this is the polaroid camera i was talking about, the one from ermelo. not sure if it works, don’t know if i can buy film for it, but it’s a cool piece for my bookshelf and my neck.
found these beautiful illustrations drawn by a girl called christine berrie, she sells them in her etsy store. go have a look, you will be so sad that you can’t draw like a genius drawer with genius drawer hands, but you will be happy that you can buy them with your “invisible money” card.
Ah man, I was given a similar camera to that a while ago (also a Kodak Colorburst). Polaroid sued Kodak for it and they had to discontinue the film. 🙁
why can’t big corporations just love one another, like chocolate sauce loves ice-cream?
woweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
oh look at us and our camera necklaces!!
I hope you find film for I would be mega stonking excited to see what pretty things it captures.
I HAVE ONE OF THOSE! My Dad left it with me when he emigrated to New Zealand. It’s in storage. Would LOVE to know if you DO manage to get film for it!
Cool cameras! I have that same top, love it! xox
since Polaroid stopped making film, it’s been harder and harder to find, but the Impossible Project is picking up the production and just came out with the first couple kinds. it’s a little pricey for me to use often, but amazing that they’re doing it.

Yozza – what a find. I also have one, but not as old as that…also not sure about the film situ…good ornament though!
Cool beans!
I also found one at a pawn shop in Durban..exactly the same. Would love to get it working..let us know if you make any progress!
Lovely blog btw! Cant wait til the next time im in jozi town so I can come to Wolves and eat cake xl
Ah man, I ALSO have a Kodak that was in a polaroid case and so I was confused during my ADHD charity store buying frenzy and now Kristen (1st comment) says I can’t buy film? SHITBALLS MAN
my friend doug knows of a site that sells all sorts of old film – i’m going to ask him to pass on the address and we can try there. i have 2 other awesome old polaroid cameras from my mom, from when she was a kid. i would love to get film for those.
Yes, I also wanted to buy myself a polaroid camera but did some research first and found out that they don’t make the film anymore. I did however see some film being sold on bid or buy…maybe you could try there also?
