They don't make an 8x10 version of type 55 pos/neg - where you get a nice
big 8x10 polaroid negative full of detail - which is what we are talking
about

Mix and match - colour pod from one type of film and the actual film from
another type - gives you a rich sort of chocolate brown coloured print. But
in 8x10 it means you have to buy a pack of each and throw the unused parts
of each away. In 20x24 Polaroid actually will sell the packs separately as
it's quite popular in that format - you expose a 809 negative and process in
a 804 pod and receptor - in 8x10 you have to buy a pack of each.

(not a very good example)

I think Joyce Tenneson uses it a lot
