Century Studio 10A w/8x10 back
Wollensak Raptar 11 7/8" / 4.5
Ilford HP5 Plus / Adonal 1+50

Very nice work. I like a lot the b&w of this image.

How do you expose your expired Type 55? I ask because I am either able to get a properly exposed positive with a grossly underexposed negative, or a properly exposed negative with an overexposed positive. You manage to get both exposed well at the same time. Magic!

Here we go!
For start myself on Polaroid 55, Sinar C4x5 and Rodenstock Sironar 240mm f5,6 at f8. Quick autotest

Nice image, and even more interesting to me is how it totally negates my opinion that almost all of the remaining Polaroid stock is a waste of time due to age, reagent pod dryness, etc. Wonderful proof that there may still be life in some of that old stock!
