It has been too many years since I loaded a holder
and ran it through the processor
to attempt to describe the process;
even though my body can feel the procedure
;~) and the hear the sound after pushing the button.
Shot hundreds of these. Spectacular images.

This entire Koss catalog was shot on 8x10 polaroid
<http://www.imagist.com/lma/pg08_lmacatalogs.html>

Here's one link - but it's not the "blue" vintage.
<http://www.polaroid.com/service/userguides/photographic/ 
8x10user_72dpi.pdf>
I could copy and send my "blue" manual
but I'd have to get to the studio and find it.

I googled "8x10 polaroid pdf"
to find the above link.
didn't continue looking at what else may be in the list
