How much is a 1947 95a Polaroid camera worth?
The Polaroid 95a was produced between 1954 and 1957; the original Polaroid was simply the 95 Land camera, without a letter designation, and was manufactured from 1948-1953. The value of your camera depends on its condition. 95a's in average-good condition typically sell for $20-$35, less if heavily worn or damaged. A camera in excellent condition is worth approximately $60. Bear in mind there were approximately 900,000 Polaroid 95 Land cameras manufactured, another 500,000 Polaroid 95a's, and 250,000-300,000 95b's. They're not as rare as people sometimes think.
Where can you find Polaroid 900 film?
Unfortunately, you can't. The Polaroid 900, manufactured from 1960-1963, used 40-series roll film that was discontinued in 1992. Some people have had success converting the camera for use with 100 Pack film (instant exposure) or standard 120 roll film, but claim results are only acceptable. The conversion is permanent and destroys any collectible value the camera may have.
What is the value of a Polaroid 450 land camera?
The only camera Polaroid made in 1950 was the Model 95 Land camera, which originally retailed for $89.75. The company manufactured approximately 900,000 units between 1948 and 1953.The value of the camera depends largely on its condition. Auction prices range anywhere from $10.00 for one in slightly roughed-up condition to approximately $60.00 for one in excellent condition. Most appear to sell for $20-$35.00.
What type of film can be used in a Polaroid 80 Land camera?
You need Polaroid SX-70 film. There is a group of people doing something called The Impossible Project (google that and you'll get to their website) which is recreating Polaroid instant film. This is apparently harder than you think--the company that made the dye Polaroid used, which is very unique stuff, won't make any more nor will they tell you how to do it, so the Impossible people are creating one of their own.
What is the value of a Polaroid 440 Land camera?
This camera sells for $1-5.00 alone, or for $15-25 with original case and manual, depending on condition.More InformationThe Polaroid Model J66 was a simplified Electric Eye camera marketed from April 1961-1963; it is a larger, heavier version of the J33, which debuted in the fall of 1961. Polaroid made nearly 1,000,000 units of this camera, which retailed for $89.99, a lot of money in 1961.The J66 had a 114 mm f/19 (before 1962*) or f/14.5 (1962 and 63) single element plastic lens. The small aperture size (19 or 14.5) meant that the user needed high speed film and/or plenty of light to make a decent picture, the reason the J66 accepted only ASA 3000 film. The camera used a rotating flash with large, round AG-1 bulbs, for direct or bounced light.Some of the cameras drawbacks included it fully automatic exposure feature with no manual override, and the ability to accept only ASA 3000 black & white film. Later, the #660 adaptor kit made color photography possible.You can identify the lens and approximate age of the camera by looking at the colored dot on the lighten/darker control ring. A yellow dot indicates the lens is an f/19, and was manufactured before 1962; a blue or green dot indicate the lens is an f/14.5, manufactured in 1962 or 63. The cameras with yellow dots are rarer than the green or blue dots, but this popular model is still plentiful on the secondary market.[December 2010]
