Hi all, by now I am sure most CS large format bros already knew about the New 55 film project @ Kickstarter
The project have 10 more days to go and it have just hit passed the 50% mark. Very hard to tell whether the project will pull through, but the response is promising. I just pledge mine @ Kickstarter and the process is quite fast if you have an amazon account. For bros who are not sure what amount to pledge, you can choose to pledge a minimum amount and than upgrade your pledge later in your Kickstarter account if you decided to give more support.
Currently I am shooting medium format 120, FP-100C and FP-3000B film (3000B sadly stop production last year :bheart
. The only large format camera I have is a Polaroid Miniportrait 253 4x5 with a back that take FP-100C, FP-100B, FP-500B and FP-3000B 4x5 which all sadly also ceased production years back. When New 55 was finally launch at Kickstarter, I got very excited as a film shooter. Some people say once a thing (or film) is dead is dead. But here we have a group of photographers (without aid from any business corporation), coming together and try to revive a classic film so current and future film shooter can enjoy one more process of taking analog photography. I decided that I must lend my support on this project. If this thing does pull through and flourish. The revival of FP-3000B, all 4x5 FP peel film and many more classic extinct film is also Plausible.
For people who like to find out more about Type 55 and New 55 feel free to check thru these links below:

Shooting with Polaroid sheet film with Mijonju
For newbie who have no idea what Polaroid sheet film is and how it work. Its just the same with LF negative sheet film but you can process it anywhere. Something like a portable instant darkroom.

the funding for the NEW55 Film just hit 80%! currently @ $321,611. I just up my pledge to show my support that analogue photography is not a dying art form. 3 more days to go. Finger cross everyone.
