<fontfamily><param>Arial</param><smaller> The incorpration of a timer
on a Polly back reminds me of some of the older cameras that had this. I
find that I am pulling the proofs out with a hand that is attached to an
arm that has a wristwatch on it anyway so he extra timer would be a pest.
What you really need is a thermometer and a calender.

I think you meant the 545 Pro. From the Polaroid web site:
http://www.polaroid.com/products/instant_cameras/filmholders/545pro/index.html
"Features:
Timer: When an exposed sheet of film is pulled from the film holder,
a new built-in timer takes the guesswork out of when to peel apart the
film.
An audible signal is activated for the specific film type used.
<bold>The timing is even adjusted for changes in the ambient
temperature</bold>."
Not exactly a thermometer, but it may help. Polariod sheet film is
really
time/temperature sensitive and since I use it only for proofs,
consistant
results are important and - alas - hard to get.
