This polaroid automatic 420 is an instant pack camera with manual focus and parallax compensation. Exposure is automatic, but you can vary it depending on taste and conditions. Fuji makes film for it (FP-100c) and it takes wonderful medium format images. It has been converted to aaa batteries from the original batteries that are hard to find and expensive. If you are into the instant vintage look of Lomography, Holgas, or any plastic cameras, you will love the results of shooting with this camera. It is like stepping back in time when you shoot with it! This camera has been designed for use with a focusing flash and hi power flash cubes(both of which you can find easily on ebay). The focused flash couples with your focusing so you get just the right amount of flash for interior shots and night shots. I really enjoy all of the 400 series for this reason. This camera has been completely tested and works well. I have both the wide and mini fuji instax cameras and i can tell you this takes much crisper and nicer pictures! Why buy from me? All of my cameras are thoroughly cleaned, tested, and inspected. They are good looking, but more importantly- they work! My cameras are ready to shoot! I really love Polariod cameras, but I am not interested in them if they are not 100 percent functional. It is true that you could be the lowest bidder on a camera that is not fully tested (all of mine are fully tested), but there is a risk involved. You can do great things with Fuji film, but you don’t want to waste film on a non-working camera. Look at the pictures closely- this is the camera you will get.

UPDATE: Take advantage of this opportunity to shoot with some of the best Polaroids ever made! Fuji just announced that they will be discontinuing their pack film, and remaining inventory will be sold off. Based on the availability of old polaroid film and other discontinued film, I am certain that if you want to shoot with packfilm you still have years left. I intend to shoot pack film up until the end of this decade! Just refrigerate the film as soon as you get it and look for deals online. It is still a better deal than Impossible film, and a higher quality image! Also- there are rumors that Impossible or a startup may start producing the popular film!
