RE: NETHERLANDS REVIVAL OF POLAROID
Yep, there's nothing interesting to me in the Polaroid line except SX-70... The rest (with the exception of peel-apart large format film, most significantly the consumer-type instant film) is obsolete in the digital age... I won't be excited until I see they have revived SX-70 film.

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. Don Bryant
