Land Camera

Polaroid Land Camera Model 95, the first commercially available instant camera

The Land Camera is a model of self-developing film camera manufactured by Polaroid between 1948 and 1983. It is named after the inventor, American scientist Edwin Land, who developed a process for self-developing photography between 1943 and 1947.[1] After Edwin Land's retirement from Polaroid in 1982, the name 'Land' was dropped from the camera name.[2] The first commercially available model was the Model 95,[3] which produced sepia-colored prints in about 1 minute.[4] It was first sold to the public on November 26, 1948.[5]
