Going Back In Time
Know what you mean. It's highly unlikely I will ever try a shot with the old beast again. If I wanted to revisit those times I'd pick up one of my twinlens reflex cameras instead.

Just as an FYI, Fuji makes Type 100 film for the very old Land Cameras, too. Fuji's film isn't as beautiful as the art films that the Impossible Project rescued from the last Polaroid factory (and when those are all gone, IP won't be making any more, so snap up what you can get while you can still still get it) but it's pretty good all the same. The only problem is that Fuji puts their film in a plastic pack which can be a PITA to get out of the camera efficiently, but there are workarounds, such as inserting the film into an old metal Polaroid pack before loading. The Polaroid groups on Flickr have a ton of tips for people who need any kind of help getting their old Land Cameras up and running.

I've seen a couple of video tours of the plant online.Their online stock thru their site seems to vary but there are other dealers who sell it.
Unfortunately though, there will be no more Type 100 from IP. What they have been selling are actually rescued Polaroid art films designed by Paul Giambarba from a plant in Mexico that were never released to the public, rather than IP-designed films.
When their stock of it is gone, it's gone. I've been snapping it up from people who have it on eBay, because I love the blue film in particular.The Fuji Type 100 stuff is OK. The color is actually very nice, and the black and white has the savable negatives (just like the old Polaroid black and white Type 100) so you can then scan, enlarge, manipulate, whatever. When you shop for it, some vendors charge way too much, so look around. I've found the best deals on it from private sellers on Amazon. Continental Supply on there sometimes sells it for under $5.00 a pack -- compared to some places who want to charge like $18 a pack.
It's nice stuff and I am delighted Fuji makes Type 100 film, but it is not worth THAT much!

I'll have to go dig out my oldies and post them up here.
