This is the "Kodak Colorburst 50" camera. It was produced from about 1979 to 1981 as part of Kodak's Colorburst line of instant cameras. The Colorburst 50 was also marketed as the "EK160".
First shot taken with the Polaroid 103 Land Camera that I picked up at the flea market last weekend at the Three Counties Showground in Malvern. It is in very good condition generally but it had an old 3v battery in place that had corroded and pretty much destroyed the battery connectors. A £1.49 battery carrier and some soldering and it now runs on two AAA batteries.

後來那個女孩子有了男友（其實一直都有），我把她從MSN名單上的「朋友」群組搬移到「其他聯絡人」。她結婚的時候我託朋友包了個大紅包，然後把她從MSN名單上搬移到「Other Contacts」（雖然好像沒什麼差別，但是我的MSN名單不知道為什麼會出現同一種意義的中文跟英文兩個群組）。再後來她有了小孩，我把她從MSN名單上搬移到「媽媽們」群組去。那裡面成員的共同特色是一律使用自己孩子的照片當成大頭貼。

1999年，民國八十八年，是我踏入社會的第一年。那也是台灣發生大地震的一年。我一面抓著限電的空檔一面用電腦製作精美的履歷表，於是彷彿在餘震的搖搖晃晃之間，我拿到了人生第一份正式工作。那是一間全名長得不得了的煞有介事的外商公司。
「你的英文名字？」報到的那天，人事小姐這樣問。
「一定要有嗎？」
「一定要有。」人事小姐說。「要印在名片上。」
畢竟是外商公司嘛。我想。
「Marinne。」我說出這個字。那是我當時想到的第一個字。
「海軍陸戰隊的那個Marine？」
「有兩個n。」我糾正。而且不是海軍陸戰隊啊，我想。
幾天後我拿到一盒全新，硬梆梆，不小心的話簡直會割傷手的名片。人事小姐沒有拼錯，有兩個n的Marinne正確地印在上面，在我的本名旁邊。

Polaroid 100 Automatic Land Camera

Expired September 1999
This is the "Polaroid Colorpack II" camera; it is a Polaroid Land Camera that was produced by Polaroid from 1969 to 1972. The Colorpack II quickly became popular with consumers due to its low price (originally $30 USD), as well as the improved color capabilities of Polaroid 100 series pack film.
Unlike most Polaroid Land cameras of the day (which were strut-folding). The Colorpack II was one of the first in a long line of cheap consumer Polaroid cameras that featured a ridged plastic body (c. late 1960s - early 1970s). This was done primarily to make the cameras as inexpensive and simple as possible. Also, the new "pull-out-and-peel-apart" pack film eliminated the need for a mechanism to re-cock the shutter after each exposure; keeping the internal mechanics to a bare minimum. Earlier versions of the Colorpack II featured a single element lens made of glass, while lenses in later versions were plastic.
This model was designed to be a farily "bare-bones", easy-to-use, simple point-and-shoot Polaroid camera. Many of the features seen in other (generaly higher-end) Polaroid cameras such as automatic exposure, shutter-timer, rangefinder, etc; were either removed entirely or simplified.
On the top of the front faceplate of the camera there is an ASA setting switch; which allows the user to select 75 (for color) or 3000 ASA (black and white). On the front there is an exposure setting knob, which ranges from "Darken" to "Lighten". On the right side of the faceplate is a socket for standard (blue-dot) "Flashcubes", along with a wind-up hot shoe and a collapsible plastic diffuser. Unlike the most Polaroid 100-400 cameras, the Colorpack II does not feature a rangefinder mechanism. Instead focusing is achieved by adjusting the focus ring on the front element lens (distances from 3.5 to 60+ feet)

Taken in rapidly changing light of the evening sun. This is probably the most successful set of shots I have had from a pack of Impossible Film so far in terms of the quality of the colour.
