T59 *might* be a more sane approach.

  Thanks to all those who posted answers.

  I thought about using a digital camera to proof but the focal lengths 
  are so different between the digital camera and the camera I be using 
  that I didn't think it would be suitable. Also, the digital camera I 
  have doesn't allow full control of the aperture and shutter speed so I 
  don't think that is an option for me.

  From your answers it seems that a little experiential judgment (and the 
  correct EI) is required if I'm going to use T55 positives to proof 
  lighting setups for portraits when the final image will be made on a 
  silver negative -- or choose another polaroid film where the positive's 
  contrast range is closer to that of the negative film.

  Thanks again.
