Description
Polaroid Automatic 103 Land Camera in a grey plastic case and a black fabric carry strap attached to loops built in to the top of the camera. The cover folds down to expose the camera lens - this front cover can be detached and has a spring-controlled wire frame that holds the instruction manual in place. The camera itself folds out from the plastic casing - the viewfinder and focus calculator folds up on a hinge and clicks into place with a magnet; the lens extends out on fabric bellows and is released by pulling the lever numbered “1” up - the bellows can be retracted by pressing down on the crossbar; the back panel can open by sliding a small lever on the bottom.
