612 Polaroid???
« on: March 26, 2008, 04:49:57 PM »
Just snagged a few boxes of expired Polaroid 612 from a junk store for a buck a box.

Anyone have any sage words of advice for shooting such fast film?

I'm probably going to hook it up to a telescope somehow, but was wondering if anyone here had experience with it before I wreck a box?


Thanks in advance
 :) :)

looks interesting. check out this idea to make your own x-rays:

says 612 would be perfect.

you could try making a pinhole sized aperture for behind the lens.
