For all professional, amateur or just the everyday photographer this is a great shame. Whether a medium format user or a handy instant pix camera, the joys of taking a polaroid & being presented with an image a few minutes later are amazing. In terms of film photo shoots they offer you a quick way to test the light and models often grabble over the best polaroid, both photographer and muse wanting that raw moment of the day captured so, well instantly. Somehow I feel that polaroids have something more true or unfeigned about them, like the camera and film can lie but the polaroid cant. Maybe because I see them as a test for the 'real thing' - the polaroid can capture the true moment before the pose comes into play. Anyway, on reflection of the news polaroid may no longer be, I found a vintage polaroid camera on Ebay - it's my find of the week and I think it's great. Get in there before I do!!
