  • My Polaroid Land 210 doesn't click a second time when I remove my finger from the light sensor, but my shots come out perfectly fine because the shutter still fires. Not sure what to make of that. :P

  • would this test be similar to check if a fuji fp-1 works?

  • I have a Polaroid 440 camera & when testing to see if it worked there was 1 click when pushing the red button down and a second click when letting button up and we had the light censer covered the whole time. Help if you could please :) Thank You!

  • Hello,

    I think the electric eye might be broken on mine... I put in a 3v battery, but when I press down the shutter, the second click goes when I release the shutter button no matter the lighting situation. Help?

  • Does it mean that it's working when it has two clicks ? I tried covering the sensor , however when i remove my finger from the shutter button the second click goes.

  • @buggiala Any "rigid" packfilm cameras, (the ones that do not fold) take AA batteries. The quality of those cameras is pretty low and you can only use color film for them.

    If you were to get an SX-70 or a 600 camera the film packs have a battery built in.

  • Thank you! This is exactly what I have been looking for.

    ;')

  • Hi. I want to get a Polaroid Land camera. But which one takes regular double AA or AAA batteries? Thanks.

  • @ashraffnajwan your camera is working, I have a 240 and it have the same thing. You must leave the button pressed. The light meter works just fine, you can test it pointing the camera to a light and pressing the shutter button, and then another one in the dark. If the shutter clicks in different times, it's working fine. Remember you must leave the button pressed.

  • @ashraffnajwan Hey, the same thing happens with my camera. Where you able to find an answer?
