    Good old Panatomic X. Lovely shot and it turned out well. It would have been interesting to shoot a sheet of Panatomic X out of your 4x5 stock to compare against. Maybe another video is in order.

      I believe it's not Pan-X in the later versions (or it's just a legend as there is no real proof), but a film Polaroid made in-house, based on Pan-X. But you are right... I need to do a comparison! Merry Christmas, Scott!

    Thanks for the video. Just so someone says it, those parts of a balustrade are called 'balusters'.

      Thank you for reminding me what they are called. It's been almost 40 years since I studied those terms in art history...

    Goot effort in recovering the sheet of film to make a print out of!

    Film is so much fun, I developed some Kodak tri-x from the 60's. left in a camera, had some construction site shots from the late 60's. Just waiting to be developed....

    I got FP100c, worked good. I tried type 667 , it was a disaster. I dream to use type 55 I was not sure before your video

    Great stuff! Use to use it for test shots mostly in the studio, until I realized how great the negatives were.... still have a box of 55 and N55. I'd better use em up fast, tick tock tick tock

      How old are they? The stuff is so precious, I only want to use my remaining few sheets for something special...

      Thank you! I found this Jacket in a second hand clothing store. Brand name is Pioneer. Canadian company. It's waterproof, bomber style. So many pockets, I can't count them all! 😁

    Question: I have a couple of similar aged Type55s but they have been in the freezer most of that time. I planned on selling them but someone told me that because they were in the freezer the film was completely ruined. So I pulled my listing and they still sit in the freezer. What do you think? I don't want to sell something I know is bad.

    • @analogueandy8x10

      I did hear that freezing the pods will damage the chemistry, and will not work properly. If you still have a 545 holder, I'd expose and process one sheet just to see...You never know! Of course, I'd give several hours for it to thaw out, and go to room temperature first. If you do go that route, please let me know how it went, either here, or by email.

    • @jiml989
      @jiml989 6 дней назад

      I don't have the equipment to load the film, that's why I was selling it. I'll put out some feelers to see if I can borrow a holder. If I can't, I'll just hang on to the film until the Smithsonian comes for it. :) Thanks for your quick response. Subscribed.

      @@jiml989 Thank you for subscribing! Too bad we aren't neighbours. I'd be over with my holder as soon as it had thawed! 😁

    Type 55 usually works. Type 54 however is almost always sand. Makes me sad you're just tossing the print though, for me that's the whole point...

    • @analogueandy8x10
      @analogueandy8x10  5 дней назад

      Well, that's you, right? I only want the negative. Idthink I'd be sad if the negative was tossed. You can only expose for one or the other.
