Description
Polaroid 190 camera. The camera has folding bellows and an automatic exposure. There is a glass lens, fully mechanical leaf shutters and a manual exposure function.
Brief History
The Polaroid 190 Land camera looks very much like other folding cameras in the Polaroid 100-400 series, however it was designed for use by professional photographers and so its specifications are higher than those of the models intended for amateur users. It has full exposure control, a faster Tominon lens and a Zeiss range/viewfinder, along with a hard-wearing metal body. It does however still use instant peel-apart film.
