Polaroid is in fresh talks over the survival of its professional instant sheet film following its failure to reach agreement with UK firm Ilford Photo.
Polaroid bosses have confirmed that they are in discussions with a ‘third party’ over the continued production of 20×24in large format professional b&w sheet film.
In a meeting with Amateur Photographer, Polaroid’s European vice-president Paul Telford also revealed that there is a ’strong possibility’ that production of 8×10in format sheet film will be taken up by an, as yet, unnamed manufacturer…
Platinum/palladium prints are valued by photographers, collectors, galleries, and museums for their inherent beauty and archival stability. Although there is much lore and mystique associated with the platinum printing process, when properly handled, it can be accomplished by anyone willing to put in a little time and effort to make it work. Platinum printing is often thought to be a very difficult and expensive process. In this workshop we will de-mystify the process and learn the basic skills necessary to produce very fine platinum/palladium prints at a reasonable cost.
This year Ray Bidegain and Patrick Kolb will be teaming up with Jeanette Altman for an additional 2 days of instruction in the making of digital negatives for platinum printing. In the first 2 days of this workshop, we will be making enlarged negatives for platinum printing. We will then be making platinum prints on Saturday and Sunday. For most of the history of platinum printing photographers needed large-camera negatives for printing; Now photographers are able to use negatives from smaller cameras as well as digital files for making platinum prints. Come learn with us during this 4 days workshop.

Can’t buy the film you want any more? Just make the stuff!
In this set you will find random photos and information on a project a friend has undertaken - a machine to make his own camera film.
Plastic and goop go in one end, and camera film comes out the other end. This is not a trivial undertaking.
*update*
This bit of hardware seems to have created a bit of a stir…
