Hello;

I've searched Polaroid's web site and the archive, and can't find an answer for this one:

Where can I find a listing of recommended reciprocity corrections as a function of time for Polaroid Type 55 P/N (they don't have to be official; Somebody else's empirical results will serve as a starting point). I'm more interested in the behavior of the negative than of the positive, if they're different.

Also, does anybody out there have a feel for how the Type 55 neg. behaves under multipop flash illumination? There seems to be 0.5-1 stop of loss going from 1 flash pulse to 4. Is this consistent with what others have experienced?

Thanks,

Patrick

Patrick, not to cut the answer short, but read Polaroid Photography by Ansel Adams, you should be able to get it at your local library. Pat

Generally when I do a multi-pop exposure I start to add an extra pop for every 5 the meter reads. I do this with all film. I am not that surprised that you are losing about a half stop on the Type 55.

Polaroid has print tech sheets (hole punched, even) for all film types. I believe they're still available thur their 800 CS No. Ask them why it's not on the WEB site. too if you think of it
