Well the effects of Polaroid discontinuing film are becoming obvious. For large format films, B&H only has Type 52 listed. Could not find any on Calumet except a Fuji 4x5 film.

As for Spectra, have not seen it anywhere except eBay.

Pack films 664, 669, and 690 are still available from B&H, Calumet and 664 is in stock at Freestyle with others on back order

Scablab (I can't remember how to link anymore) turned me onto a Polaroid TZ film (Variant of SX-70 at Freestyle). I promptly bought 3 boxes about a month ago, just checked their site this evening and it appears to be gone.

600 film is still widely available.

What is a Polarox?

A form of free art where the recipient is forced to make a value judgement regarding what it is they received in the mail, ponder why they got it, and are forced to make a decision as to what to do with it. Most recipients are not aware they are going to get the work.

They are also sent to musuems all over the world. My local museum gets one every month. No specific persons attention, I like the idea of the museum secretary, volunteer or mail clerk being first confronted with the art, not the museum curator or exhibit review committee member.

The works are produced using mature technologies (Polaroid, Xerox machine, US Postal Service, and typewriter) which to me are antithetical to the digital age.
