Polaroid Land Camera 250 (Second-gen)

Finally after tearing apart the local thrift stores for a couple of years I found one of the folding packfilm cameras, and a 250 to boot! These were a high-end model that featured a Zeiss Ikon rangefinder, retailed for about $160, and were produced in the late 1960s.

 

Only downside is it needs a slight modification to replace the single 4.5v battery (no-longer made) with three AAA's. Nothing big; the holder is available at Radio Shack for dirt cheap and I can solder it at work. If it works--and I'm pretty sure it will--then I will finally be able to shoot color again!
