Polaroid cameras and film news
The company, which stopped making instant cameras for consumers a year ago and for commercial use a year before that, said today that as soon as it had enough instant film manufactured to last it through 2009, it would stop making that, too!. Three plants that make large-format instant film will close by the end of the quarter, and two that make consumer film packets will be shut by the end of the year, Bloomberg News reports!.

The company, which will concentrate on digital cameras and printers, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2001 and was acquired by a private investment company in 2005!. It started in 1937 making polarized lenses for scientific and military applications, and introduced its first instant camera in 1948!.

The Lede remembers fondly how magical it was to watch the image gradually manifest itself from the chemical murk right there in your hand!. But truth be told, the Lede’s own scuffed Polaroid SX-70 camera, which used to get regular use in all manner of situations, from producing a quick step-by-step primer on how to do the Ickey Shuffle to documenting a problem with a house he was buying that cropped up the day before the closing, hasn’t come out of its cabinet drawer in years!.

Loyal users take heart, though — Polaroid said it would happily license the technology to other manufacturers should they want to go on supplying the niche market with film after 2009!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Because Polaroid has officially stopped production of their instant cameras, they see no real need to continue producing the film!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
