Interesting thread. I don't know whether or not my mother's old Polaroid color camera is still in the drawer in which it was kept - will have to look. That thing took a LOT of pictures over the years.
A recent scope acquisition saw one of these come along for the ride

Along with 5 sealed, unopened packs of this stuff:

$145 a pack? Seriously - is the film worth that much? And will the Fuji FP-100C variant work in a scope camera which uses a 4x5" format, as the Type 53 Polaplan is?

No. The Fuji stuff is only 3.25x4.25. There is no 4x5 instant film being made anymore, which is why the stuff you see is $145.... And a serious gamble because most often the chemicals are dried out and nothing but powder.
impossible Prject just introduced 8x10 instant film, but as of yet has not formatted a 4x5, which everyone is wishing for.
Isn't it wild that Polaroid won't release the patents, and there is still a demand for instant photo printing?

Wow, who would of "Zinked" of that? Interesting, eh?

This isn't the same. An inkjet printer will NEVER compare to true film. Considering an inkjet print to a film print is like saying that CB and Ham are the same.
CB and ham radio ARE the same.
Zink paper is not an inkjet, how can it be when the colors are in the paper? And no, it's not as good as "real film"", but dye sublimation printers can arguably be as good or better than film. And then, there was this crazy assed printer called the PixelMaster. But anyway...

That's a big ten-four, good buddy.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
I have to admit, that's one that doesn't seem to make any sense.
You would think that Polaroid (or what's left of them) would be willing to license the process and collect the royalties. Go figure.
