Polaroid Instant Film Production

Polaroid Corporation was founded in 1937 by Edwin H. Land. It is most famous for its instant film cameras, which reached the market in 1948, and continued to be the company's flagship product line until the February 2008 decision to cease all production in favor of digital photography products.

You have stated that you will stop selling Polaroid film after 2009 and stopped making Polaroid cameras in 2007.

Please continue to make Polaroid cameras and film, so that researchers, artists, and fun-lovers alike may continue to purchase and enjoy Polaroid instant film products forever.

We have heard you are seeking a partner to acquire licensing rights, in hopes that another firm will continue making the instant film and keep limited supplies available. Please ensure that the cameras and instant film will be available forever.

From the Associated Press 2/14/08:
At EP Levine, a photography store in Boston, business from both instant film and regular film has shrunk with the advent of digital photography. But there's still demand for instant film, especially among photography teachers who require large-format film, said Jay Callum, the store's president.

"We will keep the inventory until the bitter end, because there are people who want it," he said. "But it's hard to imagine the photo business without Polaroid being a part of it."
