Polaroid Miniportrait 202 dual lens camera w/ 545 Land Film Holder
The Polaroid Miniportrait 202 is a specialty dual lens camera. It was originally used in professional applications like identity card photography, but like the other Miniportrait cameras, is now more popular for art portraiture and experimental photography.
The camera offers three shutter speeds (bulb, 125, and 60) and three apertures (f8, f16, and f32). The camera is fully mechanical. It offers an accessory shoe and standard P.C. socket for flash or studio strobe use (its leaf shutter synchronizes at all speeds).
The Miniportait features a Graflok style connector so many 4x5 sheet film holders and accessories can be attached.
The camera's lenses offer a fixed focus of 1.2 meters (ideal for portraits) and a built-in retractable measuring tape to help you get your subject in position.
Note: this is a large and heavy camera, if you live in the Montreal area we recommend buying it in person to save on shipping chargers.
This camera is in good cosmetic condition (see photos) with wear from use. The camera is working correctly. The included 545 Land Film Holder film back is in functional but well-worn condition (the most notable flaw is the end of the 'control arm lever' is broken off; it still works though). The 545 Land Film Holder isn't particularly useful as instant film sheets are no longer available. Most people would want to use a standard sheet film holder with this camera.
