Summary

  • Chinese company Light Lens Lab has revealed it is developing and researching black and white peel-apart instant film, with plans to make it available by 2025 in various formats.
  • It is also researching, developing and producing colour reversal films with K-14 dye-incorporating development processes for 135 and 120 formats in 2026.
  • The news will give hope to camera hackers and those with Polaroid Land cameras, for which the original peel-apart instant film is no longer manufactured.
  • It should provide a new option for camera hackers, as pack film is simpler to deal with than modern instant film and only requires rollers and a paper tab to develop.
  • The company also teased it is researching a colour chemistry process similar to the now extinct Kodachrome, known for its sharp and vibrant colours.
