Anyone using 'The Impossible Project' film?

If you don't know what it is, a bunch of mad scientists have taken over the old Polaroid plant and created film that can be used in a variety of old Polaroid Cameras.

I just got a couple of packs of their experimental Cyanotype Film that I plan on using tomorrow. I've been doing Cyanotype 'sun prints' for a few years now so I'm anxious to use this experimental stuff. If I manage a few decent pics I'll post them.

Was just curious if anyone else was using their film.

1. Yeah I have an SX70

It's fun to play around with their film. I need to pick up some B&W

2. I love my old Polaroid cameras but this hobby tends to be too expensive for me.

Sometimes I'll shoot peel-apart Fuji film in my 180 or Colorpack II.

Frankly the Colorpack II is more fun.

I always have more fun seeing what I can make with limited equipment rather than seeing how many ways I can screw up with excellent equipment. The 180 is the quality machine but the Colorpak II is fun.

In my own life perfectionism has always been a curse whenever it short-circuits with my OCD.

The only time my perfectionism hasn't been a curse was when I was working in a blood bank. Perfectionism in that work saved lives and mistakes killed people. I never made a mistake. But it was stressful.

My photography hobby is buying cameras in thrift stores, ten dollars or less, both film and digital, and seeing what I can do with them.

I generally develop film myself whenever I have a few extra dollars.

I'm also quite fond of cyanotypes and related processes after the film has been developed.

I like this process a lot: I take pictures on a larger format film with an old camera --> develop film, generally some ascorbic acid or HC-110 related developer --> make cyanotype contact print --> scan.

There's a look about chemical photography that is difficult to duplicate and I've tried writing GIMP filters attempting to duplicate this look from digital images, but never got it quite right.
