Hi everyone,
Not really given it much thought, but this week I took a couple of shots of a church, one on Polaropid type 55 and another on Tmax. Well I am pleasantly suprised. The Polaroid is sharper - is this to be expected? There's not a lot in it, but enlarging to 100% on the screen, details on a gravestone are clearly more defined than on the Tmax neg. I processed in T-max developer for 7 minutes. Maybe the contrast is a bit lower but with a few curves adjustment in PS after scanning then the 55 is superb!
I've heard that Polaroid film is actually Kodak Panatomic-x - is this true? Does anyone know what the lines resolution is of both films?
Anyway, today I one happy bunny! Tomorrow I go to Ely Cathedral for the day to shoot some more Polaroid. Not having a darkroom, I think I will stick with 55. Expensive but it is my one indulgence, LOL.
Kind regards
Steve
