Polaroid Land Camera 95A Folding Instant Camera

£60 + pp

Vintage Polaroid Land Camera 95A in very clean cosmetic condition for its age.

The camera presents well, with clean bodywork and bellows that remain in good condition with no obvious issues noted. The shutter fires correctly when operated, though the camera has not been film tested and is therefore being sold as untested.

The lens shows some light marks consistent with age and use. These are minor and are not expected to significantly affect image quality, but please examine the photographs carefully and satisfy yourself as to condition.

Condition:

Very clean overall cosmetic condition

Bellows in good condition

Shutter fires correctly

Untested with film

Light marks to lens

Sold as-is due to age and lack of full testing
