Hi Zuiks:

I heard part of a broadcast on National Public Radio the other night. 
Life photographer Joe McNally had opened an exhibition dedicated to the
World Trade Center disaster.

Mr. McNally apparently used a giant Polaroid camera, designed personally
by Dr. Land himself.  Each instant print cost $300!

I found out a little more about the camera at:

I hope that this puts the 645 vs. 35 mm debate in perspective.
