Dear B&W Packfilm Believers, We have very good news to share with you! After nearly a year of waiting, your patience is about to be rewarded. A few weeks back, we received an ecstatic email from John at the 20x24 Studio with a simple subject line... HOLY F***ING S***. (pardon our french...)We knew right away that there must be some good news inside, and indeed there was! At last, the boys in Boston had succeeded in formulating a truly remarkable...
Dear B&W Believers,Before we update you with the latest news on our efforts to bring back black & white packfilm, we must first say a big THANK YOU! We've officially sold out of all 3333 shots from the b&w pre-order, and we can't wait to get them into your hands and cameras across the world! Everyone who has pre-ordered black & white film should be recommended for sainthood because lately we've had zero emails of irate impatience about the...
Dear Packfilm Saviors, Lately you may have noticed some 'radio silence' regarding our black & white packfilm resurrection, and judging by the recent emails we've been getting, you're chomping at the bit to get an update! I'm here to get you up to speed. As usual, there's some good news and some less-than-good news. First, let's get the less-than-good news out of the way... The old Polaroid pod-filling machine (a.k.a. the Pod Runner) at the 20x24 Studio has had to...
We just received amazing news from John and his team; their reactor run was successful and we have confirmation that a black & white reagent is again possible! John's words tell it best... "Hi guys, Rising at 5:30 on this cold December morning to meet by 9:00 at the lab, I had only slim hope that we could pull this off. But pull it off we did. This spread was done minutes after the reagent was out...
Dear Black & White Believers, Please cross your fingers and say a little (non-denominational) prayer for our friends at the 20x24 Studio. A veritable avalanche of pre-orders has enabled us to immediately get the ball rolling on the resurrection of black & white packfilm, and the boys in Boston are already planning their first reactor run of reagent. If all goes well, we might hear some good news before Christmas, but more likely we won't know how it turned out...
Here are answers to some frequently asked questions we've been getting lately. This information is relevant as of December 15th, 2020. When will production of the new black & white film begin? We're not sure yet. We're waiting for initial results from John and his crew at the 20x24 Studio. Assuming everything goes smoothly, we hope to start production in February 2021, or as soon as we get our hands on the new pods. How long will it...
dear maddames und gentlemen Webbomaestro Eduardo Lexi typing some lines here with trembling, tearsoaked fingers. As you may know, I usually prefer to lick at impossible projects in the shadows of my famous Schwarzkohl forrest together with my blind dog, but after this last night I can not resist to kritzeln you some short THANK YOU lines in this blog. Thank you for being so wondafully crazy enough to support our dream of bringing my most beloved black and white peel apart film back to...
Dear Saviors of Packfilm, ONE INSTANT production manager Chris here, writing to you with an exciting bit of (potentially) very good news. To get right to the point... we might be able to offer black and white film in the ONE INSTANT format; our very own version of a revived Polaroid 672 type black & white film. Before you get too excited though, let me explain the whole situation in a little bit more detail... Back in 2017, John Reuter...
