- Polaroid to Stop Making Polaroids….
Yet another casualty of the digital assault that has virtually conquered the world of film as we once new it, Polaroid has announced that they will discontinue the manufacture of the instant film that put the company on the map so many years ago.
“We’re trying to reinvent Polaroid so it lives on for the next 30 to 40 years,” Tom Beaudoin, Polaroid’s president, chief operating officer and chief financial officer, said in a phone interview with the Associated Press.
Instant Polaroid film will be on the shelves for the next year, after which Fujifilm will be the only company left making instant film.
A shame that they’ll never replace Type 55…
