Waterbury CT Polaroid's








Over the last week I stopped down at the NYC Impossible store to
pick some free Polaroid bags they where throwing out.  When I was there I thought I
would give their new SX 70 Color Shade Push.  They claim that this film
fades to blue and can take a ton of light/exposure.  I picked up 2 packs
at the ridiculous price of $19.80 for 8 shots a pack!!!  I planned to test during
a photo trip this last weekend.
This film was very interesting, but overall I wasn't super impressed.
It does fade to blue, but, it is random at best, and the color shifts are
slow to start and once they start to shift, they shift very, VERY, fast.
I cut a few open for transfers, and the foil ripped making them useless.
I really really want to like Impossible, but their quality really needs
to improve, and fast!  Plus the price is mind-blowing! It's $2.44 a
SHOT!!! Testing is impossible, and the randomness of the effects
don't make it worth the price.   Sigh...........................
