    worst news ever

    The company finally gives up on the now-obsolete product that made it famous, and will shut its remaining film plants.
    One wonders where it will end, when everything has become gay.

    I bet one of the european manufacturers like Foma, Forte, Bergger, or Tura gets a license to manufacture instant film.

                        even today, if polaroid still made polaroids and kodak still made kodachrome, and every street corner still processed K-14, most people would still choose to shoot crappy cell phone pics..

                            Photography is about your eye not your camera. So even the best photographer could do something amazing with a crappy phone camera. Provided they don't have any plans to stop Kodak Tri-X I'm happy. Fallen back to b&w as of late.

                              ^^ your touching on something totally different.

                              this is about being able to choose, and now having less choices to do certain things because technology makes things obsolete.
