AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
STUDIO EXPRESS / Miniportrait 203
made in Japan
Two passport-size photos, 45×70 mm, on 100-exposure film.
Two focal lengths: 1.2 m and 1.92 m with fine sonar adjustment. (The 1.92 m focal length requires additional lenses.)
F from 8 to 32.
Exposure times: 1/60 and 1/125.
Flash settings for ISO 100 and 3000
Usable with or without an oscillating flash.
Possibility to also use a separate flash with an X-sync cable
Selector for taking 2 different photos or 2 identical photos.
Runs on 4 AA batteries.
6-volt DC socket for AC adapter.
With removable Polaroid film holder model 73A.
This professional-grade camera, designed for portraiture (like its sister Polaroid Miniportrait in the collection), is equipped with four lenses and a sonar sensor (the gold grille next to the name on the front) for focusing.
This technology, used by Polaroid, enables focusing using ultrasound waves emitted by the device. The time between emission and the return of the wave, after bouncing off the subject, allows determining the exact focusing distance.
The four lenses allow you to take four identical photos (useful for passport photos), two pairs of identical photos, or four different photos on the same film.
The machine works perfectly; I’ve used it a lot to create very charming compositions.
