The Land List -- Accessory Listings

This is an index of accessories that have been offered by Polaroid for its various amateur cameras and films. Accessories intended for professional, scientific, and industrial markets are not included here at this time.

There are two sections to this list. The first section is a simple no-frills numeric index sorted by the Polaroid model number of the accessory. This may be helpful if you happen upon an unknown Polaroid accessory (or a reference to one) and would like to identify it and determine which camera models with which it was designed to be used. Accessories with no known model number are omitted from this section.

In the second section, (Camera Type Index), the accessories are sorted into categories according to their "companion" cameras. In most cases, some additional details are provided about each accessory. This may be helpful if you own a Polaroid camera and would like to know what accessories were made for it and/or which accessories you might find useful.

Numeric Index:

Accessories are sorted by Polaroid model numbers
Descriptions: Names which are Capitalized indicate the actual Polaroid labeled name of the accessory.
CamTp: This indicates the general category(ies) of camera for which the accessory was designed, and is only intended as a basic guide. More specific information regarding particular camera models is given in the second section.
Orig. Price: Prices are suggested retail, but may not necessarily be the price at the time of introduction (it appears, however, that accessory list prices were kept fairly constant, so this is likely not of much importance).

Possible CamTp entries are as follows:

Roll : Cameras using Polaroid 30- or 40-series rollfilm
Pack : Cameras using Polaroid 100- or 80-series peel-apart packfilm
SX70 : Cameras using SX-70 integral-print film
600 : Cameras using 600 integral-print film
Spec : Cameras using Spectra integral-print film
PV : Cameras using Polavision Phototapes
Prin : Print-related accessories

Camera Type Index

Accessories for Rollfilm Cameras:

#120 (Development Timer)

For use with all rollfilm camera models
Mechanical; times up to 120 seconds

#200 flashgun, large, w/cord

For use with Models 95, 95A, 95B, 100 (rollfilm), and 700
Uses #5/Press 25 bayonet-base flashbulbs
Large reflector and brown crinkle finish
Built-in flashguard
Appears to have been made by Kalart for Polaroid
COLLECTOR'S NOTE: This is the original flashgun introduced with the Model 95 in 1948. It appears to be less common than the cosmetically similar #201.

#200 flashgun. Clear plastic flashguard has been removed.[JPEG, 23k]

#201 flashgun, large, w/cord

For use with Models 95, 95A, 95B, 100 (rollfilm), and 700
Similar in external appearance to #200, but is of B-C (battery-capacitor) design and has a built-in test lamp.
Appears to have been made by Kalart for Polaroid

#201 flashgun. Flashguard has been partially pivoted to one side.[JPEG, 20k]

#202 flashgun, small, w/cord

For use with Models 95, 95A, 95B, 100 (rollfilm), and 700
Smaller and more "streamlined" in style than the #200/#201
Built-in flashguard re-designed from earlier guns; more convenient
Uses #5/Press 25 bayonet-base flashbulbs

#208 (Copymaker)

For use with all cameras using 40-series rollfilm except the J66
This appears to be a well-designed conventional copy-stand outfit complete with light source (two fluorescent lamps), built-in timer for exposure and development, and area/distance markings calibrated to Polaroid cameras and the close-up lenses supplied with the outfit. This is entirely different from (and was far more expensive than) the later Print Copier accessories that were offered.
Originally supplied with close-up lenses for non-Pathfinder cameras; could be exchanged for Pathfinder close-up lenses from Polaroid on request.

#221 flashgun, w/cord and ASA two-post plug

For use with Model 110
Similar to #201, but sync cord has connector for the Model 110's shutter instead.

#222 flashgun, small, w/cord and ASA two-post plug

For use with Model 110
Similar to #202, but sync cord has connector for the Model 110's shutter instead.

#230 (Print Copier)

For use with Models 80, 80A, and 80B
Similar to #240 Print Copier (below), but designed for the 80-series cameras instead.
COLLECTOR'S NOTE: Much less common than the #240

#240 flashgun, small, w/cord and ASA bayonet plug

For use with Models 95, 95A, 95B, 100 (rollfilm), and 700
Similar to #202, but different in color.

#240 (Print Copier)

For use with Models 95, 95A, 95B, 100 (rollfilm), 150, 160, 700, 800, 850 and 900
This is a fairly clever but somewhat complicated accessory for making copies of Polaroid prints. When unfolded, it somewhat resembles a slide projector. Prints are loaded into a holder in the back of the device. The camera is positioned on a rail at the front of the Copier-- the lens of the camera mates with a close-up lens built into the Copier. Two small 120-volt bayonet-base light bulbs in the Copier serve as a fixed source of illumination for the print to be copied. The camera's exposure is set for this constant exposure source (via a chart supplied with the copier), and the picture is taken and developed in the usual way. The Copier is supplied with a cable release (for the camera) and has a built-in electric exposure/development timer (which is powered whenever the light bulbs are switched on), and (starting in 1959) comes with a set of neutral-density filters for the light bulbs for use when 3000-speed film is used in the camera.

#250 (Wink-Light)

For use with Models 80, 80A, 80B, 110A, 110B, 120, 150, 160, 800, 850, and 900
Back in the late 50's, when it came to camera flash, photographers had the choice between inconvenient use-once flashbulbs and expensive (and often very bulky) electronic flashguns. The high speed of the just-then introduced 3000 ASA Polaroid films allowed for another solution which combined some of the good points of both. The design of the Wink-Light is quite simple-- a 45 volt battery (similar to a radio 'B' battery of the same era) charges a capacitor. When the shutter is tripped, the capacitor is discharged through a 12 volt automotive turn-signal-style lamp (this is the same sort of circuit used in a typical B-C flashgun using conventional flashbulbs). The result is a brief but bright flash from the bulb. Even though a lamp rated at only 12 volts is used, the brief duration of the flashes means that the bulb should last at least as long as the battery (batteries were each supplied with a spare bulb, thus encouraging the owner to change the bulb at the same time as the battery).
User Tip #1: Should you actually try to use your Wink-Light these days, don't leave it attached to the camera when not in use! Yes, your camera might look interesting sitting on your shelf that way, but the switch hidden in the Wink-Light keeps the capacitor charged whenever the Light is attached to the hot-shoe of the camera, thus causing a small, but constant, drain on the battery. This would also contribute to the reason why almost every Wink-Light you see these days has a completely dead battery. :-)
User Tip #2: The Wink-Light was designed for use only as a "fill-in" flash to be mixed with ambient light. Should the level of surrounding light be particularly low, the accessory #256 Auxiliary Flasher should be used.
Originally supplied with a set of light seals for preventing film fogging when older cameras were to be used with the new 3000-speed films.
Was also originally supplied with a #451 4S Neutral Density Filter.
NOTE: See also the #251 and #252
COLLECTOR'S NOTE: Very common

#251 (Wink-Light)

For use with Model 110
Similar to the #250, but has a bi-pin sync cord instead of hot shoe
COLLECTOR'S NOTE: Much less common than the #250

#252 (Wink-Light)

For use with Models 95, 95A, 95B, 100 (rollfilm), and 700
Similar to the #250, but has a sync cord instead of hot shoe
COLLECTOR'S NOTE: Less common than the #250

#256 (Auxiliary Flasher); for Wink-Lights

For use with any of the above Wink-Lights
This is a small flashgun using AG-1 flashbulbs, and is designed to plug into the side of the Wink-Light. It was intended for low-light photography using 3000-speed film in situations where there was insufficient ambient light to use the Wink-Light alone. Power for the gun comes from the same B-C circuit which powers the Wink-Light bulb.
Reflector swivels for bounce flash capability

#259 flashgun, AG-1, for Swinger Sentinel

For use with Model M15 (Swinger Sentinel)
Similar to built-in AG-1 flashgun on Model 20 (Swinger)

#261 tripod adapter spacer

For use with Models 110, 110A, 110B, 120, 150, 160, and 800
This is a metal bracket which extends the tripod mount on the bed of the camera so that the tripod socket 'clears' the focusing knob.

#274 (Cutter Bar Adapter)

For use with all rollfilm cameras with older (non-locking) cutter bars
This is a serrated steel strip which clips onto the cutter bar of the camera to aid in tearing the then-new Polacolor film (which has a thicker base than the B&W films).

#274L (Cutter Bar Adapter)

For use with all rollfilm cameras with newer (locking) cutter bars

For use with Models 95, 95A, 95B, 100 (rollfilm), 110, and 700
Allows for 90-degree bounce flash for both horizontal and vertical pictures
This simple metal bracket is designed to mate with the #202 and the other flashguns which have the smaller accessory shoe and make their sync connection via a cord.

#291 (Bounce Flash Bracket)

For use with Models 80, 80A, 80B, 110A, 110B, 120, 150, 160, 800, 850, and 900
Allows for 90-degree bounce flash for both horizontal and vertical pictures
This somewhat more complicated metal bracket preserves the 'hot shoe' feature of these cameras
NOTE: This accessory apparently had some design flaw(s), and was fairly shortly replaced by a redesigned version, the #292, below.

#292 (Bounce Flash Bracket)

For use with Models 80, 80A, 80B, 110A, 110B, 120, 150, 160, 800, 850, and 900
Allows for 90-degree bounce flash for both horizontal and vertical pictures
This was an improved replacement for the #291. This bracket also preserves the camera's shoe sync contact, but it is entirely different in appearance from the #291. The #292 is made of plastic, and has a simple L-shape. There is only one accessory shoe, but it can rotate to allow either horizontal or vertical use.

#300 (Polaroid ID Adapter Kit)

The Kit included everything needed to make Polaroid ID photos-- a Model One Hundred camera, a tripod, two lighting assemblies (with lights), a close-up lens, a stereoscopic attachment (allowing two images per exposure), measuring tape, an ID number plate (with interchangable numbers?), and all packaged in a carrying case.

For use with all cameras using 40-series roll films

For use with all cameras using 40-series roll films

For use with all cameras using 40-series roll films

NOTE: See description of the #660 Color Adapter Kit for details.
Components of this set include: two clip-on adapter plates (#533) for the electric eye, a stick-on UV filter (#534) mounted behind the lens, and the same J-5 Flash Reflector included with the #660 Color Adapter Kit.

For use with all cameras using 30-series roll films

For use with all cameras using 30-series roll films

For use with Models 95A, 95B, 100 (rollfilm), 150, 160, 700, and 800
This accessory shutter attachment gives automatic exposure capabilities to any of the above rollfilm cameras. A selenium cell controls a vane which, in turn, controls the flow of air from a pneumatic cylinder. This cylinder controls the timing of the shutter. This is the same principle behind the shutters on the J33 and J66 autoexposure cameras. The Photoelectric Shutter can be easily installed and removed from the camera in a matter of seconds.
The Photoelectric Shutter is designed for use only with 3000-speed film.
The #440 and #440A differ in their (fixed) aperture (the #440 is f/54, versus f/37 for the #440A) and in the color of their plastic housing (the #440 is grey, while the #440A is ivory/white). Both shutters provide the same range of speeds (roughly between 1/10 and 1/800 second).

For use with #440/#440A Photoelectric Shutter
This is a large square yellow filter which clips onto the front of the Photoelectic Shutter, covering both the photocell and the lens aperture.

#450 Sky Filter (shown with original box) [JPEG, 15k]

#451 (4-Stop Filter)

For use with all roll film cameras except Models J33 and J66
Designed for preventing overexposure problems when using 3000-speed film in daylight-- reduces effective speed of 3000-speed film to 200 ASA.
Reversible adapter ring allows same filter to be mounted on 110-series cameras as well as the standard amateur models.
Originally supplied with a fitted plastic pouch case that could be fastened to the camera either via the tripod socket, or on the camera's strap.
Can theoretically be used with Models 850 and 900, but extended exposure settings on these cameras make this accessory unnecessary unless slower shutter settings and/or less depth of field is desired. [The original instruction sheet for this accessory indicates that it is not intended for use with the 850/900 nor the 110B or 120 (the latter two cameras feature an extra "pinhole" aperture stop built into the lens cap).]
This accessory used to be available (free?) from Polaroid Customer Service, but was also sold (at nominal cost) through normal retail channels. This accessory was also included with the Wink-Lights. In any case, this was a very popular and useful accessory.

Part of #660 Color Adapter Kit

For use with all rollfilm cameras except the J33 and J66
Meter calibrations are read directly in EV numbers only-- no actual shutter speeds or aperture settings are shown. An extra screw-mounted meter scale 'replacement' was also supplied to provide readings in the old Polaroid "Light Value" numbers instead of EV's.
Was also originally supplied with an extra (alternate) accessory foot so it could be mounted in the smaller accessory shoes on the Speedliner-type bodies instead.
Made for Polaroid by Metrawatt
Sensitive to EV 7 at ASA 100, and can be set to film speeds from ASA 12 to 12,000
An additional "booster cell" accessory for this meter was planned, but (as far as I know) was never actually offered by Polaroid.

For use with all rollfilm cameras except the J33 and J66
Meter calibrations are read directly in EV numbers only-- no actual shutter speeds or aperture settings are shown.
Made for Polaroid by Gossen
Originally supplied with an extra accessory foot (so could be mounted in the accessory shoes on older models) and an extra stick-on exposure number scale (to give the meter calibrations in the old "Light Value" numbers as used on older models rather than the newer EV system).
Sensitive to EV 4 at ASA 100, and can be set to film speeds from ASA 12 to 12,000
USER NOTE: In terms of range and convenience, this is probably the most versitile of the meters offered by Polaroid for their rollfilm cameras.

Evidently, this is an International-markets version of the #625
Intended for use with Model 160 and 120
Meter calibrations are read directly in EV numbers only-- no actual shutter speeds or aperture settings are shown. Meter scale has an extra index mark to compensate for tungsten-balanced film.
General size and appearance is similar to #625.
Made in Japan by ??

For use with Model J66 only
This somewhat elaborate kit of accessories adapts the J66 to use Type 48 color film. The kit includes three clip-on front plates (#566) which block part of the selenium cell and provide new calibration marks for the lighten/darken control-- this adapts the exposure system for the far slower speed of the color film (ASA 75 rather than 3000). Only one of these front plates is actually to be used with the camera-- the choice of plate depends on the manufacturing date (revision) of the camera, as indicated by a color-coded dot on the lighten/darken control. The kit also includes a larger flashholder and reflector (J-5 Flash Reflector) which clips onto the small AG-1 flashgun built into the camera. The new flashholder accepts the more powerful M3 flashbulbs so that flash photos will be properly exposed with the color film. This flashholder somewhat resembles the #268 flashgun (see the Packfilm accessory section) and, as with the #268, the flash shield doubles as a blue flash filter. The third part of the kit is a UV filter (#567) which is permanently fastened behind the lens with self-sticking adhesive.
COLLECTOR'S NOTE: While the J66 itself is very common, relatively few of them seem to be found with this accessory. Perhaps the relative complexity of using the adapter kit seemed overly counter to the ease-of-use philosophy behind the J66's design. There was an equivalent kit also available for the J33 (the J66's smaller brother) sold as the #330 Color Adapter Kit. See the description of that item for the model numbers of its respective component parts.

#2401 (Print Copier)

For use with Models 110, 110A, 110B, and 120
Similar to #240, but designed for the Pathfinder cameras.
COLLECTOR'S NOTE: Much less common than the #240

For use with Models 95, 95A, 100 (rollfilm), and 700
Film speeds are set by letter codes (A-E) instead of numbers, and the meter is calibrated directly in Polaroid "Light Value" numbers only.
The film speed letter codes apparently correspond as follows: A= 200 ASA, B= 140 ASA, C= 100 ASA, D= 70 ASA, E= 50 ASA
Manufactured for Polaroid by General Electric
COLLECTOR'S NOTE: This is the original exposure meter offered with the Model 95.
NOTE: A fitted leather case (which could be fastened to the strap of the camera's carrying case) was also available for this meter at extra cost ($1.50). This was more than a frill, because the original 'slim' camera case sold for the Model 95 won't close if the camera is placed in it with the meter still attached.

PR-22 Exposure Meter (shown with original box) [JPEG, 28k]

PR-23 exposure meter, grey, LV, ASA speeds

For use with Model 80 only
Film speeds are set by ASA values, and the meter is calibrated directly in Polaroid "Light Value" numbers only. This meter is otherwise similar in appearance to the PR-23A (though the housing is of a slightly different color).
Manufactured for Polaroid by General Electric

For use with Models 80A, 80B, 110A, 110B, 150, 160, 800, 850, and 900
Film speeds are set by ASA values, and the meter is calibrated directly in EV numbers only.
Sensitive to EV 9 at ASA 100, and can be set to speeds from ASA 100 - 800 (in full stop increments only)
Manufactured for Polaroid by General Electric

For use with Model 95B.
Film speeds are set by ASA values, and the meter is calibrated directly in EV numbers only.
Similar to the PR-23A, but has the smaller accessory foot for the Speedliner-type bodies, and is tan/brown in color.
Manufactured for Polaroid by General Electric
COLLECTOR'S NOTE: Appears to be much less common than the PR-23A.

For use with 100- to 400- series folding pack cameras
End of cable release is friction-fit over shutter button on folding pack cameras

For use with 100- to 400- series folding pack cameras
Friction-fits over shutter button on folding pack cameras. Mechanical wind-up timer mechanism can be set for between 5 and 15 seconds of delay.
NOTE: Earlier production models lack time delay calibrations.

#192 Self-Timer (shown with case) [JPEG, 37k]

#193 (Cold-Clip)

For use with all packfilm camera models
Originally supplied with all cameras, but was also available separately from Polaroid in case of loss/damage.
Intended for keeping film warm during development in cold weather. Instructions for use are printed on the Cold-Clip itself.
NOTE: Many Cold-Clips also contain abbreviated camera instructions printed on the other side of the Clip, and these were often geared toward specific camera model(s). Each of these "variant" Cold-Clips appears to have their own distinct model number, so sometime I'll have to try to catalog some of those...

For use with all 100- to 300- series folding pack cameras except the 360
This is the standard flashgun for folding pack cameras. Integrated hinged flash shield is tinted blue; clear M3 bulbs can be used with both B&W and color film. Flash reflector swivels for bounce flash. Spring-loaded lever clips flashgun to top of camera; cord plugs into PC socket on side of shutter housing.
USER NOTE: The battery (one AA-size cell) is replaced by removing the two screws at the bottom of the case.

For use with 180, 190, and 195 only
This flash is entirely different from the #268. It mounts to the side of the shutter housing, with alignment provided by an extra pin jack next to the PC outlet. The reflector is rather small and is of the fanfold variety. The interesting part about this flash is that a spring-loaded rod presses against the camera body (the back part of the camera) so that the flashbulb socket moves in and out of the reflector as the camera is focused, thus altering the dispersion of the light depending on the distance to the subject.

For use with all 100- to 400- series folding pack cameras
Boxy, black vinyl(?) case has compartments for camera, film, flashgun and flashbulbs and/or other accessories.

For use with all 100- to 400- series folding pack cameras
Wider and narrower than #322
COLLECTOR'S NOTE: This appears to be the most common pack camera case by far, and appears to be the basic design for most '3rd-party' pack camera cases of the era.
NOTE: [07/13/97] It looks like I might have the descriptions of the #324 and #322 switched around. I've got to re-check that. There are a few variants of this case which were apparently only available with certain Special Markets cameras as part of a kit. For example, the Model 102 is sometimes found with a white genuine-leather version of this case.

For use with all 100- to 400- series folding pack cameras
Similar to #322, but larger

For use with non-folding plastic pack cameras

For use with #365 Electronic Flash Head
Charges internal batteries in #365 in 1 hour
Originally supplied with Model 360 camera

For use with 360 only
Originally supplied with Model 360 camera
Powered by internal ni-cad battery pack (not intended to be user-replacable).

For use with 250, 350, 360, and 450 (Zeiss rangefinder models)
Kit includes close-up lens, distance- and parallax-compensating 'goggles' for the camera's rangefinder and viewfinder, flash diffuser for #268 flashgun, and flash diffuser for #365 electronic flash.
Allows focus as close as 19 inches
General notes about Portrait Kits and Close-Up Kits for pack cameras: There are several different model numbers for Portrait Kits (and Close-Up Kits), but they mainly only differ in the type of 'goggles' included (Polaroid RF or Zeiss RF) and which flash diffuser(s) is/are included. Therefore, you may find a given Portrait/Close-Up kit is perfectly usable with your camera even though it isn't specifically listed as one of the models intended for it. To make things even more confusing, the later versions of these Kits were sold as 'combined' models (with, say, all of the possible flash diffusers) and labeled with all of the different accessory numbers which they replaced. Incidently, none of the Kits will work with low-end models having a two-element lens. Also, none of the Kits are intended for use with the cheaper triplet-lensed models that have a non-folding RF/viewfinder (i.e. the 330) as the 'goggles' won't fit-- but I suppose you could make do with a ruler and some careful parallax guesstimation.

For use with 250, 350, 360, and 450 (Zeiss rangefinder models)
Kit includes close-up lens, distance- and parallax-compensating 'goggles' for the camera's rangefinder and viewfinder, flash diffuser for #268 flashgun, and flash diffuser for #365 electronic flash.
Allows focus as close as 9 inches

For use with 400-series folding pack cameras
Features "Focused Flash" system-- a set of louvers in front of the flashgun are coupled to the focusing mechanism to alter the flash's light output depending on the distance to the subject.
Designed for use with Hi-Power flashcubes only.

For use with 100, 101, 102, 103, 135, 230, 240, 250, 330, 335, 340, 350, 360, 430, 440, 450, and Countdown M80.

For use with 180, 190, and 195
Supplied with fitted leather case designed to attach to camera strap; meter has a plastic foot which can be attached to the camera's accessory shoe. Incidently, the meter is so designed that it does not need to be removed when closing the camera's flip-down plastic cover.
USER NOTE: This meter uses a (now unavailable) 625 mercury cell for power. In addition, it's not all that convenient or easy to read compared with other CdS meters out there. If you have a 180, 190, or 195, there are plenty of other exposure meters on the market which would work as well or better than this fairly uncommon accessory.

Polavision cameras

#4601 (Polavision Instant Replay Control)

For use with Polavision Player (below)
Wired remote control; Phototape cassette is rewound when button is pressed, thus allowing user to re-play portions of the film
Has a built-in cord reel and winder to store the connecting cord when not in use
NOTE: Also found referred to as #4608

For use with Polavision cameras
This is a small two-lamp quartz light which attaches to a socket on the top of the Polavision camera. The AC cord is plugged into the camera itself, and power to the lights is controlled by the camera's meter switch-- the lights will thus always be on whenever the camera is running, and switch off automatically when the hand grip is released.
As with most clip-on movie lights for Super-8 cameras, attaching the Twi-Light to the Polavision camera automatically causes a correction filter to be moved from in front of the film plane.
Interestingly, the bulbs in the Twi-Light are soldered in place and are not user-replaceable.

For use with Polavision Player (below)
Vinyl dust cover with a slot for the player's carrying handle; the cover can be left on the machine while carrying

For use with Polavision cameras
Includes close-up kit (with specially calibrated measuring tape) and backlight compensation filter

This is a wooden library case with dividers for storing Polavision Phototapes.

For use with Polavision cameras

Required for developing and viewing Phototape cassettes
This is a motorized rear-projection viewer which roughly resembles (and is about the same size as) a 13" television set. When a Phototape cassette is inserted into the Player's slot, it will automatically process the film (if it has not already been), or it will start projecting the film (if it has already been processed). When projection is completed, the film is automatically rewound and stopped. There are almost no user controls on this device (even power on/off is automatic), and in fact, the Instant Replay Control is required for any control of projection motion during playback.
Made for Polaroid by the Eumig corporation
