Re: [Digital BW] Scanning Polaroids

Besides the fact the neg from Type 55 is Pan-X, what we be the  
advantage of shooting it any longer unless you need the instant proof  
and do not have a darkroom? Fuji Quickloads with Acros 100 makes a  
great "no film holders to carry with you" alternative. The film is  
very nice too, very fine grain. Scans great.
