Comment on The new Polaroid I-2 instant camera

Comments

I understand the unlikelihood of this, but to really capitalize on the film craze they need to produce a higher “resolution” instant film. Old peel away film was fantastically high quality particularly when paired with a genuine glass lens (most current instant film cameras have a plastic lens). Improving the lens can only go so far without improving the film stock.

If it wants to compete with digital, sure. That's not the point though. There's a world of "low-fi" photography that's closer to art than modern photography has become.

You can 3d print a modified instax wide back for some medium format cameras. Hasselblad has always had an instant film back with some minor modifications. The photos look amazing.
