Polaroid Cameras

Every week I get a few people asking about Polaroid cameras through my Etsy store or via email. While I love talking shop about the Polaroids, I've come to the conclusion that it might be a little bit more helpful to have a detailed post about my Polaroid camera experiences and any advice I have for Polaroid newbies. :)

While I am not a certified expert on the Polaroid subject by any means, I've had quite a bit of experience working with the cameras over the past few years. I went to the Impossible Project's grand announcement that they were restarting the production of film, I've done some camera surgery, I've read Edwin Land's biography(the inventer and founder of Polaroid), and I've sold dozens of cameras in my Etsy store. Oh-- and of course I love love love shooting the film. :)Here are the FAQ's I receive often-- if you have a more specific question, leave it below and I can try to answer in a comment back. Plus, it might help others to read through the comments as well to answer anything I've missed in the post. :) I've linked to one of the best and most inclusive Polaroid resource lists on the web for more information about the specific cameras.
