Comments on: We are fucked: Polaroid stops making film, for real http://photondetector.com/blog/2008/02/08/all-polaroid-films-discontinued/ News and resources for [mostly] pinhole, toy camera, and experimental photography.

I'm a bit unsure about Polaroid film and cameras and which ones link up and so forth. How do I know if my camera takes pack/peel-apart film (I have an old EE88)? Which cameras take this film and the Fuji instant film? Thank you for any help you can give. I'm deeply saddened by the death of Polaroid as I've only recently (in the last 2 years) been able to get my hands on Polaroid cameras. I've always loved them; I just could never afford them a few years ago when in High School. Hi, I really like your site and am just backtracking on your Polaroid posts.

I've tried shifting over to Fuji but it's just to... well, perfect - it behaves impecably, like a well-behaved but stuffy houseguest unlike its woozy hedonistic cousin who turns up late and drinks all the beer. RIP polaroid. As a long time user of Polaroid film, both snapshot and medium format I’m gutted by this news.

The magnitude of just how much this sucks still hasn't sunk in yet. Polaroids are pretty much all I like to shoot these days. Help us, Fuji-wan Kenobi... you're my only hope.

Although maybe the unsaleable folks will step up ... they're already selling the SX-70 blend, so maybe they can do something. The whole thing just really, really sucks.
