2nd Polaroid arrived today
« on: February 01, 2011, 01:05:14 PM »
I took delivery of a second polaroid camera today, earlier than expected, happy days.

Sorry for the digital image  ::)

Its the 250 model with 10 flash bulbs and 3 packs of type108 film dated 1976!
should be fun to use . . .

any hints and tips would be greatly welcome on the film, I know its gonna be hit
and miss as regards results. Does it need to be coated ?

Camera seems in good condition, clean but I have to modify the battery source . . .

Digital...there's a time and a place for it. Usually the place is not here, but there's always a pass given in the event that you're taking a photo of a proper camera  ;)

The 250 should see you right. Nice camera. Expect nothing from the film and you may end up being surprised. You should have all the info you need re the battery situation (I assume you read the various threads here about modding Land Cams for newer batteries?
