Polaroid Land Camera Automatic 100 all the way!

I had mine out today and got some great shots, the only thing is, I need a portrait and close up kit.

I have looked at cameras like the 195 but find them fragile. I would not want to haul that thing around. I am not the nicest to my gear as it is a tool.

I climb trees, ladders, fire escapes, crawl through bushes and all around rough on myself and my cameras and the 100, 190, 250 & 360 that I use have always been up to the challenge. The only thing to look out for is if you load a pack in, use it all and don't let it set up with dirty rollers they will create strange effects on the film but that is the same with any of the Polaroid equipment.

My polaroid 360 (with two extra lenses and RF flash) was $35 and is rugged. Give it shot. It's pretty cheap and gives darn good results.

I have not decided on a full 4x5 or a smaller one. I would like the 4x5 just to have the ability to shoot at that size. And I do see how a mamiya would be much faster to shoot, and easer.

The smaller camera won't take a Polaroid back

Yea I realized that after i posted it.

Just to throw in my recent experience, I just got a Polaroid back/holder for the smaller pack film (3.25x4.25) for my 4x5 monorail camera. The film back was cheaper, and the smaller FP-100C is much more affordable for me the than the 4x5 version of the film.

ok, I have been thinking more and more, and I am probably just going to go with a view camera. I have been looking into the linhof kardan series (the older ones) I really like the kardan Bi but it only shoots polaroids in the portrait position unless you get a spacer, but it is hard to find. I also don’t know how what back holds the 3.25x4.25 pack film. Can you tell tell me which one? Also I can’t find which cameras in the kardan series can use a polaroid back with out an adaptor.
