Finally used some of my Polaroid FP-100C last night, and I have a couple of questions.
After developing, how long does it take for the film to dry? ie., how long before you can stack photos without having any issues? I/we left them on the counter for about 30 minutes or more, but I noticed when I put them on the scanner, they con of 'stuck' a little. Nothing happened to the photos, but it made me question how long they should be left alone. I also noticed a fair amount of dust once scanned, which I think is now on the photo surface.
As for the quality, they seem really good, but they certainly aren't as sharp as I was expecting. Fuji says the film has a resolution of 15 l/mm, which I'm guessing limits it's ability to reproduce 'tack sharp' images, am I correct?
And a question that is probably more specific to my camera (Mamiya RB67 ProSD with Mamiya Polaroid back (not NPC)) - How much more is captured then what I'm seeing in the finder? It seems like a lot, and that I'm wasting a lot of film area. The photo below was framed almost to where she filled the frame vertically, but there seems to be quite a bit of headroom left unused.
Here is a sample shot. I was focused on the eye closest to the camera, and it just doesn't seem as sharp as I was hoping.
