I was wondering about the 'poor quality' comment. How does polaroid compare
to conventional negative? Thinking in conventional terms the light is cast
over a huge area so it is going to have to be a very fast film. Then again
the bigger is usually much much better which is always the diappointment
with 110, or disk, or APS.
