End of Polaroid

Polaroid production of instant film has ceased now. No worries yet for those who like to use a pola back as Fuji has stepped in with an increased
production to supply instant film.

The end of Polaroid was at least partly due to arrogant business attitude from Polaroid management.
As one time leader in cameras and supplies for passport photo's they were asked by a Japanese company to join them to market digital cameras.
Polaroid refused the offer. Within two years the Japanese were leader in this field.
