Polaroid 180 Polaroid 180 (Peel-apart instant camera) This is a Polaroid 180 in very good condition. The bellows are not torn, and there is no sticking in the moving parts. The shutter fires without issue, and the aperture moves smoothly. The rangefinder's double image aligns cleanly. The lens is engraved with the Tomioka Kogaku mark, and the optics are clear. It has been stored in a dehumidified cabinet, so there is no mold or unpleasant odor. This camera used to use black and white peel-apart film (3000 type). Deciding, "I'll only take 10 shots today," I would walk around town, observing the light. Opening the lid, extending the bellows, determining the exposure and shutter speed, and pressing the shutter. After shooting, pulling the film, tucking it under my arm to warm it with body heat, and carefully peeling it apart. The entire series of steps was the joy of taking photos with this camera. The images were also wonderful, especially in monochrome, where the shadows were captured vividly. The photos had a strange weight, being immediate yet not feeling light. Currently, peel-apart film is virtually impossible to obtain, making it difficult to recreate the same experience. Even so, I feel that this camera retains the photographic experience and the texture of time from that era. This text is not intended as a sales description. I am writing this as a record of how this camera was used and what kind of time it spent.
