Classic Fixed Lens Rangefinders:

Polaroid Automatic 250 Land Camera
by Karen Nakamura

 

 

Overview and Personal Comments

I bought this at a yard sale in Topsham, ME for about $5.

 

Interesting quirks

The rangefinder on this unit is made by Zeiss. Too bad the lens wasn't since the lens doens't seem all that great, in my experience. You can't control much on this unit, just some rudimentary shutter speeds.
