are standing by their clients.
    I can't speak for others of course, but I can assure you at least one of the clients is standing by you folks!
    Cheers

    Boy, oh boy! Bush is gone and maybe, just maybe, Polaroid is not. My kind of week. Thanks, Simon.

    But surely they aren't just bringing back SX-70!

    Of all Polaroid films, SX-70 (for image manipulation), 669 (for emulsion transfer), and Type 55 (B&W) are three most distinct ones and the importance to me are also in that order. I am glad SX-70 is the planned one.

    That's funny, I love it.

    As for Simon and Harmon/Ilford, I feel the need to say thanks for lots of things not only this. The commitment they have continued to give us is phenomenal in the past and the present. This news on top of what seems like only a month ago that they bought/acquired/merged w/ Kentmere is two very big steps up the latter. Awesome! As soon as I find one of my personal friends that isn't bored to tears with me talking about photography, what I have learned and they couldn't give a crap about, I will raise a glass for a toast.

    Until then,
    CHEERS!

    Put me down for a case, my sx70 is ready to roll

    I'll send you a PM to see if there is anything you would like us to do to help (free homepage notice or ads to help with visibility). Awesome news from an inspiring company, I hope it comes to fruition.

    Is it? SX-70 type hasn't been produced for years; I bet the machinery is for 600 type. I hope they will make 600 type, which, by the way, also fits SX-70, but has a higher ISO. That would make it more versatile: useable in the 600-type cameras "as-is", and useable in the SX-70 cameras with an ND filter.

    Still, we'll just have to wait and see, I guess.

    The plant in Enschede has no coating facilities. They became the rolls from the USA company.
    So, just making the pod and assembling is what they do.
    Ilford is a strong partner in case of coating. Without coated paper the assembling line won't work. I think this is good opportunity for both. Let's hope for the type 55... But that's a complete other story. But not "Impossible" :rolleyes:.

    Release, the best you can do...
