Polaroid 1000 Instant Film Camera

Product Information

Just below the exposure control is the electric eye. There’s nothing you need to do with this when using the camera except to make sure your finger is not covering it. There are several models of the Polaroid SX-70, as the camera and technology progressed through the years.

One feature of SX-70 integral print film is its ability to be manipulated while developing and for some days after. Because the emulsion is gelatin-based, and the Mylar covering does not allow water vapor to readily pass, the emulsion stays soft for several days, allowing people to press and manipulate the emulsion to produce effects somewhat like impressionist paintings. An example of this technique was used on the cover of Peter Gabriel's third self-titled album from 1980. Another example of emulsion manipulation was the cover of Loverboy's debut album, Loverboy.

The Land Camera is a model of self-developing film camera manufactured by Polaroid between 1948 and 1983. It is named after the inventor, American scientist Edwin Land, who developed a process for self-developing photography between 1943 and 1947. [1] After Edwin Land's retirement from Polaroid in 1982, the name 'Land' was dropped from the camera name. [2] The first commercially available model was the Model 95, [3] which produced sepia-colored prints in about 1 minute. [4] It was first sold to the public on November 26, 1948. [5] Film [ edit ] A Polaroid SX-70 camera, manufactured between 1972 and 1981 The Land Camera 1000 is a foreign-market version of the original Onestep model, meaning it has a fixed focus plastic lens. The model 1000 or original OneStep models are distinguished among the range. They were made available with 2 different coloured shutter buttons – either green or red; there is some debate among collectors as to which was more common. A matching electronic flash was also released for the Onestep/1000 model, known as the Q-Light. It fits onto any SX-70 non-folding camera model but was cosmetically matched to the original models. Features common to the series of OneStep non-folding, fixed-focus SX70-series integral film cameras are: El éxito de la Polaroid 1000 radicaba en su concepto: la alternativa por entonces de Polaroid era la SX-70, una cámara de prestaciones profesionales y orientada por tanto al público profesional. Features common to the series of OneStep non-folding, fixed-focus SX70-series integral film cameras are:I enjoyed experimenting with this old camera and the Impossible film, but with a price of €2,50 per photo, it can become an expensive hobby. This might be the reason why Impossible users seem to be found mostly within artistic circles, while the more casual instant shooters use the cheaper and more developed Fuji Instax film and cameras like the Lomo’Instant. Lately, The Impossible Project has introduced a new enhanced version of their film, so I will be continuing my experiments with this old Polaroid camera! McCusker, J. J. (1997).

The cameras allow for focusing as close as 10.4 inches (26.4cm), and have a shutter speed range from 1/175 s to more than 10 seconds.
