    Looking for someone with experience in Polaroid 891 film.

    Any suggestions on who I can contact to find someone who still has the equipment, and the knowledge, to use Polaroid 891 (transparency) film?
    If so, please PM me.

    I've searched through these forums, and have not been successful.

    Thanks for the help!!

    Found someone.
    Thanks for the help.

    I needed someone I could give some Polaroid 891 sheets to, and test for me.

    I've only shot one 8x10 polaroid transparency...it's really fun to use even though the color was way off

    You're very lucky if you still have some good stock laying around!

    I have two open boxes, and one sealed box. I sent some samples from each open box to a photographer who has worked with these "back in the day".
    There is some very cool stuff being done with these old transparencies, if you can find them.

    Good deal for him. He gets to shoot some and keep the sheets, and I get some expert opinion (and scans of results) so I can try and sell what's left.

    Wish me luck, and thanks for thoughts!

    I was able to have one of the sheets tested. I mailed three, but didn't package them right and two "pod" broke open.

    Very cool effect!
    Threw them on eBay.

    Thanks for the help!
