   Would be interesting to know. I still have two 545 holders although I am not particularly anxious to use them. I also have one of the earlier holders. I now don't remember what its problem was, maybe the stop for the pull out part, something like that. Anyway, its a museum piece now.
   I was having lunch with a couple of friends a couple of  years ago (pre Virus) when one of them took some snapshots with his cell phone. He then _printed_ them with the phone. I have those pix. Quality was very good.
   I think the concept of the "instant" picture was really never realized by Polaroid.

Impossible Project started out in 2008, but they have rebranded twice since then, and are no longer known by that name.  They first rebranded as Polaroid Originals in 2017.  Then in March 2020 they rebranded again as Polaroid.

No.  The Impossible Project is separate, producing
films for the old SX-70 type cameras and the old
8x10 Polaroid processor in both black and white
and color.  The image for the 8x10 is reversed,
but workers can transfer it to another support.

    Thanks, Richard.  I just got an email back from Polaroid
    saying they were no longer producing medium format or 4X5
    peal apart film.  Curiouser and curiouser! I will email Sam.


    Isn't it being produced by something like the Impossible
    Project?
