Brief History
The Pathfinder series of cameras was manufactered by Polaroid and Yaschica from the 1950s until 1964 and was aimed at the professional market. Full manual exposure, which allowed the professional photographer more precise control, was a feature that separated the Pathfinder cameras from other Polaroid cameras.
