Description: Offered is a sweet and later* model original Polaroid Land 250 folding camera, features folding bellows and automatic exposure. *The main advantages of this model are the Zeiss Ikon-designed rangefinder, with projected frame lines and parallax compensation, tripod mount, and 3 element glass lens (114mm f8.8). Item displayed on a small acrylic display tray, in a rubberwood (rustic finish) and acrylic case, creates a striking vintage-looking retail or museum exhibit. The curio box, as the cover sits securely in the groove carved around the base keeps the showcased item dust-free. This contemporary display case is an excellent way to show-off such a great piece of film photography history!
Measures: Device; 7.5 L x 3 W x 6 H inches. Case; 13.25 L x 9.5 W x 9.5 H inches.
Included items: Device, case, acrylic display tray.
About the item: The 250 is one of the higher-end models of the 100-400 series line of folding Packfilm Land Cameras, similar to the 100, 350, 360 and 450 models; it lacks the electronic development timer of the later (higher-numbered) models, but early models of the 250 have a larger viewfinder window than the later Zeiss-Ikon rangefinder models - both models of eyepiece are functionally identical but the earlier model has a larger window at the rear. Partway through the 250's life cycle the viewfinder was changed to match the same type that would be used on the 350 and 450 models, effectively meaning there were 2 versions of the 250 produced.
Note: See my other listings for a companion piece - Voigtlander Perkeo I Folding Camera.
