Very RARE Polaroid 800 Land Camera – 1957 to 1962 PROFESSIONAL vintage CAMERA

800 Land Camera designed and manufactured by Polaroid from 1957 to 1962. It is previously owned and in nice cosmetic condition with the exception of some damage to the metal trim below the view finder. Everything else looks ok. It hasn’t been tested, so it is being sold “AS IS” for parts or repair. I will include the user manual in PDF format when purchased.

About The Polaroid 800 Land Camera: The Polaroid 800 Land Camera is an instant film camera produced by Polaroid from 1957-1962. It has a coupled rangefinder, parallax correction, and a hot shoe. The 800 also features a carefully selected high precision 130mm f8.8 three element glass lens, an electronically tested shutter, and permanently lubricated roller bearings. The camera also has a polished steel body with a light tan textured coating and bellows that collapse for compact storage when not in use.

The Polaroid 800 has both a viewfinder window and a rangefinder window on the back of the camera. The shooter must look through the rangefinder window to focus the camera and then through the viewfinder window to compose the image. Unlike many Polaroid cameras that utilized pack film, the 800 model uses instant roll film. Roll film came in two rolls with a positive and negative, and was exposed inside the camera. This was different from pack film that develops outside the camera.
