This series of Polaroid cameras, starting with the Automatic 100 and finishing at the Automatic 450, shares a common set of features:
- Folding Bellows
- Automatic Exposure
- 100-series Packfilm
The good models are the 100, 250, 350, and 450 variants of the line. Some, such as the 350, feature a coupled Rangefinder designed by the German firm Zeiss Ikon. Other cameras, such as the 104, can have much cheaper build quality and features, including plastic lenses, rigid viewfinders, and may lack the tripod socket. These cameras produce 7.2x9.5cm prints, and the nicer models can be capable of very good results. Many accessories were made for these cameras, including but not limited to portrait kits, close-up kits, and electric flash.
A few models to be aware of are the 180, 185, 190, and 195 cameras. These professional-model Polaroid Land Cameras are among the best cameras Polaroid ever produced, including a much faster glass lens, fully mechanical leaf shutter, and manual exposure. These models lack the built-in lightmeter the other models use to calculate exposure.
