After Polaroid went belly-up, The Impossible Project decided they were going to keep the fire by buying up the manufacturing facilities and continuing to make film (and possibly cameras). Admirable!

But until their labors bear fruit… you’ll have to go to Urban Outfitters.

700 limited-edition Polaroid ONE600 cameras will be sold at UO stores across the country, along with the Type 799 instant film we all know and love. These aren’t impostors or remakes, these are the last cameras and film stock to roll out of Polaroid’s factories. I don’t know about you, but I’m going to stand outside in the rain if I have to in order to get one.
