A return to Analogue- PX600

After the breakthrough by the Impossible Project to enable instant analogue photography once again through the development of a new film type, releasing both Monochrome versions of the classic 600 film [PX600 Silver Shade] and then releasing the colour equivalent, has allowed the Supercolour to start making images once again.

I did manage to buy some of the last stocks of the 600 Polaroid film, from the Impossible Project online and whilst I was over in Berlin last year. As this was really the last stock of the 600 made by Polaroid: - and at the time the new IP films hadn’t yet been released, I used the film I had cautiously…. Then….

The new monochrome version of the 600 films was released, under the new name of PX600 Silver Shade, I got hold of some: This was the first flush edition. It was touted as an “Experimental” film as certain aspects of the emulsion were sensitive to light post exposure and also temperature, both could affect the performance of the film [The IP did point this out quite clearly]

Loading it into the Supercolour the darkslide was quickly ejected, that was an encouraging sign; I set off out and about to try out the new instant film.
