william_varcas Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 <p>Is there any folding Polaroids out there with a split screen focus?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photo5 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 <p>SX-70, but do not know if film is still available for it. I believe the SX-70 is the only SLR that Polaroid made. I had one for a few years and really enjoyed using it. Did the 'use a flashlight on the sensor to vary the exposure in daylight' trick with good results.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew_stott Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 <p>The models 250, 350 and 450 all have the Zeiss rangefinder (not a split screen) on top and take the Fuji peel-apart pack films. There may be other models as well, check out the Land List for a definitive answer</p> <p>Matt</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john carter Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 <p>Also, the 100 series has many RF models, here is a list, take your pick:</p> <p><a href="http://www.rwhirled.com/landlist/landdcam-pack.htm">http://www.rwhirled.com/landlist/landdcam-pack.htm</a></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glenn_mabbutt Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 <p>I have a 250 - the rangefinder is bright and very usable (made by Zeiss as mentioned above). The "Automatic" models like the 250 (usually) go cheap because they are automatic-exposure only and the batteries are no longer produced. I just use 3 x "N" batteries taped together and to the battery leads - this fits in the existing battery compartment without issue. (There may be slight voltage differences as the original battery was mercury, but it seems to be relatively minor.) My 250 with case, close-focus lens and RF adapter, timer, and "Wink" flash (also not so useful anymore) cost US$30 a few years back.</p> <p>The 180 and 195 models allow manual aperture/shutter settings, and are thus more desirable and therefore more expensive, but otherwise function the same way.</p> <p>Not sure what "split-screen focus" means in the original question - as with all rangefinders there is a focus patch.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william_varcas Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 <p>I think I own a polaroid 104 before, they have this focus mechanism or measuring the forehead to the chin with two line. By rangefinder I meant is what you described the two "focus patch" Thanks Glenn and others.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
