Polaroid Land Camera model 95 (1948)
On February 21, 1947, Edwin Land demonstrated the first instant
camera with self-developing film, using a patented chemical
process to produce finished positive prints from the exposed
negatives in under a minute.
The first commercially available Polaroid camera was the Polaroid
Land Camera Model 95. It was the first of Edwin Land's instant
rollfilm picture cameras and sold to the public in novermber
1948.
I found my Polaroid Land Camera model 95 at 'marktplaats', a
dutch consumer to consumer internet website. This camera inspired
me to do this Polaroid Project.

Polaroid SX-70 Original Model
(1972-1977)
The SX-70 is a folding single lens reflex Land Camera first
produced by the Polaroid Corporation in 1972. It was Edwin
Land's first instant SLR in history, and the first camera
to use Polaroid's new integral print film, which developed
automatically without the need for intervention from the photographer.
The first model, sold in Florida in late 1972, had a plain
focusing screen because Dr. Land wanted to encourage photographers
to think they were looking at the subject, rather than through
a viewfinder.

Edwin Herbert Land
While on vacation at the Grand Canyon in 1943 Edwin Land's (co-founder
of the Polaroid Corporation) daughter wondered
why developing photos took so long and asked to see the vacation
photos right away. Her idea preyed on Land's mind
and he started working on the concept that the whole photographic
process from taking the image to seeing the finished product
shouldn't last longer than 60 seconds.
