I thought that due to the demise of polaroid, at least film-wise, I would start a LF polaroid thread. Type 55, 809, 57, all is fair game.
If anyone knows anyone at Fuji, please, convince them to pickup the pieces and make type 55 again.
Made this afternoon with my tiny no-name rectilinear lens on Type 55...
What demise?

Here's some 55 that was left in the clearing bath a little to long.
Oh, come on, it is all over the major news outlets in that last couple of weeks. Polaroid has, or will, cease production of all instant film products within a few weeks.Originally Posted by Steve Kefford
I don't shoot a ton of polaroid, but I always have some T55 in the fridge and I'm going to miss it when its gone.
Dave, that's absolutely beautiful !!
Does anyone want to buy a T-55 clearing bucket? I suppose the value has gone from "not much" to "nothing at all".I'll miss T-55 a bit, but will miss T-52 more.
FYI, Hollis, several previous threads about the Polaroid situation have been merged into the following:

Today being President's Day, and a day off for me, I decided to burn my last 9 sheets of Type 55, so I biked over to the Mausoleum where the Stanfords are entombed (on the Stanford University campus) and the nearby memorials and cactus garden and shot all 9 sheets. 2 ended up blank (I guess I never really learned how to make sure that the packet "caught," oh well, that's a skill I may never need) but the rest turned out OK, without any white corners, and with only a wee streaking on one (more skills I finally mastered, to no further use). Anyway, here are the four OK ones of the 7 that turned out.

This was just supposed to be a test shot .... but I kept the negative.
