When we started the Impossible Project in 2008, we did that on one condition: we would only focus on inventing a new instant film, without approaching the temptation of also creating an upgraded, new analog Instant Cameras. Which is what we did.

Until we met Henny Waanders. In his 40 years career at Polaroid, he has been in charge of a team working on new applications and new product concepts. We realized that someone with a vast instant-camera-understanding, knowledge and expertise like him would make it possible to really start a new camera project.

Polaroid used to develop every single camera from scratch, a real challenge for engineering and production. But Henny already had a more innovative and modern approach in mind: the idea of a Film Processing Unit (FPU) - which would serve as a basis and an open source device for all sorts of analog Instant Cameras.

The FPU has already served as a basis for Impossible Instant Lab and the Supersense 66/6 Pinhole camera that sold out much too fast. Now, the FPU’s open source possibilities are being used and proudly demonstrated for the first, fully manual adjustable Instant Camera with an SX-70 lens. Maybe the highest quality integral film camera in history.
