Type 55 Came & Went in a Flash
« on: April 09, 2008, 03:34:44 PM »
This morning I got an email from B&H saying they had Type 55 back in stock. I clicked on the link & it was there. I went to get my handbag, to get my credit card out, and in that time - the time it took to walk across the room and back - it was gone! They were out of stock again. That fast.

Sigh.

And they keep saying that Polaroid film "doesn't sell"  :-\

you can get 52 here

they even have 8x10 if you want to spend 400 bucks for 20 shots.

i notice a lot of places don't even list 600 anymore, which is odd because that will be the last to be produced. like nobody feels like dealing with it anymore.

probably true... having a business and being forced to continuously play with the inventory software is enough of a drag for them to be fed up with Polaroid.
