Polaroid film RIP?
Is Polaroid film completely defunct? Is there any point in getting a
Polaroid back these days? Natural Light Black and White Photography http://mysite.verizon.net/vze76ane/ -George- -- It is not our patriotic duty to send children to be butchered & slaughtered & to butcher & slaughter others every time a general or a politician gets a hardon for a war. Rather, it is our patriotic duty to demand the highest burden of proof to justify war. It is also our patriotic duty to hold treasonous, corporate whore, war criminals accountable for their actions. |

Natural Light Black and White Photography http://mysite.verizon.net/vze76ane/ -George- To my knowledge you can still get Polariod and I have used it when shooting MF jobs as a test for light positioning, however i also have a dslr, so recently I used it in place of switching back and forth beween my MF camera film back and the polariod back. I see no advantage to using polariod, becasue the dslr worked great for this task. All the film shots were right on the money according to the combo of my meter and the dslr proofing-but I still bracket 1/2 stop on each side of the determined exposure. -- "To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."--Theodore Roosevelt, May 7, 1918 greg_____photo(dot)com |

The Fuji reps gave me some FP100C to try out, and I can recommend it as a good colour proofing film. Ciao! Gordon Moat A G Studio http://www.allgstudio.com |

Fuji are a company of people engaged in an enterprise; hence plural. Most of the people in this newsgroup probably speak American (as distinguished from English) and consider Fuji to be an American corporation which is a legal person; hence singular. -- .~.
