ken_riley4 Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 -Lens: Meniscus (single element, plastic) -Shutter: Single speed rotary, everset, 1/200 second -Flash: built-in flashgun for AG-1 bulbs -Exposure setting assisted via built-in photometer -Fixed focus -Rigid white plastic body COLLECTOR'S NOTE: Probably the most common/plentiful camera of any kind ever made (and therefore basically worthless in today's market). Literally millions were sold. This camera was very inexpensive compared with all other previous Polaroid cameras, and introduced a lot of young people to instant photography. [...and the heavy advertising towards the youth market didn't hurt either.] Info used here is from The Land List: http://www.rwhirled.com/landlist/landhome.htm Collector's value: $1-$5 See our picture below.

larrydressler Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 It was voted 0ne of the top Tech inventions of the last 100 years by PC magazine. It put instant Photography within the reach of teens and poor people. I had a few. I have 1 now that is becoming a Franken Camera with a lens from a A95 and 120 rollers installed. A work in progress I work slow. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
