i just bought a 600 business edition and what joyful feeling...even though the 600 film is rare and expensive in indonesia, but i do not regret buying my polaroid
I worked there for 35 years, in W3,W1,R5...Believe me there was NO better place to work!!!It was like being in a city and all yourfriends were there. I started at 19 in 1967, and left in 2002. Most of my friends are the ones i grew up with at Polarioid, and we are still friends after all these years!!!
What a great piece of work. I had imagined Polaroid as a dead company over the past few years, but I was wrong. The people here are so passionate about what they had seen and done. The Polaroid of old maybe gone, but the legacy is not.
I wonder what Edwin Land would think of all us young-ins desperately looking to find film today and the people in Europe trying to resurrect the Integral film factory.
what a shame. the saddest thing is that there are tons of instructional videos on here on how to make a digital polaroid in photoshop.... jesus. i bet the irony is completely lost on them. oh yeah i still shoot polaroid.
i was told that polaroid sold the rights to another company (maybe fujifilm) to carry on making the film to fit polariod cameras...... anyone know if thats true, i know fujifilm have their own instant film and cameras which are not been discontinued
think of the VOID polaroid will be leaving behind...
what about all the ppl who use polaroids to take photos of kids with the easter bunny or santa? or ppl in the fashion industry? who wants to deal with printing a photo when you can get the image instantly?
you can't recreate the look of a polaroid. not even in photoshop. nothing digital comes remotely close to the QUALITY, 1-of-a-kind image you get with a polaroid.think of what creative works we will be deprived of in the future.
Thank you so much for this wonderful dedication to the people of Polaroid. My father is featured in your video and his last day of work after 42 years is March 21st.
My father worked at Polaroid in Waltham for my entire childhood. This video was touching and I'm thankful that someone took the time to put it together.
Great job....

This is really sad.
Polaroid made unique and wonderful photography products for almost 60 years - sunglasses and other things before that.
I think there's still a niche market out here that will seek and buy the film - if only someone will pick up the manufacture of it.
