    Thanks Glenn.
    Was wondering if just waiting until I get the film back into a warmer place to develope polaroid is an option?

    If it is cold enough, I'd suggest that this is the ONLY option. Warming in armpit is a time-honored method but can be rather inconsisent. Look very carefully at the temperature-time requirements in the Polaroid data sheet.

    As long as the chemical pod is unbroken, you can wait as long as you want. When I used Polaroid's stuff, I was always too anxious to wait.

    Isn't that the whole point of Polaroid... no having to wait? If only Dr. Land could have made the chemistry a little more cold-friendly!

    Ha! Exacto-mundo. Unless you're shooting Type 55 for the negs, it kinda defeats the whole purpose of shooting 'Roids in the first place.
