Impossible Project’s Polaroid film gets tested, looking pretty old-timey

The Impossible Project‘s new Polaroid-licensed film is going on sale in the UK this week, and the folks over at 1854 just got a nice little press packet in the mail which included some of the surely sought after film. The black and white only (color’s been promised for a later date) film, coupled with a Polaroid camera should obviously lead to some seriously ancient looking snapshots and… surprise, surprise — it does! Now, there are only a very few test shots (taken with a Polaroid SX-70) included for review here, so it’s hard to gauge overall quality of the output, but we have to say the snaps we’re seeing look so antiquey that it’s actually hard to tell what we’re even looking at in the photo — is it the ghost of John Wayne? Is that Charlotte Bronte or Lady Gaga hanging tough in the foreground? Still, we have to say we’re intrigued with the whole idea of producing photos this sepia-toned and grainy, especially at our next in-house competitive rave off. Hit the source link for more test shots.
