Polaroid PhotoMagic System 2
An oddity out of the bunch of Polaroid stuff a friend gave me were four of these flat-front cameras.
After examining and "dissecting" one, three of them are really "un-marked" 600 LMS cameras originally marketed in the early-80s. The plastic surround holds the flash up in-place, and the holes are designed to crop the image into a circle. Paired with a transparent "filter" on top of the film pack, it creates the (uber-90s) type of image seen at-right.
The purpose: these images were then cut down and used for buttons. These cameras were really a part of a kit to make such buttons.
As I only have the cameras, I have removed the plastic "fascia", and now have three 600 LMS cameras. The other one, which was branded as a "PhotoGraphix 2", was a newer JobPro 2, designed to be "construction-grade".
