Sujet : Re: Polaroid 545 question Your description doesn't make sense. Open on L, slide the film into place;
pull the cover, expose the film, return the cover. Pull the lever to P and
pull out the film in a smooth motion.
Are you telling us that in the P position, the rollers open and fail to
press the liquid across the film?
