You're welcome.
Model 110A, 100B have the best lenses.
I also own a 110a converted to use packfilm (rollfilms are hard to find...)
Happy vintage polaroiding!
2008-09-27 // 22:08:31 sulfiteman Ah right, sorry - inadequate research by me, I thought a 150 was a pack film camera in the "100" series - but that then leads me on to my second question; this sort of roll film for these very early Polaroid cameras hasn't been made for years, has it? So how and where have you obtained supplies?

I bought this camera on ebay in bundle with two boxes of film just to try the old rollfim. I was not able to read the expiration date (probably in mid 80s).
Definitely it was worth trying:
model 150 is pleasantly heavy and solid (much more I could think)
and the old developing process held me captivated...
