 when exposed to strong or UV light, leaving the unexposed part to be
 developed to an autopositive image (same ultimate result as reversal

 If you handle any freshly developed dyeline paper you MUST NOT handle
any
 other film or photographic paper until you've thoroughly washed your
hands,
 because ammonia will completely fog them, whether they're exposed or
not.

Sorry, not being clear.  There was a Polaroid 35mm film that output
similar images to cyanotpye.  White image on a blue background.  It was
used to produce slides of writing for use in AV presentations.  It was
terrifyingly expensive and, before the days of TTL flash, you had to
sacrifice a film in testing to obtin correct exposure.

Guess, I will not be able to get any more film for my Polaroid back for my LX.. 
I will take a photo of it, so the list members can see what it looks like, if 
any of you did not that there was made for the LX. It was made the same time 
when the Nikon F3 version was also out.
But however I still have frozen Polaroid film number's 667 and 669 in the

RE: Another Casualty.

2008-12-25 Thread Anthony Farr
 
 There was also the pre-Powerpoint blueprint film, whose name I forget.  
 

That'll be dyeline paper, a diazo process.  Ilfochrome / Cibachrome also
used azo dyes, which are dyes that whose chemical bonds somehow break down
when exposed to strong or UV light, leaving the unexposed part to be
developed to an autopositive image (same ultimate result as reversal but a
different chemical process).  Dyeline paper is developed in ammonia fumes.
If you handle any freshly developed dyeline paper you MUST NOT handle any
other film or photographic paper until you've thoroughly washed your hands,
because ammonia will completely fog them, whether they're exposed or not.

 I think you needed one of their processing machines, a little hand
 cranked device, to process your film.  I could be wrong.

That fits my recollection (in my case it would be the colour film).

Next time I run across the couple of rolls of images I have from those
days I'll see if either of them was shot using Polaroid film.  I know
I've still got an 8x10 somewhere, too; it was holding up just fine
the last time I came across it (some 15-20 years after exposure).

Re: Another Casualty.

2008-12-23 Thread John Francis

Some of my first forays into digital imaging were with Polaroid.
We had a number of film output devices when I was at Apollo.
Some of them (like the Matrox film recorder) used interchangeable
camera modules.  Apart from the standard 35mm camera back there
was also an Oxberry animation camera (16mm) and Polaroid backs
(one of which took 8x10 sheet film!).

I believe there was also Polaroid-branded 35mm roll film.

SNIP

You're right Scott, the developing device was bought separately, and was
horrendously expensive, IIRC.  The quality of the film was pretty bad,
clumpy grain, but quite good colours.  I shot my last roll only about a
year ago, but never saw the results as the chemicals had given up the ghost,
and after running through the machine there was little if anything there.  I
never found a serious use for it: I think like many Polaroid cameras it was
used for producing home-made porn!

Not exactly news I'm afraid, they basicly stopped doing business about
6-8 months ago and announced the end of all of their real product
lines. I guess the transition from manufacturer to mere brand failed
(as expected)

Seems like there's more to it than just the demise of film though.

I never felt like that brand name was all that special.  My
experience over the years was that they did well with instant films,
but the image quality was always mediocre at best.  It had a use, but
a quality brand name it was not.

I like Karen Nakamura's definition.  A company with great products
but absolutely horrendous marketing. The opposite of Microsoft

Frankly, try some Fuji FP100C and experience what Polaroid's colour
films could have been. Polaroid had a few great products (Type 55
comes to mind) but has been more marketting than product for pretty
much my entire lifetime.

I don't know why companies keep trying that.  It almost never works.  Then 
someone else buys the brand after they fail and slaps it on cheap junk, kind of 
what Poloroid did to themselves...
