Polaroid sells the biggie film. Has done for many years. Costs about $50 a
sheet. Studio rental with camera is something like $1,000/day.
Yes, indeed, the mind whorffles at the logistics.
Thank goodness for the likes of Mr. Maitani who brought photography down to
human size.

Where do you get Polaroid film this huge?!...and making a camera that big
has its own set of problems, like, say, getting a lens to cover that kind
of
image circle...yow. Film holders...dark slides...changing bags...the mind
boggles.
