POLAROID 665 3X4 PACK FILM HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED THE L45S IS A PERFECT ALTERNATIVE FOR THOSE WHO WERE ENTHUSIASTS OF THE POSITIVE/ NEGATIVE FILM AND WHILE USING A CAMERA WITH RANGEFINDER AND COUPLED PARALLAX CORRECTION USING POLAROID T55 SHEET FILM
POLAROID 4X5 SHEET FILMS ARE MARGINALLY SMALLER THAN 4X5 BUT POLAROID 4X5 PACK FILMS WERE ONLY MARGINALLY LARGER THAN 3X4 AND NOT 4X5 BY ANY STANDARDS.
POLAROID CONTINUES TO MAKE ALL OTHER 3X4 PACK FILMS WHICH FIT THE lL45S THRU THE POLAROID 405 HOLDER AND FUJI MAKES FILMS FOR THE 550 TYPE HOLDERS BUT ARE NOT 4X5 BUT MUCH SMALLER.
WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF POLAROID 4X5 SHEET FILMS AND THE POLAROID 545I TO OBTAIN 4X5 QUALITY RESULTS ON A 4X5 LIKE EXPENDITURE
NOTE: The parallax lines in the viewfinder are slightly more rectangular than the film, and to get 100% of what the finder sees into the film one must pay attention to the longest side. i.e. / when taking a vertical portrait the sides are true and the top and bottom give you slightly more on the finder, and when taking a horizontal picture of a landscape when the top and bottom are considered for cropping in a horizontal setting, the sides will be slightly larger in the finder.Cropping with these cameras provides excellent results, and we are bringing attention to this issue for those who like to crop tight, yet fully aware at the same time that the difference noted has not been a concern to our customers and that after extensive testing we still consider this coupled parallax system to be more convenient and a useful tool to our customers and the only coupled parallax system in a camera that provides a what is considered in the industry as a full 4x5 image onto the film.IMPORTANT: The parallax correction on this customized camera was intended to reflect a true 4 x 5 film size as is the case with regular films, and as Polaroid 4 x 5 Positive prints are slightly smaller than regular 4 x 5 films but the Polaroid negatives T55 produces are true 4x5 therefore our representation of parallax accuracy refers to the use of regular 4 x 5 films. or Polaroid negatives in the T 55 films Note that this camera shoots both regular films and Polaroid films 4 x 5 and 3 1/4
