"Polaroid 600 Cameras"
Polaroid cameras using the patented process of Dr Edwin Land, were the first commercially successful instant picture cameras which were easy to use, and were not in need of bottles of chemicals, etc.

The idea of in-camera developmental is not new: there are records of ideas for instant cameras from the first year of photography. In 1857, Bolls and Smith of Cooperstown, New York patented the first instant camera which actually went into production.

Jules Bourdin of France invented a simple system which was successfully marketed as early as 1864. Many other attempts met with mediocre success, but Polaroid caught on and became a household word. Because of the success of the company, their cameras generally are quite common, and obviously none are very old.

Polaroid Impulse
Designed for Polaroid's 600-series integral film, the Impulse models are similar in body design to the OneStep or Pronto! models released for SX-70 film in that they feature a non-folding plastic body, single-element plastic lens and fixed focus.
The basic Impulse model is usually found in a dark gray colour, but there were a variety of different colours of Impulse released including yellow, red (as shown here) and light gray. Some autofocus models were also made which were designated as Impulse AF and feature higher quality 3-element lenses. The body is a hard-wearing plastic, and features rubber grips around the rear, a tripod-socket, flash-ready light and film counter. The flash is raised by pressing down onto the top of the unit; this also turns the camera on and retracts the lens cover. Features common to all Impulse fixed-focus models are:
      Single element plastic lens with fixed aperture (116mm, f9) 4 ft minimum focus distance.
      Exposure compensation controls below lens.
      Flash fires for every shot; cannot be user controlled.

~ Good condition, appears to work.
   Asking Price $50.00
