The only Polaroid film that was sharp for medium format was type 55, and you needed to check the negative with a loupe. Polaroid was mostly good for checking lighting and getting client sign-off before committing to film.

I've mostly use type 100, but if you think that is not sharp, you'll be in for a surprise with Instax (it's similar to SX-70 film).

I don't think you can get a client sign off with Instax, it will not look like the final product.

I am referring to the days when a client or art director understood that a Polaroid was representative but not anywhere near the final image. Today, with tethering, clients need (and generally have) little or no imagination.

Both Polaroid and Instax films, indeed, all instant films, including the 35mm instant Polaroid roll film, take experience and forethought to be able to use effectively, more art than science, and many will fail to develop a feel (no pun) for it.

On one of my last packs of b&w Polaroid last fall, only40% of. parts of the film would develop, yet I was able to gain useful data for my film photography from it.

I advise you see what info you can use from any of these films you can gather, you might surprise yourself at what you will find useful.

I find the viewfinder image plus a digital camera shot to confirm lighting is more than sufficient.

Our methods and tools change as time passes and we accept much that is new, as analog itself evolves.

All is new again.
