Nothing is happening here. Still no color film from Ferrania and there will not be one before the next ice age. Move on and read the other threads.

Maybe you can lead by example. Bye!
That sounds almost optimistic ...
Oh what a lovely response ... two thumbs up, could be taken either with irony, ... in both a positive or negative way., depending on your view and perceptions.
Serious, AKA Sirius, don't abandon the ship yet, even all your dreams did not take place or come true immediately.
Your still here, sucking air, and shooting film. What else could there be in life. ...
I would expect that Kodak thought that they had technology sufficiently different from Polaroid that they were not infringing. Where the Courts were concluding that Two camera that Both spit out Card that changes into a picture were much the same thing.
One Kodak Setback that Kodak was not the one shooting thire own foot.
Well, the only instant product on the market today is made by Fuji, and it uses the Kodak chemistry for imaging. That was "sold" to Fuji at the end of the court case IIRC.

But of course by now, both the Polaroid Patent (and the Original Poloroid company) have both Expired. Patents are Probably an overall Drag on technology these days. (used more to stop things that to move things forward.)
Kodak traded off the instant dye releaser technology for some Fuji reversal film dye couplers.
Well, yours is a beautiful response too, in that we are waiting for a positive film from Ferrania, but they plan a negative colour film way in the future as well.
As for nothing happening here - at least these exchanges give us something to read while we continue to watch this thread for news from David.
polaroid originals are not made by fuji
I can go to my nearby 'big box' store and buy Fuji Instax cameras and film. I CAN'T do that for Polaroid.
it doesn't mean that polaroid originals are not on the market. I could buy them off the shelves at many shops where I live or just order them online
I bought my last box at Best Buy. Barnes & Noble had it stocked too.
The only quality instant color is Fuji, based on a Kodak original method.

that sounds more accurate although I read somewhere that new batches of polaroid originals are much better quality than they used to be
The latest stuff is by far the best, but still not quite there. At least for me. But I like the SX-70 too much to give up on it (for now).

This is a long thread for something that will never happen. It is even longer than the delete thread which was about 3500.
During my 7 years working on the Kodak Instant System. I spent a lot of time evaluating the 'Other' system. I was very favorably impressed with most of the integral film unit cameras; The film not so much.
IDK Fred, I saw the ISO 3000 images (cancelled by the court decree) and they were great.

It has already happened. Product has been produced and is in the hands of consumers, testing, refinements, fun. And when the facilities are up to snuff there will be longer term production, we are told. No problems here, the wait is fine and the film is excellent. Shine your beam of negativity elsewhere, killjoy.
The kickstarter was primarily about saving the machines, recipes etc. and build up a small company capable of producing analog film. Color film was meant as a reward for the backers, but wasn´t the big goal.
Therefore a lot has happened so far and still is happening.
But as you seem know that "there will be no color film till the next ice age" and "it will never happen" you must have a fortune tellers crystal ball, so maybe you won´t mind to give me the numbers for the next jackpot, that would be very kind. Or give the numbers to Ferrania to speed things up a bit.
And yes, i am aware that some people are dissapointed/angry, but there are adult ways to express dissapointment/anger.
Of course there is "nothing to see" because really the work going on....assuming the authorities have even finished their work on the building....won't be especially interesting to most of us.
FWIW I can buy the new Polaroid One Step in several physical shops in the town where I live...and the new Polaroid Originals film in at least two....should I want.

GOOD, but I am glad that I did not start holding my breathe at the beginning of this thread.
