This Polaroid is pre-1963. If you really wanted to preserve your instant photos, you had to
apply a special coating that could be rather smelly and messy.
Do you remember the live demonstrations of the Polaroid on the "Ed Sullivan Show" in the 50's and 60's? See below for more cameras. |
Classic Kodak cameras from the early 20th century used roll film. They were adjustable and required some skill to get a proper exposure. The large negative size made contact prints possible. This made prints affordable, since contact prints did not require the use of an enlarger. |

This Ansco "Sure Shot" on the left, and the Ricohflex twin use optical viewfinders that require the
photographer to look down into the top of the camera. The Ansco had a fixed focus and was easy to operate, but sometimes
it was a bit tricky to load the roll film. It was designed for outdoor snapshots only, as there was no flash attachment.
The Ricoh, which had manual focus and aperture controls was for the professional or serious amateur. |
