Before the iconic square Polaroid SX-70 and 600 formats dominated popular imagination, there was packfilm. Packfilm, or ‘peel-apart’ as it is often known, is one of the earliest instant film formats.

We’re starting the year right with two new articles! First, I have a beginner’s guide to the Polaroid SLR 680, hands down my favorite Polaroid camera.

For the first time in decades, it’s a new Polaroid camera! Well, sort of. The Impossible Project, now Polaroid Originals, made their first attempt at a new Polaroid camera with the I-1 last year.

What’s this? A digital camera review? It’s true! I’ve had Canon Powershots since digital cameras first became a consumer-level thing in the early 2000s.
