Let the Editions Begin!

Dave Bias, | 902 days ago

We here at Impossible are working with several different folks this holiday season to provide special edition kits with cameras and film.

First out of the gate is our wonderful partner shop in Cleveland, OH – Aperture. Our pal, proprietor Scott Meivogel, is an analog film freak just like us and he has been selling our PX and PZ films for a few weeks now. Working with Cleveland artist Anthony Zart, they have created a very special package for the holidays – as you can see! There are four types of cameras to choose from and each comes with a pack of PX 600 UV+ in a signed and numbered silk-screened box for $99.

The edition is limited to 50 pieces – so hit up Aperture soon if you want to snag one of these beautiful kits, each lovingly chosen, assembled and decorated by Scott and Anthony (and of course – found, refurbished and guaranteed by Impossible).

P.S. – We loved Anthony’s artwork so much, we’re working with him to create some labels for our NYC shop!
