Vintage Camera: Polaroid Land Camera 95


This past weekend, I bought a vintage (circa 1950) Polaroid Land Camera 95 for $5 at a tag sale. The "95" was the first Polaroid Land camera and first commercially successful self-developing camera system. Its a pretty cool contraption and heavy as hell.

The one I bought is hardly a museum piece. I've got a few vintage (mostly obsolete Polaroid) cameras around and I'm happy to add this one to my nascent collection.

I'm toying with the idea of modifying it to shoot medium format film...we'll see where that goes. As if I'm not busy enough already.

Now I need to get lucky and find someone unknowingly sitting on an old Leica or Hassy...
