Comments about Polaroid Polaroid 55 4x5 B&W Sheet Film (20) An extremely high-resolution positive/negative sheet film for finely detailed black and white prints and negatives.:
since Polaroid has stopped making it, my review doesn't count for much. I would like to see some enterprising company pick it up, it's a unique product for a growing niche market...alternative process photographers

Comments about Polaroid Polaroid 55 4x5 B&W Sheet Film (20) An extremely high-resolution positive/negative sheet film for finely detailed black and white prints and negatives.:
No Technical information was available on the box.
My 4x5 Polaroid holder which worked beautifully with some old type 54, would not release the 55 film. I was on a job and was very thankful to have the out of date 54 with me. I threw away the box of 55.
Very expensive experiment.

I am using type 55 with a Speed Graphic and I am really happy with the results. With a calibrated rangefinder and a well timed shutter, its like using an oversized 35mm... a REALLY oversized 35. Just leave the holder in the camera and dont process the images until your done shooting for the day. (you can cheat and pull a few to make sure that the "sunny 16" hasnt changed, but you run the risk of ruining a good frame) All in all, I love being able to have the neg for the polaroid that everyone loves.
