"The new masterpiece of the Impossible labs in Enschede is a highly astonishing material that will zoom all the lovers of Polaroid cameras back into the good old days when every single shot was a wonderful exciting instant adventure"
Florian Kaps (founder of The Impossible Project) about the new PX 600 Silver Shade film
Quotes from the various forums.
" images are fading away"
" Sepia fading, color tones instead"
"I can't see anything"
"inject in a small shoe box trick"
"Hey its a new company, what do you expect?"
"Shipping costs are very high to most countries."
"unpredictable and unreliable"
"it sucks"
"I think there is a lamination problem"
"compensation program is not working"
"a very half-hearted attempt at compensation for defective materials purchased"
"seeing some orange spots on my pictures!"
"I told you it was gonna get messy..."
and a lot more.
"Its suppose to be quirky"
The new films from TIP (The Impossible Project) are out now for a while, time to have a closer look at it.
Let's first establish the fact that TIP is a commercial company, in other words TIP want's to make money and there is noting wrong with that.
But if you than produce and sell a faulty product, in the broadest sense of the word,
one thing comes to my mind: back to the drawing board.
There are so many things wrong with this product that you wonder why there is still
a little group of hardcore "believers" who are still buying it.
There are heated discussions on the forums. But TIP is fighting a losing battle.
They have to come up with something better.
In the mean time Polaroid and Fuji are only winning by this renewed interest in Instant Film.
That is the only good thing that emerges out off this TIP debacle.
I was planning to do a review on the two films PX100 and PX600 but I can start with the conclusion
Good: Nice packaging and original darkslide.
Bad: everything else.
THIAPS supported TIP from day one but now we wait for the "second flush" and we just wait and see how this debacle unfolds.
