Title: Polaroid!
Post by: ChristopherBarrett on August 19, 2011, 10:52:02 am
This is SO Off Topic it's pathetic.  I should be flogged, I know... but I've got a warm, gooey spot in my heart for Polaroid.

Of course it's not off topic. It is medium format film, is it not?

One of the few reasons I still keep my Mamiya Universal is to shoot Fuji FP-100B and FP-100C occasionally, when I get the mood.

We have this litle fuji roid camera that we use all the time to mark each scene and staple it next to the dialog with notes when we shoot motion.

We also use it for continuity as a physical print is much easier to find and sort than anything digital.

You made my heart go pitter-pat, until I realized that they don't make 4x5 films. 

I want my PN55!!!   :'(

Now that's more like it. Once they have a marketable product, I may well go looking for a view camera again.
