Several yeas ago - 2002 or 3 as I recall - I took a workshop led by
Mark Klett who used Polaroid negatives at that time for some of his
landscape work. He gave an in-field demonstration - basically using a
view camera with Polaroid back. After he extracted the negative he put
it in a rack which dropped into a container full of sodium sulfite
solution (I assume standard hypo clear.) At the end of the day he'd pull
the negs out of the solution, clean then up, rise and dry. He spoke very
highly of the quality of the Polaroid neg - I don't know if the film he
used then is still avoiable but it looked like an simple approach to LF
photography.

I think that's 'real' film … :-)
I'd been meaning try the process for a while. Basically, you take a photo, wash
the backing off the negative with a light chlorine solution, and then wash and
dry the negative. I shot a few test frames to see how it would go. The results
are good, but the photos aren't anything I want to post. It was a test …
I think I can do the same with FP-3000b, have to experiment.
Of course, with integral type films (Impossible film for Spectra, SX-70, etc)
there is no separable negative so with those I have to scan or photograph the
original positive, and then print that. The original print is still 'real'
film… :-)

Um... yes but did you use real film to do it? You scanned it and printed from
the scan - correct ?
Um, yesterday. I printed two of my Polaroid shots to 9x12.

I'm talking 'real film' - when's the last time you saw an enlargement from a
Polaroid?
