Dana,
Actually, I think I asked the question: "Does Polaroid still make its
own film?"
I wanted to know because after the bankruptcy and the acquisition, the
new owners of polaroid were selling off or
closing every manufacturing division. They were also licensing the
'Polaroid' trademark to anyone willing to pay. It led to some
strange and comical products with a Polaroid brand: DVD players,
batteries, CF cards - even Polaroid branded 35mm film.
Perhaps Harmon or Fuji will be interested in picking up the Polaroid
manufacturing lines. Polaroid has a plant in the Netherlands,
maybe that would be a good fit for Harmon? Polaroid is closing 4 or 5
plants worldwide. Perhaps current and projected demand
would be enough to keep one or two plants operating at profitable
volumes...

It wasn't that many weeks ago that we asked Kodak
if they still made their film in-house (they answered yes).
