Looks fun :)

Being the frugal type, all i can wonder is how many prints do we get for 38$ ?

I found an old Polaroid camera in the basement and bought some of the Impossible film to give it a shot. It ain't cheap, and it's very susceptible to ambient light for the first day - about how long it takes for the image to stop changing. Far from the "instant" film of the past. And that accidental trigger of the shutter at $4-5 a pop isn't something that you can blow off.

It looks like it could be an interesting creative tool, but by the time I figured it out I could buy myself a year of Photoshop and make pictures look just like it. LOL

I'm interested but not drooling. I like the results I get from my Spectra but appreciate the extra control you get with this. Tom Hart ( tph1) got one and seems to like it.
