Amazing! My 4x5 cameras are a Calumet Cambo NX and a Speed Graphic with an Ektar 127 lens which is supposed to be famously sharp but which is not. It's pretty darn soft. I was thinking of blowing some of this Polaroid film on my Speed Graphic anyway and see if i can get that camera going again with me despite the softness. But i really got the Pricey Polaroid stuff to try to get me to just use my NX which i never use. It's got an excellent Fujinon 210 lens which i got at Calumet but now you have to have relatives from Japan to get one. And they have to like you. Mark Rabiner to be continued....
