I for one do!  Transfers and emulsion lifts are quite tricky with a 
digi-camera.  I use a lot of Type 55 as well, instant very high quality (if 
a little contrasty)neg.
Example at http://www.f32.net/cgi-local/discus/show.cgi?13/198. Polaroid has 
some unique creative properties.

Greetings,

You're not alone Robert, Polaroids are wonderful.  I really miss the 200 
speed test market Sepia film.  IMHO it was much better that the 400 speed 
replacemnt.  Listen to me complaining while poor Uncle Dick can't even get 
the stuff!

http://www.f32.net/Services/Photographers/PeteCaluori.html the image at the 
bottom right is an 8x10 Polaroid image transfer made from a 4x5 trannie and 
you are correct - you can't do that digitally.

Regards, Pete
