Description from the seller

Polaroid Automatic 330 Land Camera – Classic Folding Instant Camera – USA, c. 1969–1971

Offered for auction is a classic Polaroid Automatic 330 Land Camera, produced by the renowned American manufacturer Polaroid Corporation during the late 1960s.

This iconic model belongs to the famous Land Camera series and features the characteristic folding design with metal struts and bellows. The Automatic 330 was considered one of the more advanced instant cameras of its time, combining automatic exposure with rangefinder focusing.

The camera is equipped with the original 114 mm f/8.8 lens and an automatic exposure system with “Lighten/Darken” adjustment. Focusing is performed via the integrated rangefinder visible in the triple-window viewfinder.

The folding mechanism opens correctly and the bellows appear intact without visible holes or major damage. The lens glass appears clean and the camera retains its original carrying strap. The internal metal structure and front plate are well preserved, showing only light signs of age and normal use consistent with vintage photographic equipment.

Originally designed to use Polaroid packfilm (Type 100 series).

Important:
The camera has not been tested with film and is therefore sold untested. It is offered as a vintage collectible item.
