You can also be clever and remove the Type 55 packet from the holder after 
taking your shot without processing. Just press the release button and 
withdraw the whole caboodle. You can then clear the neg after processing 
back at home after the shoot with sodium sulphite solution.

The type 55 negs are rather wonderful - great contrast and very little 
grain. They are however on a very thin base so you have to be a little 
careful in printing as they will flap around in your neg holder if you are 
not using glass carriers.

Here's a link to a type 55 that won the British Institute of Professional 
Photography - International Photographic Awards, Polaroid Category in 2002.
