john_galuszka Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 <p>For many years the standard proceedure for large format photography was to first take a test print with a Polariod film back, then if everything was OK, shoot a 4X5 (or larger) film shot. Polariod film is no longer being made. However ...</p> <p>Some old Polaroid workers are trying to bring it back. See The Financial Times newspaper issue for August 15th, page 15; article: "Snap decisions" by Tim Bradshaw for more information.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicaglow Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 <p>John, this has been "news" around here for awhile. It is not even clear if they are working on LF size or SX instant film. They are apparently cash strapped, and under the gun to make the process work before they run out of money. I hope they eventually come out with Type 55PN, but it will be awhile I suspect, if at all.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt1 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 <p>"SX instant film" Yes, that's all for now.</p> <p>I was dismayed to learn that they haven't even made any plans for a Type 55 replacement.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
