Polaroid 1000 Instant Film Camera

I figured out the three important rules for taking nice Polaroid photos: shoot and let them develop at a reasonable temperature, set the exposure wheel at the darkest setting, and shoot in good light. Sonar Autofocus – Labelled as both Pronto! and OneStep models, but usually with an AF or Sonar moniker.

The Land Camera 1000 exists with 2 different coloured shutter buttons - green and red; there is some debate among collectors as to which is more common. In my opinion, it’s the best Polaroid camera out there, AND it will always be a conversation piece whenever you pull one out.

When many users complained that focusing was difficult, especially in dim light, a split-image rangefinder prism was added. This feature is standard on all later manual focus models.
