Indistinct Metalworker<p>My first few post-flight test shots were inconclusive due to photographer error, but the ultimate verdict is: the film was fine! Both the partial pack that was in the camera and the spare pack. FWIW it was one of the newer style of scanner where you don't have to take electronics out, but not the futuristic-looking CT scanner. YMMV, of course.</p><p>The other <a href="https://sometimes.when.computer/tags/Polaroid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Polaroid</span></a> lesson learned this week: I don't love the color frames for travel photography.</p>

Indistinct Metalworker<p>I'm flying with a Polaroid for the first time in years. I had everything ready to ask for my film to be hand-screened, but the security line was bonkers so I decided not to interrupt the flow. Now I get to be the latest participant in the great How Badly Do the Newer Scanners Mess Up Modern <a href="https://sometimes.when.computer/tags/Polaroid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Polaroid</span></a> Film? experiment.
