And while many of the original cameras are starting to age, there&#8217;s still plenty to have out there!<\/p>\n<p><em>Polaroid Originals OneStep 2<\/em><br \/>\nIf you think you&#8217;ve seen this camera before, you&#8217;re probably right. The OneStep 2 takes its retro styling from the original OneStep right down to the rainbow. But the OneStep 2 brings instant photography into the 21st-century. The biggest changes are an internal rechargeable battery (done through a USB connection) and a flash. The internal battery means that the camera will work with both Type-600 film and the I-Type film, I-Type, having no battery in the film pack. While pricey the camera does bring the joy of Polaroid into the hands of new photographers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Camera Specifications<\/strong><br \/>\nMake: Polaroid Originals<br \/>\nModel: OneStep 2<br \/>\nType: Viewfinder<br \/>\nFormat: Type-600\/I-Type<br \/>\nLens: Fixed, Polaroid 106mm f\/11.5<br \/>\nYear of Manufacture: 2017-Present<\/p>\n<p><em>Polaroid One<\/em><br \/>\nWhen it comes to old-school Polaroid cameras, the younger the camera the better. In the case of the Polaroid One you get some of the same stylings as the Spectra with the clamshell design. Plus it is one of the final models of the Type-600 line to see manufacture before Polaroid went under. And it&#8217;s easy to use and produces fantastic images. Not to mention the small size even when open makes it easy to carry around.<\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/26277216838\/\" title=\"CCR Review 84 - Polaroid One600\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/4700\/26277216838_2025bb270f_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"CCR Review 84 - Polaroid One600\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Make: Polaroid<br \/>\nModel: One<br \/>\nType: Viewfinder<br \/>\nFormat: Type-600 Instant<br \/>\nLens: Fixed, Polaroid 100mm f\/11.5<br \/>\nYear of Manufacture: 2001<\/p>\n<p><figure style=\"width: 834px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/23497630758\/\" title=\"The Porsche\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/4500\/23497630758_cd0267af25_b.jpg\" width=\"834\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"The Porsche\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Polaroid One &#8211; Polaroid 100mm f\/11.5 &#8211; Impossible Color 600<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 841px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/37845834492\/\" title=\"SCAET\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/4463\/37845834492_035790c9f6_b.jpg\" width=\"841\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"SCAET\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Polaroid One &#8211; Polaroid 100mm f\/11.5 &#8211; Polaroid Originals B&#038;W 600 @ ASA-640<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 841px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/37139690623\/\" title=\"Polaroid Week - Fall 2017\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/4460\/37139690623_9d20c19c8b_b.jpg\" width=\"841\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"Polaroid Week - Fall 2017\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Polaroid One &#8211; Polaroid 100mm f\/11.5 &#8211; Polaroid Originals Color 600<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<p><em>Fuji Instax Mini 90 Classic<\/em><br \/>\nWhile not one of John&#8217;s favourites, there&#8217;s nothing wrong with Instax Mini. It&#8217;s a fun little party camera that will have your guests taking their pictures and sharing the fun of watching the image develop. But the camera itself feels cheap, and that is one of the biggest problems with Instax is that the cameras are often poor quality. Maybe fuji needs to output <\/p>\n<p>Make: Fujifilm<br \/>\nModel: Instax Mini 90 Classic<br \/>\nType: Viewfinder<br \/>\nFormat: Fuji Instax Mini<br \/>\nLens: Fixed, Fuji Lens f=60mm f\/12.5<br \/>\nYear of Manufacture: <\/p>\n<p><em>Polaroid 600SE<\/em><br \/>\nDon&#8217;t let the name fool you, the Polaroid 600SE does not take Type-600 film. In fact, the 600SE is simply branded Polaroid, in reality, it&#8217;s a variant on the Mamiya Press series of cameras. And out in the field the thing is a beast. And while you can use more than just the Type-100 pack film (which is becoming harder to find) you can add 120 roll film backs.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 694px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/polapix\/2558540966\/in\/pool-camerawiki\" title=\"My 600\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/3127\/2558540966_14b64e3703_c.jpg\" width=\"694\" height=\"800\" alt=\"My 600\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An example of a Polaroid 600SE.<br \/>\nimage by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/polapix\/2558540966\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Georg Holderied<\/a> (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Make: Mamiya<br \/>\nModel: Polaroid 600SE<br \/>\nType: Rangefinder<br \/>\nFormat: Polaroid Type-100<br \/>\nLens: Interchangeable, Mamiya Press Mount<br \/>\nYear of Manufacture: <\/p>\n<p><strong>Getting Into Instant Photography<\/strong><br \/>\nBill sits down and talks about having never shot with Polaroid or Fuji in the past, and questions the group on what you should look for to get into the amazing world of instant photography.
