I love this for years I have used Polaroid to proof for film (and of course,
quite often with type 55, just used the polaroid itself)

Now we are using digital to proof polaroid... :-)

This has given me almost as much of a chuckle as the digital shooter asking
how to develop B&W film, as they've never used film before....
