Shot hundreds of these. Spectacular images. This entire Koss catalog was shot on 8x10 polaroid <http://www.imagist.com/lma/pg08_lmacatalogs.html> Here's one link - but it's not the "blue" vintage. <http://www.polaroid.com/service/userguides/photographic/ 8x10user_72dpi.pdf> I could copy and send my "blue" manual but I'd have to get to the studio and find it.
