i went to the focus show at the NEC recently and spoke to the Export Sales man from Ilford, I had met him briefly at the Ilford factory, lovely bloke -cant recall his name...Simon maybe?
Anyway he did say that Ilfords head honcho was off to see Polaroid about the licencing issue, so they are trying! Although being realisitc I wouldnt hold my breath, seems a very costly and complex thing.
I do wish they would though!
