Model 95 with the original box. This a digital photo of one of the original (the first one) Polaroid Land Cameras. These cameras were named "Land" after the inventor Edwin Land, not referring to use on land. These were first sold in 1948 for $89.75. Model 95 was manufactured from 1948-1953.



Polaroid Print Copier Model 240. This is a very interesting device for use with most of the Polaroid Roll-Film models. This print copier was used to take a picture of  a pre-existing picture, or to make a copy of one of your prints taken by these cameras. Polaroid made 3 models of these Print Copiers. One for use with most of the larger models the (95,  95A, 95B, 100, 150, 700, 800). Another model print copier was made for the Pathfinders (110, 110A, 110B, 120). A third was made for the Highlanders (80, 80A, 80B).
I do not think that any print copiers were made for the J66 or J33. I also seem to recall using one of my early model 900's to make copies, but the model 240 may not have been designed to use the model 850 or 900 cameras but they probably work. These Print Copiers also fold up for compact storage. I have all three models and when I have the time will include more pictures.
Model 95 A and B the "Speedliners"  These models were manufactured from 1954-1957 for the A and 1957-1961 for the B.
Model 800. Manufactured from 1957-1961. This models original price was $126.00.This camera had a specially selected shutter and long-life roller bearings. The 800 also had a 10 year guarantee.
Model 150. Manufactured from 1957-1960. It had an original price of $109.95.
Model 900. This model had an original selling price of $159.95 and was manufactured from 1960-1962 or 63. This model Polaroid was the first one to have an electrically controlled shutter. This camera may (?) have been the FIRST CAMERA with programmed (shutter and aperture) auto exposure!
Model 850. This model was a cheaper version of the model 900 above.  It had an original price of $139.95. The main difference of the model 850 was that it had a separate rangefinder/viewfinder window and was a different color than the model 900.
Model 120. Manufactured in Japan mainly for overseas distribution, from 1961-1965. I was unable to find any info about the original selling price of this model. This model also has  a Yashica-Yashinon 127 mm, f/4.7 lens and a Seikosha-SLV shutter. This model was also designated a "Pathfinder" as were models 110,110A and 110B. This model is fairly hard to find and is not very common.
Model 100. This model should not be confused with the "Automatic 100" the first Polaroid packfilm model that came out in 1963. Model 100 was manufactured from 1955-1956. I could also not find any info about the original selling price for this model. This model is the same as models 95A and 95B except that it has special long-life foller bearings and also has a heavy duty shutter for industrial use. It is also black in color. This model is the most uncommon and hardest  to find of all of these roll-film Polaroid cameras. I was very lucky to find this one with the original manual on eBay.
Please wait for the many pictures to load, it may take a few minutes. This web page is devoted to all fellow collectors of Polaroid Roll-Film Cameras. I started collecting these cameras about 32 years ago. My first one was the Model 800 that still had film in it. The film still produced pictures after some experimentation. I purchased that camera in a local thrift store. I soon became fascinated with these cameras and found that the best ways to find them was to look in thrift stores and pawn shops. This was before personal computers became so popular. With the advent of the PC and the Internet and subsequent purchase of  several PC's I have found a new way to collect these cameras.
I bought my latest PC almost 1 year ago and immediately started exploring the internet. To make a long story short, I started buying things on eBay (the best computer auction site)many years ago. Much to my surprise I discovered that people were selling these Polaroid Roll-Film Cameras on eBay. I soon found that this was a much better way to collect, than driving all over town to the thrift shops. I then started adding to my collection over time. A few months ago I purchased a newer and much better digital camera  and that was when the idea came about to put together a web page showing what some of these cameras look like. I have learned alot about these cameras over the years. These roll-film model started being sold in 1948 and were produced until 1963 or 64 when the pack-film models were introduced. This web page will be devoted to these
Polaroid Roll-Film models only and will be updated from time to time, when I get more time. Thanks and have fun looking.
Model 110. Manufactured from 1952-1957. This one had an original selling price of $249.50. This model was the first of the "Pathfinders" series consisting of these other models, 110A (not shown), 110B and the 120. This model has a Wollensak Raptar 127mm f/4.5 lens and a Wollensak Rapax  shutter with speeds from 1 sec.--1/400 plus Bulb.
Model 110B. Manufactured from 1960-1964. This model had an original selling price of $172.50. This camera had a Rodenstock Ysarex or Enna 127mm f4.7 lens with a Prontor SVS shutter with speeds from 1 sec.--1/300 plus Bulb. Not shown is the Model 110A which was manufactured from 1957-1960 and sold for $169.50. These two models are very similar.
Model J66. This model was manufactured from 1961-1963 and had an original price of $89.50. This model was to be used only with the 3000 speed black & white film. This model also had an "Electric Eye" system that was controlled by a selenium cell galvanometer shutter which had continuously variable speeds. The aperture was determined by the position of  a lighten-darken control. This J66 is most likely to be the most common of all of the roll-film models.
Model J33 with original box. This model was manufactured from 1961-1963 and had an original selling price of $74.95 This camera also used the smaller Polaroid roll-film. This J33 had an "Electric Eye"and the same type exposure system as the J66. The J33 did not have the same pop-up viewfinder of the J66 This model is not nearly as common as the J66.
Model 80. Manufactured from 1954-1957 with an original price of $69.95. This model was the first of the "Highlanders" which include 80A (not shown) made from 1957-1959 and sold for $72.75 and the 80B (not shown) made from 1959-1961 and sold also for $72.75. These Highlanders were the first to use a smaller sized Polaroid roll-film.
