In 2008 the Polaroid Corporation stopped manufacturing their instant film products.

Devotees of the media have been forced to stockpile film or go on a frantic search for rapidly diminishing global stocks.

Often desperate Polaroid enthusiasts had to purchase overpriced, out of date film with less than pleasing results. However, thanks to the Impossible Project we should soon be able to buy instant film again. At present the range is designed for the most popular Polaroid cameras but there are plans to introduce larger film formats such as 10"x8" in the future. The Impossible Project also sells a range of Polaroid compatible cameras including the classic SX70 and the Holgaroid.
