After I eagerly purchased my 669 Polaroid film for the Polaroid Land Camera (95a model) I rushed home to load the camera and begin playing. Unfortunately, my camera takes the roll film from Polaroid which is already obsolete. I shed a few tears, had a moment of silence, and went straight to Cam-Tek. Cam-Tek is a local doctor's office for cameras. Allegedly, this man knows all there is to know about anything there is to do with cameras, but when I placed my Polaroid on the counter he looked at me, turned his nose in the air, and said, "I don't touch those." I had to hold back my giggles. You would have thought I placed roadkill on his dinner table.
The man explained that he hadn't worked with Polaroid in ages, and despite the fact that he owned the exact same model as me, he had no knowledge of how to make the thing work much less what film to use. I was thoroughly disappointed and went home to do a little research via the world wide web. Luckily, my buddy Dan is a great Googleizer and between our brains we found a solution in no time.
This
website has what looks to be like my summer project.
I can't wait to get started!
