PX 680 Color Shade Film

  June 17th, 2011  Photography

Analogians, rejoice. The PX 680 Color Shade film pack from Impossible is now available for Polaroid 600 cameras and SX 70 cameras equipped with ND filter. This new film pack is like Instagram for real photos, offering a retro effect with vivid and sometimes distorted colors. But in this case, the tint is born from sensitive emulsion, not your iPhone application. The new product even boasts a trick smartphones can’t (yet) handle. The pictures continue to change for a few days after shooting.

The folks at Impossible instruct, “We love being on the sunny side as much as the next guy, but with Color Shade film being super sensitive to light after exposure, pictures have to get shielded from light IMMEDIATELY as they get ejected from the camera – the first few seconds are crucial!! There are several tricks how to shield the image from light upon its ejection from the camera. You can either cover it with your hand, a darkslide or your shoot directly into a box.”
