A few weeks into the shut-down, took the TL70 off the shelf, along with one of my social isolation models. She loves Holgas, too.

La Polaroid, de la mano de su fundador y gurú el Dr. Edwin Land, alcanza el cénit en el desarrollo de la fotografía instantánea iniciada en 1947 con esta cámara de aspecto futurista y que se convertiría no solo en un éxito comercial sin precedentes sino que, además, llegaría a ser considerada un icono de artistas del Nuevo Realismo y el Pop-Art como Andy Warhol y otros, sin olvidar que fue una útil herramienta para el peritaje, los atestados y demás tareas en que se requería una prueba fotográfica inmediata o bien como entretenimiento para quienes no querían que sus fotos "picantes" fueran vistas por terceros ;-).

 

Era una cámara réflex, que incorporaba una novedosa y sofisticada tecnología que rompía con los esquemas de los productos anteriores. Diseñada para utilizar unas películas especiales en chasis planos para 10 fotografías, integraban una minúscula batería de zinc de 6 voltios que generaba suficiente energía para motorizar los mecanismos de la cámara y el control de exposición.

 

Grosso modo, una vez disparado el obturador, la máquina emitía un peculiar sonido y eyectaba una lámina fotográfica que, tras pasar por unos rodillos que presionaban sobre el deposito donde se contenían todos los ingredientes necesarios, se iniciaba el proceso de revelado y fijación ya en el exterior, dando lugar a todo un espectáculo para la vista pues se podía ver como, tras unos segundos, la imagen captada empezaba a definirse. Eso posibilitaba a demás que se pudieran disparar nuevas fotos sin esperar ese revelado.

 

En la cámara casi todo era novedoso, en lugar de rollos de película se empleaban paquetes fotográficos, el operador no tenía que intervenir para nada, no había que despegar nada, ni se producían desechos del revelado (todo quedaba dentro de la foto impresa), la cámara era plegable y requería de un complejo haz de luz que iluminaba el visor a través de tres espejos, incluyendo una lente de Fresnel, decenas de pequeñas y precisas piezas de plástico moldeado, circuitos electrónicos que controlaban la motorización y el flash (en barras de 10 bulbos) y una película especial que en cierto modo integraba un complejo laboratorio de revelado y que procuraba la energía de la cámara. La cámara en si, portaba un objetivo de 116 mm con aperturas de f/8 a f/22 y un obturador de hoja en su óptica.

 

Es, por tanto, una cámara que impactó el mercado y de la que se hicieron eco revistas tan prestigiosas como Life, calificando el invento como mágico y al Dr, Land como su genio. En la fotografía acompañé la cámara del ejemplar Life de Octubre de 1972 que daba cuenta de la primicia y que conseguí a través de eBay)

 

Su impacto social, a pesar de los años transcurridos y de ser una tecnología derrotada por el cambio que supuso la llegada de la era digital, sigue estando vigente y es incluso el icono de nostálgicos y de “frikis” que todavía hoy emplean tratamientos y aplicaciones de software para dotar a sus fotos actuales de los colores Polaroid y de los marcos blancos de sus fotos. Incluso existe un proyecto para relanzar su producción y comercialización.

Here a quick (more or less 15 minutes shooting) series of shot with a very appreciated gift from Meminesis/ ! A Heerbrugg Wild... it is a Polaroid camera to be used on a microscope, but obviously there is no microscope here... it seem to be a sort of long lens probably working at F16 or F22 (or even more) with fixed focus on twenty meters or more when not used on its microscope... it has a periscope reflex viefinder mounted inside the lens and a leaf shutter with speeds from T/B, 1 second up to 1/125, when you want to use this big strange camera you need to use it like a sort of periscope, so I think iut is really great for street photography in full light.

One other thing is that it is clearly a modification of some Polaroid land camera, same back, clearly. But the back is a mess, with some deformations so it allows some curious light leaks to happen... what a camera... thank you a lot Meminesis/ ! ;-)

The Soviet camera industry didn't look too much to America to copy their products (let's face it, few Soviet cameras were original concepts). Most of the time they designed cameras based on German and Japanese concepts; just because they were not fools, as Germans and Japanese were the leading powers in this business.

Thus, the Moment is a strange beast in the Soviet camera world. It is to the Polaroid 95 what the Kiev 6C was to the Pentacon Six: a model very much inspired in the original, so much that it couldn't be sold in the West because of flagrant patent infringement; but it wasn't an exact copy.

The entrails are pretty much the same, as the instant photography system was copied exactly, but there are many different things.

The Soviet Moment looks much more like a camera from the twenties than the Polaroid 95: the lens assembly of the Polaroid is rather innovative and complicated compared to the one on the Moment, which even has a reflex finder like earlier folders. The shutter of the Polaroid is especially made for people that do not know too much about photography; this path was strictly followed by Polaroid in the subsequent decades. The shutter of the moment is a more classic design; in fact, it is probably a part adapted from other cameras.

As far as I know, the lens of the Polaroid is a simple doublet lens, while the lens of the Moment is a Triplet, as can be deduced by the letter 'T' in its name. The Soviets used to name their lenses by their optical design, pretty much like Zeiss. As for the max speed, the moment is 6.9 and the Pola is f11. Yes, the Russian lens is better, but we have to admit that the Polaroid lens is more than enough to take 8x10cm images that will not be enlarged.

The bellows of the Moment is of better quality, being leather. Ironically, the synthetic bellows of the early polas have aged better, as natural leather, being organic, is more likely to have issues like fungus, mold, etc.

I think that all this differences are more likely to be due to use of available parts and a rather conservative approximation to design than to a genuine attempt to improve the original Polaroid 95 model.

I love both cameras and, from time to time i load them with regular photographic paper and shoot a few negs. I love them.
