Mission Improbable

Today the Impossible Project is releasing the first in its' new line of instant integral processing films, PX film (when’s the last time you typed the word film?), a sepia toned black & white pack that will fit into folding SLR Polaroid models, like the SX-70. Supposedly the film is able to be manipulated, like the classic SX-70 or Time Zero films were, and a color version will be introduced this summer. You can read more details here.
Then there is this, on the Impossible Project site, a special film pack made with expired chemicals, called SX-70 Fadetoblack Film that “…shortly after taking the photo drifts through different colour schemes before it finally turns to blackness after 24 hours”- I am not sure if this is an early April fool’s gag, or if I should call Jim Phelps.
