Just finished my first box and I'm completely hooked. I had acquired a processor, and while it was shipping to me I was fortunate enough to be able to visit the Impossible Space in NYC, where one of the staff took the time to show me the ins and outs of the machine and show me some of the exquisite portraits that they had made there. That experience and from my own use of the material, I think it's a completely new thing. Comparisons to conventional 8x10 film simply don't apply. In my view, it's like a modern tintype process: a unique, flopped image, in which you have to embrace a measure of imperfection and unpredictability. The upside is that the processing is clean and safe and you don't have to inhale ether fumes. It should also be said that from a grain/speed point of view this film performs extremely well. Is it expensive? Yes, like all 8x10 photography: 8x10 Tri-X is about $8.00 per sheet. Is it worth it? For me, definitely.

I'm very happy with this new Possible film. I use it to shoot portraits with my Sinar 8x10" and process the picture with the Emulsion Lift technique on watercolour paper. The results are stunning! :-) Hope to see a colour version in the near future for I'm running out of the 809 Polaroid........

I have the opportunity to use this film with some great results. Tonality is excellent when exposed well. The exposure latitude is narrow similar to slides. I rated the film at ISO 640 and shot with indoor halogen spot lights and the exposure was pretty spot on at this rated speed. The emulsion spread covers the entire negative when used with the Polaroid processor operated electrically without streaking. Care should be taken to wipe off the excess goo (developing paste) at the sides and the end of the photo. At the same time the photo has to be peeled apart to dry completely (may take 2 weeks in the humid environment of Singapore). Some photos had turned yellow as a result of not wiping the excess goo. New products can be plagued with some issues just like how Polaroid products have always been. However, it is a good step forward for 8x10 instant! Pricing wise should have been more competitive for experimental film. Hope to see the colour version 8x10 soon!

Took delivery of my first box of 8x10 PQ this week, just CAN'T WAIT to try it. Bought up the processor and holders on eBay a couple of years ago in the hope that the Impossible Project would produce this and now its a reality!!! Have been shooting out of date Polaroid 8x10 materials up until now with mixed results so this is really exciting. By the way, despite the price this film is WAY MORE cost effective for me than shooting 8x10 negs, I do not have the processing equipment at home and the cost of processing 1 8x10 neg and 1 contact print from my lab in London is at least double what it will cost me for one print from this film

So you did it. A new start for imagination?

This is a beautiful thing. I would be willing to pay for this, if I had an 8"x10" camera. I get that what you are doing is already seemingly "impossible," but I think 4"x5" is a bit more accessible (not to mention it is my format of choice). When you can give me that option, I will wait in line for it.

All this film has done is kindle a lust for an 8x10 camera (like I didn't want one badly enough before). I'm seriously hoping this will lead to the development of 4x5 or 3.25x4.25 pack films for medium format backs. Impossible Project film and a Mamiya RZ67, can you imagine? You'd hear my jubilatory screams all the way from NYC to Vienna.
