The last time I used a Polaroid was when we borrowed one from my Mom shortly after we were married. I'm surprised they made them as long as they did.

I spent a small fortune on polaroid cameras trying to get one that took sharp photos for reference. Need the pix right away...deadlines looming.

Finally adapted an old roll film, bellows type, high end polaroid I bought a swap meet for $40, to use the new 108 cassette stuff. I finally had my perfect reference camera. Then, the next year digital cameras appeared and I haven't used my hard won Polaroid since.

Sometimes progress is too slow. Or I was born too soon.

I still have my Dad's old "Polaroid Land Camera Model 150" packed away in the attic.

Back in the '50s he was the first one on the block to go high tech with that camera.
