Hi! What impressed me most was the dynamic range! Would never expect this from an instant film expired for more than 20 years. Amazing! Hope the modern magics can improve the dynamic range on their formulas. Today, contrast is still quite strong. But that's what we have for now. So... relax and enjoy :) Thanks for the video! All the best!

ya Type 55 is quite resilient when stored well. It's definitely showing it's age when you look closely but overall it's still looking amazing. The new stuff we shot is definitely looking better than ever though

That 8x10 peel apart film is fantastic. I have some old 55 that I hadn’t thought would be any good, but now I’m thinking it’s going to be great. The newer Polaroid B&W is getting better for sure.

My pro tip is I always squeeze the pods a little bit beforehand to make sure they are still soft. That's why all these I shot that day came out. And yes 809 is unbeatable!!

Peel apart film was always amazing. A comparison with integral film is totally unfair. Even old integral film from the 80s didn’t have the same latitude of peel apart. And the new BW formula is truly great.

I knew type 55 would win as I used peel- apart in college and loved it, and especially having a negative too! I loved all the peel apart films. For me Polaroids and Fuji just don't cut it. Theyre not as sharp and don't have enough range of tones. Just wish it came back😢

Ya 55 is one of the greatest films of all time. Modern stuff is getting better though. Behind a nice lens like a I-2 or a modded 110A, Polaroid or Instax can be insanely sharp. Fuji cameras are just too soft.

Nice video, thanks! I still have around ~50 sheets of 54, 55 and 59 Polaroid and am trying to find a good use of them. About 55, one had to choose to expose either for positive or negative. Wanting a good negative, the positive is overexposed and the opposite is true. My choice was for the negatives, which had an amazingly smooth tonal range. By the way, I love the high contrast of modern Polaroid; it's a totally different stuff, with different goals.

I’m curious what it would’ve looked like to throw an SX 70 into the mix, Mamiya RB w a Polaroid back and like a 670 SLR Time Machine etc With that said, I really appreciate this video guys super helpful . Admittedly, feeling a little sad about the implications, but like you said, hopeful that the formula will continue to improve in the years to come.

I would say they wouldn’t be that much different than the I-2 really since they are the same format and all shot with continuous lighting. And the I-2 is quite sharp.

Type 55 is 50ASA film. I shot it at box speed. The negative it provides is more like 32ASA but is still plenty usable with a scan. Super sharp and low grain.

Of what? Type 55?? 20 sheets come in a box. I've seen em sell for that much but normally I don't buy over $125 at max. But that means I let a lot of listings go. If you're talking 809, then ya that can go for $5-700 and 15 sheets in a box.

Peel apart really should only be used for specific purposes and shoots these days. There's a finite amount of it left and it feels wrong to use it for anything other than an important studio or portrait session with a high-profile model or celebrity. (in my humble opinion) Like this video, great example of how it should be used today, controlled, aux lighting etc. Literally, every single piece of film is aging differently and will look different from the same box just from age alone. If the bottom slide has been closer to the fridge freezer and slightly cooler etc.. You can argue that street portraiture IS just as important theoretically from a photography standpoint however it really makes sense to me to stick to banging out stuff you can get virtually anywhere and cheaply

Saving aging peel apart for "special shoots" is why more and more of it is drying up unused... Smoke 'em if you got 'em, I say.

It should be used for whatever the owner wants to do with it. Looking at film from a cost/value perspective aligns with commercial thinking, not artistic.

@@sprkplg as I said it previously it's my opinion. The same mindset could be applied to selling it for 300 bucks and buying tons of new film and capturing even more subjects in "artistically" the same way. This is 2024 and unfortunately no matter how you look at it cost is absolutely a factor. We still all use film for a reason but it's for a reason we love so it's worth it. If you wanna spend 300 bucks and wing it go for it, all I'm saying is it so be best left to controlled environments in my opinion, and you could take the same photos on the newer stuff or just use kentmere and darkroom it or something.
