Polaroid 800 w/ BC flash, diffuser, "Biflex" half frame adapter, hand strap and original 1950's advertising pamphlets
Behold one of Polaroid's most beautiful cameras. Introduced in 1957, over 500 000 model 800 cameras were sold. The Model 800 was very successful, no doubt partly due to its incredible looks, the epitome of 50's styling.
This camera is fitted with a CB-100 Polaroid film back, allowing it to take Type 100 film, which is still made by Fuji today. The CB-100 back was modified to use a new set of latches, allowing the camera's body to be as original as possible, without the need to cut into major parts of the body and the viewfinder assembly. This mod means the camera is now compatible with Fuji FP-100C and Fuji FP-3000B films.
This camera comes with a rare "Polaflex" "Biflex" accessory. This little device, when fitted over the lens, turns the 800 into a half frame camera. The Biflex effectively blocks half of the film frame at a time, allowing you to take two photos on one shot of film. Simply take a photo with the Biflex attached, then flip the lever and take a second shot. This means you can effectively take 20 different photos with one pack of film.
See the gallery for some examples!

***Australialisted now requires that I describe cameras as "new" or "used". This two-option rating system does not accurately portray my work. The cameras I sell are second hand, but each one has been fully refurbished back to factory performance. Please remember that although you still buy film for Polaroid cameras, Polaroid do not make new 600, SX-70, Spectra or Type 100 cameras any more, so if you want to buy a Polaroid, you are be forced to buy second-hand. So why not buy one that is guaranteed to work?
