I agree Darr. I have to admit, I've always been a Polaroid fan. But now that I'm in my serious and mature mode as a photog (Originally Posted by darr

) , I appreciate it more than I ever did. Polaroid deserves our support just as much as any of the other photo product manufacturers.
According to Polaroid the exposure compensation for a filter #6 is 2/3 of a stop. I always thought that a #5 was 2.5 stops? Is this something to do with the film or my lack of understanding?
Hold that, I'm an idiot, misread the polaroid table, they meant 'filter number' not 'filter factor' and it's not good reading for this film, a red filter (25) needs 3.5 stops compensation - OUCH! With a film this slow could be that I'll have to hold my skies a different way...
Finally got my 'Polaroid land Photography' by AA and the film arrives next week, should shut me up for a bit followed by more questions no doubt!
Thanks to everyone so far for your advice and help here on the thread and via PM.
