20×24 Studio and New 55 collaborate on prototype instant 8×10 negative

Nafis Azad with instant 8x10 negative prototype

On May 30, 2012 Nafis Azad, the new Director of Photography at the 20×24 Studio worked with Robert Crowley of New55 to experiment with a prototype 8×10 instant negative. Using reagent and sheet components from 20×24 film, Azad and Crowley were successful in creating a fully developed negative and positive. More experiments are to follow and it is the hope of 20×24 Studio to provide the incredible analog technology available now only in 20×24 format for users of 8×10 cameras. Response from potential customers will be key in guiding us through this process. Comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
