A friend gave me a box with a few Polaroid slide films and a Power Processor.
The processor had some rusty rollers and stuck bearings but after some cleaning and a bit of grease it works well.
The films expired in May 1991.
I shot a roll of Polagraph 400 at 50 ISO (one stop per decade) in my T90 and set developing time to 3 instead of the specified 2 minutes.
The results are better than expected. The film seems to be lower contrast and actually yields some halftones.
As with all expired instant 35mm films the black layer sticks to the positive (slide) instead of the egative and has to removed manually.
It can be trubbed off under running water but that and the squeegeeing produces some scratches in the delicate emulsion.
If anyone knows a better way to remove the black layer please let me know.

The setting sun throws shadows on a fairground slide, creating patterns that emphasise the undulating shape of the slide.
I shot this because of the lines that were thrown across the slide. I wanted to capture the shapes and the way that the rise and fall of the slide were shown by the lines.
We're camped just outside of Hope BC right now and this is what we woke up to. Took the Pup out to do his duty's this morning and he just looked at me and said let's go for it.
This shot is taken where the Hope Slide happened back in early January 1965. Two miles of Highway 3 we're covered with rubble upward of 240 feet deep. Four people we're caught in the slide, they have found 2 of them. The other 2 we're never found.
Funny spend 6 months down south to avoid the white stuff, but sure was excited to see it again this morning
Nikon D4 | ISO 800 | 500mm lens | f / 4.0 | 1/8000 second. Nothing like a day game to freeze the action with a silly high shutter speed.
