Speed Graphic film

2003-07-19 by sandersm@aol.com

Another choice for film in your Speed Graphic, if it fits (big if), is 
3.25x4.25 pack film from Polaroid.   Polaroid makes some really interesting pro 
emulsions, including its 665 film, which gives both a positive and a negative for 
each exposure.   The negatives get high marks from many photographers, 
although I gather it's difficult to expose for a good negative and a good instant 
print at the same time.   

You can fit the packs to 120 roll film cameras as well as to 4x5 LF 
sheet-film cameras, so I'm betting you could load it onto your Speed Graphic and 
explore -- waaaaaay cool.   To check it out, visit this URL:

Drop me a note if you use it.   I'd be interested in hearing your results.
