1- Description

General

The Polaroid Land Models 600 and 600SE Professional Pack Film Cameras are non-folding

cameras designed for the professional photographer. They use a removable Polaroid pack film

holder which accommodates Polaroid pack film holder which accommodates Polaroid type

100/600 Land Film.

Major Assemblies of the Camera

Each camera has three major assemblies (Figure 1-1). The camera body and handle, the lens-

shutter assembly and the film holder.

Figure 1-1. Major assemblies of the camera

The camera body with handle attached support the film holder and the lens-shutter assembly.

The camera body houses the rangefinder assembly as shown in Figure 1-2. The rangefinder

assembly has a built-in viewfinder. It is referred to as the RF/VF (rangefinder/viewfinder).

Lenses - The Model 600 Camera has a 127mm f/4.7 lens (Figures 1-5

through 1.7). Two additional interchangeable lenses are available for

Model 600SE (Table 1-2).

The interchangeable lenses use a bayonet type mount for attaching to

the camera body. A lens release button locks the lens to the camera

body.

The lenses are fully coated and color corrected. Each is in a shutter that

allows exposure control with a wide range of shutter speed/aperture

combinations.

All lenses are equipped with Seiko between-the-lens shutters. Each lens

comes with front and rear lens caps and a collapsible rubber lens hood.

Note: The 75mm lens comes with an accessory viewfinder.

Shutter - Seiko "S" shutters are contained within the lenses, providing shutter

speeds from 1 /500 sec to 1/sec, plus bulb and "X" synchronization.

The setting of shutter speeds is possible with the shutter in the uncocked

or cocked position.

The shutter has a "B" (bulb) setting for time exposures. This allows the

shutter to be held open as long as the exposure release is held down.

"X" synchronization allows the flash contacts to close when the shutter is

fully open, at all shutter speed settings.

Filters - Model 600 and 600SE lenses accommodate standard screw-in filters

(Table 1-2) for correct screw-in filter size.

Viewfinder - Both models 600 and 600SE cameras are equipped with a

coincidence-type rangefinder in which two images come together within

a circle when in focus.

The focusing range is from 3.5 feet (1.1 meter) to infinity.

The model 600SE camera has a single window, superimposed coupled

rangefinder with a bright frame that moves for parallax correction.

Framing lines within the finder can be selected for the 127mm and

150mm lens fields-of-view.

A 75mm parallax corrected viewfinder supplied with the 75mm lens can be

mounted on top of the rangefinder area of the model 600SE camera body

(Figure 1-7).

The model 600 camera rangefinder/viewfinder has framing lines for the

127mm lens only.

Figure 2-1. Operating the professional pack film land camera

The shutter blades are closed until the shutter release button is pressed. When the shutter release

is pressed, scene light passes through the lens, through an opening in the shutter blades and onto

the film in the film holder (Figure 2-2). The dark slide must be removed to allow scene light to

reach the film.

1. Be sure the dark is removed. Look through the

viewfinder to frame the picture. Set the focus.

Figure 2.2. Framing a picture

Viewing and Focusing with the 127mm and 150mm Lenses

The image shown in Figure 2-3 can be seen by looking through the eyepiece of either the model

600 or model 600SE cameras.

In the model 600SE camera the viewfinder frame is adjustable for the 127mm and 150mm lenses.

The number that appears just below the top right framing line indicates the lens that has been

selected. Sliding the selector switch to the other position ;changes the framing image to match

the focal length of the other lens. A lens indicator number does not appear in the model 600

image area.

The framing lines, framing dots and coincidence image circle appear as bright yellow light in your

field of vision.

For close up photographs of 10 feet or less, the picture is composed within the framing lines

shown. When focusing beyond 10 feet, the picture is composed within the limits of the eight

framing dots.

The Models 600 and 600SE are equipped with a coincidence-type rangefinder in which two

images come together within a circle when in focus. Familiarize yourself with it by setting the lens

at infinity. Now focus on a nearby subject.

View your subject through the bright yellow circle in the viewfinder. Position your eye so the entire

circle is visible. Within the circle your subject will appear as tow images. Turn the focusing ring so

that these two images coincide. Now the camera is focused on your subject.
