RE: NETHERLANDS REVIVAL OF POLAROID

[Don Bryant <donsbryant@gmail.com>]

Gregg and Bob,

I'm familiar with the project, the group and the website. IMO - Polaroid
ain't gonna come back. But on the slim chance that it does the best one can
expect are the integral films used in cameras like the 600. Also I don't see
how they are going to attract investors. Perhaps ask everyone on the web to
send them $5.

I would really be pleased if they could recreate SX-70 film and PN-55.
Realistically though, the demand for these products has diminished and they
will be very expensive if they are ever revived.

I'd just settle for the film inside the PN 55 packet. Screw the rest of it.
