Historical Instant Heresy 1
York Cathedral
I decide that I wanted to do something different while I was there and brought 1 pack of the Kodak Instantagraphic with me. I didn't want to bring a Kodak camera with me ( keeping my traveling load light), so I used my Polaroid 440. Processing was a pain...had to manually process it by hand. Lost a few images doing that.
Kodak AVP-144 Instantagraphic Slide Film
I wanted to add these in as a pivotal point for the instant historical timeline...since these are my only surviving images of that film type. I only had 2 packs of the film at the time, little did I know that after 1986 the film would be pulled from the shelves, because of patent infringements with Polaroid.
You can always reckonized AVP-144 Instantagraphic film, because of the orientation arrow used in audio-video presentations. The film size was lightly smaller than the Polaroid Spectra film ( which hadn't been developed for the consumer market yet ) and was exposed from the backside of the film and the process transferred the image to the front of the film (same as Fuji's Instax film and Polaroid Mio film). It had a film speed of 300 ISO and excellant color and resolution for an instant slide film at that time.

Tip:
This film was used in a Polaroid 440. It was force fitted into the film chamber without the film cassette. Processed under the bedsheets at night with no lights, using a ruler as a squeege.
