Polaroid Land Camera Model 180 W/Tominon 114mm F4. 5 Lens & Shutter Cable
Item History & Price
Polaroid Land Camera Model 180 w/Tominon 114mm f4.5 Lens. A true classic. Zeiss lens. You set the aperture and shutter speed. This was the absolute apogee of the bellows-style Land camera. Light years away from the cheaper models that required batteries.
Rollers are sound and the camera works great (timer, shutter speed, manual, flash settings etc.. I will draw your attention to two cosmetic flaws I have tried to illustrate well in the last two photos: the rangefinder sticker? that ...little sliver of a sticker that shows mountains and heads on the rangefinder slide has come off. I always intended to get one from a throwaway cheaper model and fix it. You can see where it was glued on when the camera was manufactured in Cambridge, Massachusetts. also on the side, another small strip of veneer has come of. Neither of these imperfections interfere with the camera's steller image making qualities. This probably made the nicest images of all the cameras I have owned. I especially like what it does in black-and-white.
here is an essential read if you are considering bidding:
