The bad news first: Polaroid is discontinuing all instant film. The good news is that they'll stop manufacturing it only when they've created enough stock to last through the end of 2009. I'm guessing there's going to be enough of a run on it to produce a perhaps unexpected sales spike, but still not enough to make them change their mind. The press release said Polaroid will concentrate instead on digital media and printers, which is already well covered by quite a few other companies. Seems at best a stopgap measure on the way to final closure.The reliable old Polaroid Impulse here, with standard 600 film.
