    Polaroid 665 on location

    Just wondering if anyone could share suggestions or advice on how to use 665 away from the lab. Do you carry a tank with you?

    thanks!

    If you're going home at the end of the day, just clear the negatives once you're home.

    At least if iirc, that's how I did it, albeit I didn't shoot too much of the stuff since it was going bye-bye when I was first getting into shooting with film

    Thanks Daniel, how do you protect it from scratches?
    I started tossing the negatives on a tray with water to fix them later and I got all sorts of scratches.

    Bring a yankee 4x5 tank filled with water and keep the negatives there for the day. Check the links in this thread --> http://www.largeformatphotography.in...id-665-pn-film

    Tupperware containers sound like a good idea, thanks!

    I cleaned out a peanut butter tub, filled it with water and brought it with me.
    With that kind of container, there's no risk of the lid coming off, since it screws in.
    When I got home, I washed the negs and hung to dry.

    I mostly do type 55, but it's about same. Make sure that you separate negs in water, yankee tank, jobo rails or similar. Negs become very soft in water and will scratch each other.
