With a nod to the past we present the only app that recreates the look of the classic Type 55 film. Type 55 was a black and white 4X5 sheet film that produced both a positive and negative image. While the positive image was for review and intended to be discarded later, the border proved to be interesting and many famous photographers incorporated it into their final product.
With Photo55 you can finally create iconic Type 55 images with your iPhone and without all the chemical goop.
