Have a Polaroid 80A camera that has been converted to take 120 film in a 6x9 format.

This can be converted to pack film -- but I believe this will mean the focus will need to be adjusted.

Lens/shutter works. Easy to use and looks nice even as a display. A fun little camera.


Looking for offers.



Note on the conversion:

I've just done some basic hacking to drill a hole and add an axle which can turn a 120 roll film spindle. It's light tight and strong, but not ideal. No window means it's a bit of guess work to work out how many turns you need to advance the film. I'm also removing the film in a dark bag - really needs some tensioning.

Suggest some minimal tweaking would make this more user friendly!

The lenses on these are good. I converted a 160 in the same way. I have a label on the bottom of mine telling me how many turns (in 1/4 turn increments) it is between frames.
