From reading thru the website, it sounds like all they will be making is integral film.  

So .... types like Spectra or 600.

I did not see anything about peel apart.

An eleven minute short film done by Charles and Ray Eames, showing the SX70. Done in the early 70's.

I still remember when I used to sell those!  They were quite avant garde the way they folded up, with the little row of flash bulbs that fit across the top.  Sold 110 pocket cameras and Kodak Instamatics too...  Previous millenium, in more ways than one.

Mike.

Man, if there is one word to express my idea about 70's design and art, it is RESPECT. That is SX-70 is a complete photolab in a beautiful foldable package. Always liked those designs with metal, black plastic and leather or wood. Just like amplifiers and receivers (Sony) used to look like. Miss those times of true innovation and creativity. Today's design is amazing, but to me only that.
Thanks for sharing!
