There's a PDF file with information by George DeWolfe on Polaroid's site: http://www.polaroidwork.com/media/demosanddownloadables/downloadablefiles/pdf/us_en_article_pp_masteringlightinthedigitalage_1f300.pdf When I converted my first Polaroid 110A camera to 665 pack film it was good to have that information. The film scans good on the Epson 3200 or part of it on the Nikon 8000 both wetmounted. The camera will be converted to the 4x5 inch holder so I can use the 55 as it is better to develop the film later on. Without the steel rolls in the camera it is lighter in use too. Separate holder for the development of course. 665 should have a tougher emulsion than 55 though. Ernst
