The Impossible Project and Photojojo  teamed up to sell a rather limited set of 50 refurbished OneStep Polaroid Land Cameras.  Their asking price was $210 (when they actually had them for sale)

I love the look of these OneSteps… I’m kinda bummed I missed my chance at owning one.  The good news is that you can still buy The Impossible Project’s PX 100 film if you’ve got your own sexy vintage Polaroid camera sitting around.

The Impossible Project’s PX 100 First Flush film isn’t perfect. It may not always develop the way you’d expect it to, and each exposure is an experiment.

But what flaws the PX 100 film is also what makes it perfect.

Using this film is like shaking Edwin Land’s hand. And watching it develop is miraculous — it’s simply astonishing that it even exists.

When The Impossible inspected their new Polaroid plant most of the machinery was destroyed, and the chemical components used to develop film, missing.

But with the help of former Polaroid employees, Ilford (the best of the best in b&w film), and truckloads of ambition, they succeeded. A new chapter was added to the Polaroid legacy when The PX 100 Silver Shade First Flush Film was born, and we had to get our hands on it.

The PX 100 is a monochrome film built for SX-70 and 600 Polaroid cameras. Developed prints have a milky iridescence that ranges from black and white to sepia. Because of the film’s high sensitivity to temperature, humidity, and light it picks up eerie shadows, dreamy figures and whimsical lines.

The film’s unpredictability reveals beauty in the simplest of subjects. It’s a true throwback to Mr. Land’s first peel-apart instant film prototype, and goes best with handlebar mustaches and a pioneer sense of photography exploration.
