    The reference by John Sexton is correct. The amount of film that had to be produced was greater than the shelf life of the film at current sales rate. This is the reason Kodak quit making the film in readyload packets. The second reference gives no information or reference that Polaroid is the actual subcontractor for packing.

    It is possible that Kodak might have gone to Polaroid and had readyloads made, but the Polaroid equipment is not designed for this type of packing. It could be modified with dies to cut and FAMS (Film Assembly Machines) modified for such work. I would guess what you say is possible, but from the Sexton article and the supposition on the LFF, I would say that there is no proof.

    This is good news. To me it represents a real and sincere interest at Ilford/Harmon to get analog photography back on an evolutionary track.

    Good luck.

    I know Impossible has chosen to concentrate its efforts on SX-70 (and 600?), but is there a possibility of reviving Spectra as well?
