The tires? Ach, I was expecting to do them this year anyway, just taken a
little by surprise by the rapidity of their decline.
Godfrey, tire tread depth at the wear bar doesn't necessarily mean they need
to be replaced. If the wear is even across the tread and you you're not
anticipating significant rain they can still be safely driven on awhile
longer. If these were mine, here in Michigan I'd probably drive them thru
the summer but replace them as winter approaches.
A trade off of low tread depth is better adhesion, all other things equal.
However tire noise is worse.

And an exposure with some regular 600 color (v3 beta) to show that
"normal" photos are also possible with the I-1:

I ordered twelve more packs of color film yesterday… 96 exposures for
roughly $250. There's a reason to sharpen your eye …! :-) ...
Ouch! to the film cost & unwelcome extra expense.
Costs permitting, keep them coming. There is really something about these
images.Another memento with Impossible I-1 and the cyanographic film:
Thanks!
It's about twice the cost of shooting 6x6 film and having it processed,
which isn't too too bad, but still an expense to be managed. After a
flurry of snapping about to learn the film and the camera, I tend to slow
way down and then I usually get most out of a pack as keepers. It's the
education cost that's steep. Can't be helped if you love the way instant
film looks, which I do, so I meter it out and enjoy it. I just feel lucky
that someone—the folks who founded The Impossible Project—cared enough to
keep the format and the cameras alive. Photography is richer for their
hard work and investment. I hope the business thrives and they are
rewarded financially as well.
The tires? Ach, I was expecting to do them this year anyway, just taken a
little by surprise by the rapidity of their decline. They were fine four
months ago. Oh well, they'll be fine again on Friday. I chose a slightly
different tire this time, one with a bit more tread life potential. I hope
they work well.
