What is Instant 35mm Polaroid Film?
In 1983 Polaroid introduced an "instant" transparency system for still photography. The unexposed 35mm films came with their own processing pack. The films were processed within a dedicated, hand-powered, mechanical-cranked processing machine called an "AutoProcessor", into which an exposed film and its processing pack had to be loaded.[4][5] The time to get from an exposed undeveloped film to a fully developed film ready for mounting varied from between two and five minutes, depending on the type of film.
There were several types of film. Polachrome was an "instant" 35mm colour transparency film. It was descended from the Polavision system and used the same additive colour (filter) process. One difference was that with Polavision, the negative layer remained as part of the film after processing. It was intended to turn transparent after a short while, but the process was reportedly imperfect[citation needed], reducing contrast. With Polachrome, the black negative layer was discarded after processing.[1] Polapan was a monochrome instant slide film[6] PolaPan is a portmanteau of Polaroid and Panchromatic and it was additionally used in connection with Polaroid picture roll print films Type 42 PolaPan 200 (200 ASA film speed) (also Type 32) and Type 44 PolaPan 400 (400 ASA film speed in Daylight). Polagraph was a high-contrast colour transparency film intended to reproduce subjects like graphs or diagrams. Polaroid also produced PolaScope film Type 410 10,000 ASA high contrast specifically for photographing oscilloscope ("scope") traces. Polaroid AutoProcess slides could be viewed or projected in the same way as 35mm slides made with conventional films.
