The photo quality and color textures look amazing even on this video. I can only image how great they look in person! Fantastic camera and a great part of history.

What is the price of acitvating the shutter on the camera? the film could not bee to cheap..

[vichiousfishes]

I've heard 1 sheet is $200. I've also heard it's thousands to rent it for the day. But theoretically if you use it you're doing shows with $20,000 a pop sales so it's not that bad. Kinda like a Walmart pays $80,000 a month in electric bills on one store. But they bring in billions.

[aldso]

i want it!

Wow - Just a spectacular camera and in the right persons hands, you have a real knowledge of its history and I would love to be able to commission you for a shot ...

[mccormickstudio]

What a great piece of history. I hope you can still get film and chemistry!

I emailed Ms.Dorfman about a month ago asking her the same question.

Unfortunately, she only has a few boxes of the large format film left and after that all the 20x24 polaroid cameras will become obsolete.

It's very sad that such a great piece of equipment cant be used any longer.

you sound like you're on top of this stuff i.e. well informed. I thought some company was going to start producing Polaroid type film again? Do you know much about it like will this new company make 20x24?

[Alexgeo4975]

Yeah...i emailed elsa asking the same question. She told me that a specialist chemical company MIGHT try to create an emulsion similar to the old large format polaroid. Unfortunantly, it can only be made in small bathces because all the peel-apart polaroid coating machines have been destroyed (the integral film machines are still intact and are on stand-by to recreate SX-70 and 600 film).

The big stuff will be made in VERY small batches basically by hand if its ever made.
