This is an un-typical Polaroid Bellows Instant camera--- a Polaroid Pathfinder 110A Land camera--- a camera from the 1960's or thereabouts--- a High End "professional" type because it had a rather sophisticated lens & shutter on it--- A Rodenstock Ysarek 127mm f/4.7 lens in a Prontor-SVS shutter. I hear these are desired because they can be converted to modern film packs or they are desired because of the lens/shutter.
I'm not too familiar with all the nuances of this camera, and have not tested it by shooting any actual photos with it, because I don't have any film for it. But I can tell you it's in Fair Cosmetic Condition---- with some nicks and blemishes and a lot of corrosion in spots on the inside and a lot of dust.
Functionally, it is largely uncertain because I can't test it. ((( I expect the Buyer to KNOW what film is available for it, because I do not. And like I said--- I don't have any. ))) The bellows has a few bad folds near the front on one side, but it's not torn. The lens glass is fairly clean and bright--- with somedust specs inside, and some internal smudgy-ness. I doubt those things would have much affect on images---- it is a Polaroid afterall--- the prints are only so good. Otherwise, no big issues with the lens that I can see. The shutter cocks and fires at different speeds but they have Not been extensively tested. Like I said--- I expect it would be used for parts and I'm selling it as such.
Also, the locking latch has one hook/latch thingy that came off on the inside, and there are two film-spool grabbers loose on the inside. Thus--- it's sold for Parts.
So it's Used, and FAR From 100% Mint condition. And it has not been fully tested, so I don't know how well it works or what else is wrong with it. But it looks like a good piece for a Collection. Being sold for Parts or Rehab.
What you see is what you'll get--- please examine the photos.
Continental US Shipping will be $14.50. It will be packed well and safe---- shipped quickly. International Shipping via the program.
PLEASE READ--- By Buying you Agree and Accept this--- I am not a store like Amazon. I'mjust an old camera collector/shooter selling some Used items. I try to check out my items and give you an honest description. But that said, and because sux, I can't have things go back and forth based on opinion, or risk "part swapping" either. I've been a photographer for 40+ years and I know how cameras work and what to look for and can recognize when something is broken. But I can't "Bench Test" everything to factory specs, and understand every little bell and whistle, and I'm No Expert on Polaroids. So I'm sorry, I can't sell this item on Approval--- it's being sold As Is, No Warranty, No Buyer's Remorse, NoTry-outs, No Returns, sold As Is for PARTS or REPAIR, unknown if what is good and what isn't. Any significant defects that I know of are either pictured or described to the best of my knowledge and I try to be detailed and truthful, but I can't describe every every millimeter of it.What you see is what you'll get and I package my items well, so it arrives in the same condition as shown.
