Polaroid "Land" Camera
It was manufactured by Polaroid between 1947 and 1983. The name “land” was putted on the camera because Edwin Land retired in 1982. The first camera that became commercially available was the “Polaroid Land Camera Model 95,” which produced prints in about 1 minute and it was first sold in November in 1984. There were at least three different models which were “95, 95A, 95B.” The first Polaroid camera has a 130mm f/8.8 lens and the shutter speed would range from 1/12 to 1/100. Lens for the Model 95 can not be switched out due to the fact it is a foldable camera. The 130mm f/8.8 lens cannot be zoomed in or out.
