I just bought an old Polaroid rollfilm camera and it came with some old film, but no instruction manual. Id like to try the old film anyway, but how do I work the camera?
Some general tips can be found on the Using Polaroid Rollfilm Cameras page. This page is rather incomplete right now, but should help. 2.5: How do I set the shutter speed and aperture on this thing? All I see is a little window that has a number in it that I can change using a wheel on the side of the shutter, but that number is obviously not the shutter speed. You’re right– it’s not. Polaroid rollfilm cameras (except the Pathfinders and the J-series electric-eye models) have a single combined shutter/aperture control which is calibrated in either EV numbers or “Light Value” numbers (a Polaroid-specific system that predates the standard EV unit system). The Miscellaneous Data page has a set of tables to convert these numbers into their corresponding shutter speeds and apertures. 2.6: I just bought an old Polaroid rollfilm camera, but I found these two metal round things rattling around inside the camera back! Are these important? Where do they go? Is my camera broken? Not to worry. At
