056

found another polaroid camera at the thrift store this time for 7.99.

a new baby to add to my growing polaroid collection.

its funny cause this isn't my first polaroid from this same exact thrift

my first being a Polaroid 600 Business Edition, that sadly broke behind my back at a family vacation no one fessed up. im still looking on ebay for a replacement. it might be my favorite in the polaroid camera line up.

this time I snagged a 1980's Polaroid 600 Impulse

*that 600 is important when buying old cams. polaroid still makes 600 film

lost it when i saw the binocular-style grips still intact, which makes the cam easier to hold and shoot & It also has a pop-up flash that protects the lens when not in use.

specs:

Lens: 110mm f/10

Focus: Fixed, 4' - Infinity

Viewfinder: Direct

Exposure Control: Automatic, with manual +/- 1EV lighten/darken slider

Shutter: Electronic, automatic shutter speeds of 1/3 to 1/200th second

Flash: Built-in, with manual override

Power: Battery is built into film cartridge

i had to test it same day. same hour so i ran outta the thrift

headed to target to grab some fast film

fyi. Target sales film $15-100 depending on the pack you choose.

here are my test shots I took at the mall that had the Target via tiktok:
