when i couldn't figure out how to use 2 x magnfying lens
...all my photos looked pretty much like this. A set of close-up lenses ("plus 1", "plus 2", and "plus 4") came with the Polaroid Pathfinder. The tiny leather case includes an inscrutable tape measure. Though I couldn't figure out how to use them with the camera's rangefinder focus, I would try a crack at 'em every now and then, but they were all fails. I wasted about 10 pieces of film that all turned out like this.
At first I thought the "plus 1", "plus 2", etc., made things farther away appear 1 or 2 times closer. But that's not how it works at all. Finally, after looking through the lens with my naked eye, I tried a new approach, The close up lenses allows you to put the camera lens pretty close, like within a foot (set at closest focus, 3 feet) of the subject and makes everything bigger, Big Shot style.
