The black and white film for the SX-70 instant format, announced some time ago by Impossible Project, has been available since yesterday. Impossible advertises the B/W Film for SX-70 with a newly developed emulsion that is said to deliver impressive black and white tones and a high level of detail and sharpness. The instant film is designed for the old Polaroid SX-70 cameras.
You can buy the black and white film in the online shop of The Impossible Project and certainly soon at your trusted dealer.
In addition to the Impossible B/W Film for SX-70, there is also a suitable film for Polaroid 600 cameras and Impossible hardware (Instant Lab).
Now only the announced B/W Film for Image/Spectra is missing.
However, there are still problems in production, as Impossible announced on Twitter.

and as yet, no alternative suppliers have been found. The perils of analog instant film production!
