This was amazing. I have been trying to shut this camera for a hour.... thank you

Thank you. Wouldn’t have gotten my camera closed without this video

I found with my dads old camera the “how to make good pictures with your poloroid land camera” and there’s so many neat tips and tricks!!

Found one of these at my local flea market. Finding out that they discontinued the film has helped me save a pretty penny though. I might still purchase for collection's sake.

This was tremendously helpful, thank you so much!

thank you for such a nice detailed explanation of how to operate this.

I found my Gramps' old camera and I want to see how it worked but for the life of me, couldn't figure it out. Thank you!

Super helpful! Thanks for the video.

Great! I have the 700... i opened ......i needed your video for to close after few times trying.. thx.... great video.

thanks for the video! I got mine last week

Ive been watching a few of your vids, subscribed man. You need more subscribers.

Thanks for this video. I just bought a 150 and I love it. maybe i can find some film

Just sub d, number 350. congrats man. Quality product your putting out. Found a land camera 800 today. very useful video. Thanks again

Seriously thank you! I just found one of these 800 in a home we are about to demo. Perfect condition! Has the case, flash, a bunch of manuals, book, accessories, and! the protective panel on the back is still attached.

Thank you for sharing!!! I have my Dad's 800 and couldn't figure out how to close the "lid" protecting the lens.

Oh my god! Thank you I couldn’t close it for hours and have been afraid of opening it again cuz what if I can’t close it lol... now I know lifesaver 🎉❤😂

Just got a 95 B . Any help ??? Thanks.

How do you attach the feet if the come off?

Hey so I have this camera. I was always interested in photography and after my grandfather passed away I inherited his Polaroid land camera 800. I have no idea how to use it. It came with original postcarders, polacolor print mounts, Polaroid bounce flash bracket and several light and dark gray and bulb covers? And different diffusers for the flash. I was curious if it was possible to use the camera with just the postcarders or polacolor print mounts or if I needed to find film rolls on eBay or Amazon? Also, I’m not sure how to remove the lens cap. Thanks in advance!

I just got mine today, Annndd it’ll just be something I can look at and smell... so good! Thank you for the video!

I have an older one Would you like it?

The red switch on the back doesn't cut anythng. It just releases the pins that stop the film when you are pulling. At 7:58 you can see the holes in the backing paper. Then at 8:08 you see the same holes in the positive paper. You can also see the pins on the back next to the roller.

@Donald Peoples the shutter doesn't need to be cocked...just a single press of that lever at 1:33!

Hi Andrew, great video. Wondering if you might be able to help me find a photo to compare what the shutter assembly on this camera should look like? I have a loose spring that I'm trying to reattach to get this thing working again but can't find anything for reference online...

I have one of these cameras. Film was always black and white. My father used it for the last time in the seventies maybe.

Just picked up an 800, in it's case with three different Polaroid flash units, a 4-S light reducer filter, and a zippered pouch with a Polaroid Photoelectric Shutter - for use with 3000 speed film only, in it. Thanks for the tutorial......these are fine cameras,.....it's really too bad no film is available!

I'm having trouble putting mine back together. Just need a picture of one part. For now I just wanted to see if your still out there.

De que año es la land camera polaroid MODEL 80 ???

Thanks for showing how it works! I have a polaroid model 80 (I'm not sure if it works) but really want to give it a try. Where can I buy a compatible film?

Yeah, I have one of these. My father bought it back in the day. No film for it.

I have the electronic shutter (Photoelectric shutter) , the light meter, the flash and the timer for that camera.

That exact camera is here in an antique store I'm at for 89$ , and it comes with a case is that good?

I loves this video????!!!!!

Just found one today and had to buy it im so excited, does anyone have any recommendations on film ?

Where do you find film? For older cameras? ( like where do you recommend I look?)

Are there any conversions for this camera? I just bought an 800 land camera today.

Thanks for the excellent video...but how to you close the front after using...I can't close mine??

Thanks for 6:48 😊

Columbo sent me here... What a beautiful mint specimen. It's so sad that we can't actually use them anymore.

I believe there should be a cylindrical container with an moisten applicator for applying a fixing agent to your positive image after it develops.

Do you know how the flash atttachment is powered? Any place for batteries in this unit? I thought pulling the exposed film through the right side was supposed to squeeze the developer onto the plates and after waiting a few minutes you pull the halves apart and wipe fix gel on the image. Or was that a later design!

What button do I press to take a picture?

Hello Andrew! I just saw your video and it helped me a lot to discover how to use this. I have a question, do you know where I can get some film that hasint expired yet?

Another quick question , why didint you get your picture seen?

I didn’t read any of the comments, but you have to let the film develop inside the camera according to different developing times

i hope one day impossible project will make some film for this beauty :D

A sheet of 4x5 film fits right in there and the pressure plate will keep it from moving around.

How do I close it?

Does this use a battery or anything?

1:97 not shutter speed, but for aperture, to set the f stops or lens opening size

I wish I would have seen this a month ago. I definitely loaded the film wrong. I have one more roll though that expired in 1987, so I guess there's a .001% chance it might work haha. I saw someone who got film to work that expired in the 60s once

How you close it 😅🥲

Wheres the memory card go?

Mereana Mordegard Glesgorv

Polaroid make film again!!!

What about the battery ,where does the battery goes?

the port on the lens housing goes to the polaroid Winklight +250 flash. to get one to work you're gonna need to replace the battery and capacitor providing the bulb is in sound shape. modern solutions are availiable. i have one myself and the battery and cap are dried up and bunk as fuck. hope that helps. heres a scene from colombo with the camera you're talking about :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ndSBfLKel7HNnXU.html

I had one and USED it just as the roll film was discontinued, ye BITCHES! Been there Done That.

this is a heavy camera

I don't think this is correct. The film should be pulled out the right side of the camera, rather than open the back (which exposes the undeveloped film) . The film needs to move through the rollers to distribute the chemicals that develop the image.

BOOO Polaroid I need film for my 95B camera . Then I have the Polaroid wink light attachment . But the Eveready 4.5 volt battery is not made . It might be possible to rig up 3 -1.5 volt batteries .

Bruh, what do you mean "theres a tab right here"????? I'm going to break this poor thing if I keep pressing there

Needs a Digital back for these and The Past will come alive

Shockingly, your film is absolutely no good. Tried this in 1994. Same results.

You never showed how to CLOSE THE CAMERA! I discovered my dad's in the attic, and was able to open the camera bellows and film tray - But, after trying for half an hour, I've not been able to figure out how to close it. Boo!

yet another how to with no results zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Try practicing what you're going to demonstrate before committing it to video.
