Polaroid PoGo

Ohhhh. Awww. My first camera was a Polaroid. An 'Instamatik' with a set of flash cubes and a pack of film. I was seven years old. Camera was damn near bigger'n me.

Check, check, well kinda.

I think we have led a parallel life DanaC (with the Civilization on an Amiga and all). Did you ever have a Space 1999 T shirt?

Inkless printing technology, interesting, I wonder how much it will cost per shot, well I suppose you won't have to print them all instantly.

At least in the US, Instamatic was a Kodak trademark ...

I had the one pictured on the top, with the pop up flash that you had to put a bulb in. I remember when the flashcube ones came out.

Despite my attempt to buy her several other cameras, my mother still has a Pocket Instamatic 110, which used the "flipflash." Does anybody know where you can get 110 film developed? I've struck out with three supermarkets and two chain drugstores.

I also remember my first Polaroid Land Camera, which was the Swinger. Very 70s. Went great with my ToodleLoop Radio.

Ditto here, Wolf. I lost that first one that used the AG individual bulbs. My next one had flash cubes. I never owned a 110 camera, as the picture quality sucked. Just not enough film area to render a decent quality 3x5 print, let alone 4 x 6.

I had a Swinger as well, then an SX70.
