The newly redesigned Polaroid Land Camera Adapter is designed to fit most Polaroid Land Camera models that accept peel-apart "Type 100" pack film (such as Polaroid 667 or Fuji 100C). This includes most manual Pack Film models (180 through 195) and series 100, 200, 300, and 400 automatic models made between 1963 and 1977. For a full list of Polaroid Land Camera pack film models, check this list, and if you have any doubt, email me.
HOWEVER...
Please note that most automatic models from this time had very slow lenses (f8.0 or worse) and relied on electronic metering systems to open the shutter. This can make shooting with the ObscuraFlex™ quite challenging. Before you think about ordering, please visit these two FAQs to see WHICH CAMERA YOU HAVE, and IF IT EVEN WORKS. If in doubt, please reach out.

MODIFICATION REQUIRED
MODIFICATION REQUIRED
This adapter may require some modification of your existing camera body. For example:
- You may choose to remove the hinged camera back as shown here.
- All models will need "Shutter Lock" to keep the shutter open while in use.
- Automatic cameras will also need a "Light Meter Cover" to keep the shutter open while in use.
Please be very sure you understand and are comfortable with these modifications BEFORE YOU ORDER.
PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS
PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS
Similar to shooting low ASA film, this adapter requires plenty of light to produce the best quality images. Most Land Cameras have a maximum aperture of f-8, which will only produce the best results in bright sunny conditions. Depending on the capabilities of specific smartphone models, acceptable results may also be possible with high iso settings and extended exposure times in less ideal lighting.
- Low light photography is not recommended.
- Flash sync photography is not currently possible.
COMPATIBILITY
COMPATIBILITY
Not sure your Land Camera is compatible? Please READ THIS BEFORE YOU ORDER.
NOTE:
While this adapter is physically compatible with most Land Cameras, automatic models may provide less than ideal results due to their much darker f-8.8 lens.
