Description from the seller
Cambo Passportrait Model 40 Instant Photo Camera Vintage 1970s
The Polaroid Cambo Passportrait is a professional instant portrait and ID photo camera, designed to shoot multiple identical portraits on a single sheet of Polaroid pack-film (Series 100). The camera body is built in sturdy metal, ideal for heavy use in photographic studios and labs. Thanks to a multi-lens system and an integrated bright viewfinder, it allows producing in a single shot from two to four identical images, depending on the version and specific model used. It originated around the late 1970s / early 1980s and was produced in the Netherlands by the Dutch company Cambo B.V. (specialized in studio cameras and professional equipment), with an original Polaroid back film component for pack-film supports.
The camera is presented in good condition, please carefully review all photos in detail. There are some signs of age, but overall it is well preserved. It has not been tested with film, but dry operation was optimal. Unfortunately I do not have the flexible shutter cable, but it doesn’t really matter, they can be found for only a few euros, not to mention less, considering that it uses a standard fitting and any cable of any length can be used. The difficulty of obtaining photographic paper limits its use, which is a real pity given that the four lenses were designed for professional use. It is sold to collectors and enthusiasts.
