Simple question (I think). I have an original 4x5 #500 Polaroid film back in goo d working order (its nice to have something solid made out of metal). I have beg un using type 55 positive/negative film, and of course in the field it is diffic ult to process the negative with the sodium sulfite solution and fix. It is also very cumbersom to try to hold the negs in water until I get home to process the m.
I notice on my 500 back a metal latch at the bottom of the back and I am wonderi ng if this will release the film packet so I can remove it without processing, t hen I could put it back in after I am home and processing normally. If I obvious ly could just try it to find out, but didn't want to waste a sheet of film if so meone out there already knew the answer.
Has anyone tried this?
