Polaroid 55

2003-05-25 by Stephen Petegorsky

Kevin - In my experience, Polaroid 55 has to used EITHER to make a good
print or a good negative.  Their exposure indices are really not the same.
I used the film for years (very happily) to make negatives of landscapes,
typically using an exposure index of 20 and a spot meter to place the
darkest areas of the scene in Zone III to retain some detail.  The prints
would be overexposed by a full stop; if I made the exposures for the prints,
the negatives would have been very thin.
