The 20x24 Camera System Today
The 20x24 Camera—one of six in the world today—is
a sophisticated photographic system that produces high resolution, full color 20x24-inch (50x60 cm) contact photographs in 70 seconds. These features, combined
with its ability to record the most minute detail, make the 20x24 system ideal for large-scale portraiture, fine art and commercial photographic projects.

The system offers three films: Polacolor ER film, perfect
for capturing subtle color nuances such as skin tones, produces a high quality, fine grain, glossy, instant color print; Polapan black-and-white, a high-speed medium contrast film, produces a full range of gray tones with
great smoothness; and the new P6 film, available ony in
the 20x24-inch format, provides remarkably vibrant yet
true color.

Polacolor ER and P6 films are among the most archivally stble films available. They are manufactured with metalized color dyes that are patently fade-resistant.

The camera is a five-foot (1½ m) tall, 225-pound view camera mounted on wheels. Its full-size Fresnel viewing screen facilitates focusing and framing. Lenses ranging from 135mm to 800mm permit minute reduction as well as 10 times magnification. The camera can be set up to duplicate transparencies from 35mm to 8x10-inches (20x24 cm). While Polacolor film is not intended to be a copy film, this technique works well in printing for Image Transfer and Emulsion Lift.
