Price (S$): $199
Description:
Dear All,
Selling the Polaroid 450 vintage folding cameras that are still taking awesome pictures after half a century!
These cameras use a type of instant film called the packfilm, which are still readily available from Fuji Film.
Pardon me for low res sample pics taken from iphone:
Fuji FP-100c for daylight photography
Fuji FP-3000b for indoor or night photography without flash.
Possible to use colour film for indoors with a modern electronic flash with pc sync cord. However, cameras are M sync and not X sync in nature, you might get some experimental results.
The difference between the 450 and the other lower models are as follows:
Metal body construction
Zeiss Ikon single window rangefinder
Auto Electronic Timer (refurbished)
Genuine Leather Strap
Comes with plastic front case covering
These cameras uses old style batteries no longer available in the market today. I have already done the hard work for you by modifying them to take modern lithium batteries. They will last much longer than with the original battery. I have also tested and did a general clean up on the cameras. Both shutter and electronic timer works.
1mth personal warranty
Original Instruction Manuals at $5. Limited copies only.
Extra knowledge for the enthusiast only: Some might have read online with users citing that these cameras with electronic timer will jam the fuji films due to their extra bulge.
I have own every good model of the polaroid packfilm cameras and I can tell you that I've had fuji film jamming on my mechanical timer models, and even my polaroid 250 without timer. The problem is not with the camera's timer, but the soft plastic back plate of the fuji film, the type of film (silk jams more), and the pulling technique (which i'll teach).
I'm throwing in a free original polaroid filmpack metal backplate with these cameras to ease the jamming problems. Swap them with the fuji filmpacks and do not throw them away
