Re: Polaroid and an enlarger

Jeremy - although I think it might be possible to use your B&W enlarger, 
there is a piece of equipment you're missing... the Polaroid back.  This 
has rollers that squish out the Polaroid chemicals from the thin pod at the 
one end.  Without this, you can't really produce the print.  Check their 
website for info on the backs, they come in "pack" or single sheet 
versions.  Ebay generally has a few for sale at any given time.

As far as the enlarger, you'd have to experiment.  I've always used either 
the Daylab Jr or 2, or the Vivitar slide printer.

A future project is to use Polaroid film (with the 545i back) in a pinhole 
camera.
