Hi I have some problem with two boxes of my Polaroid 55. Boxes are overrated and chemicals in pods are not spread enough to develop the negative. I would like to find developing formula to develop negative with no 545 holder. I want to cut out negative and try to develop it separately. The problem is - what developer should I use...? How long? Any experience..? Any idea...?
It has been done. try a google search. some folks believe it's kodak panatomic x film, that should get you started.
I put one negative into Xtol (1:1) for 3-4 minutes. It works. Than I put it into standard fixer and the negative is fine but very thin. I will work with this developer more later... The time should me shorter I think...
