Polaroid Land Model 350

Other images

Part of the series of Polaroid cameras started with the Automatic 100 and finishing at the Automatic 450, this camera shares a common set of features with all models in this line:

• Folding Bellows
• Automatic Exposure
• 100-series Packfilm

The 350 is one of the higher end models of the 100-400 series line of folding Packfilm Land Cameras, similar to both the 100 and 250 models; the main difference being the inclusion of a development timer on the rear of the body, and a smaller eyepiece on the rangefinder - both models of eyepiece are functionally identical; the earlier model just has a larger window at the rear.

The main advantages these models have over the majority of the other models in the series are:

• Zeiss Ikon-designed rangefinder, with projected frame lines and parallax compensation.
• Tripod mount on all-metal body
• 3 element glass lens (114mm f8.8)

The 350 was produced from 1969 until 1971, retailing on release for $150.
