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.
