Impossible I-1 Instant Film Camera Now In Stock

May 26, 2016 By Eric Reagan

Impossible Project I-1

The Impossible I-1 is the first new 600-type instant film camera released in many years and is now shipping at B&H Photo.

The I-1 accepts the old Polaroid 600-type instant film (now made by Impossible Project), along with the new I-Type film from Impossible project.

The notable advances in the Impossible I-1 include iOS and WatchOS compatibility, an 82-109mm lens, a 5-zone AF system, a built-in ring flash and the inclusion of a rechargeable battery. Having its own battery means that the new I-Type film, which is made for this camera, doesn’t have to include its own battery pack. This seems to shave a couple bucks off the cost of a pack of film.

The I-1 instant camera retails for $299. Check it out here at B&H Photo.

Impossible Project Unveils the I-1 Instant Camera

April 12, 2016 By Eric Reagan

Impossible Project I-1

Impossible Project just announced its very first camera, the I-1, which uses Polaroid 600 film.

Impossible Project is currently the only manufacturer of Polaroid 600-type film and there hasn’t been a new 600-type camera released in years.

The I-1 steps up the capabilities of what we’re accustomed to having in instant film cameras like those older Polaroids and even the current Fujifilm Instax cameras. It can be controlled by a smart device over Bluetooth connection to adjust aperture, shutter speed and flash settings. It can also be triggered remotely from the app. Notably, the I-1 includes a built-in ring flash and autofocus. [Read more…]

Impossible Project is Trying to Save Fujifilm Packfilm

March 19, 2016 By Eric Reagan

Fujifilm FP-100C is Discontinued

I am still super bummed about Fujifilm’s decision to stop production of FP-100C packfilm. It’s the last peel-apart instant film on the market. Once it is gone, an entire category of instant film cameras become obsolete. However, The Impossible Project, which saved Polaroid 600 instant film, is trying to save peel-apart packfilm as well.

JCH StreetPan 400 is a New Black & White Film

March 18, 2016 By Eric Reagan

JCH Street Pan 400

It’s been a busy year so far with film. A couple weeks back, we saw the writing on the wall for Fujifilm FP-100C instant film, which likely means the end of an entire format. However, we’ve also seen new film introduced with CineStill launching both medium format and large format versions of its 800T film. And now, Japan Camera Hunter is launching its own 35mm film – JCH StreetPan 400. [Read more…]

Deal: Fuji Instax Mini 8 for $49

March 16, 2016 By Eric Reagan

Fuji Instax Mini 8-3

Amazon has a great deal on the Fuji Instax Mini 8 for just $49 right now. These usually run closer to $60 but are available in several colors for $49. Amazon has been in and out of stock with the Mini 8 some lately (it’s the most popular camera on Amazon), so I don’t expect this to last long. Check it out here on Amazon.com.

Fujifilm FP-100C Ends Production; Peel-Apart Film is Officially Dead [Updated}

February 29, 2016 By Eric Reagan

Fujifilm FP-100C is Discontinued

It’s a sad day folks. As I have waded back into film photography over the past year, there is one film that I’ve really grown attached to:  Fujifilm’s FP-100C.

Today, however, Fujifilm announced the end of production for FP-100C. It is the last peel-apart film on the market. As such, it was the only film available for many Polaroid Land Cameras and medium format backs since Polaroid has long ago stopped making peel apart film. [Read more…]

Film is a Disease

January 28, 2016 By Eric Reagan

In this homage to film created by Nuno Marques, we see a beautiful journey through the streets of Porto through the viewfinder of a Mamiya RB67 and Kodak TRI-X 400 film.
