Cleaned & Tested, Upcycled Green and Blue Polaroid 636 OneStep With Close Up And Flash Built-In

This camera shoots both Color and Black-and-White film depending on the cartridge you use. The print next to the camera is one I just took using the built in close up lens and New Color film from The Impossible Project.

This is a vintage Polaroid 636 OneStep. Opening the camera reveals the lens, flash, close-up lens and light/dark adjustment slider. I cleaned the lenses and viewfinder, cleared out the internal workings of any vintage dust, cleaned the rollers, and then updated with a bit of fun Turquoise. The Blue face, print feed door and neck strap are the way Polaroid made this special edition camera.

The regular Polaroid 600 takes pictures of things 4 feet or further away. This model has a Close Up lens built in. When used, it is possible to take pictures between 2 and 4 feet away too.

The flash is powered through the battery in the film cartridge so there is no worries of leaking batteries. This version of the Polaroid 600 has a second shutter button so you can take pictures with or without the flash. On top of the camera is the indicator that shows when the flash is ready.

After cleaning, I tested the camera with new Impossible Project 600 film to make sure everything is working as expected. The rubber of the view finder eye sight and the neck strap are both in nice condition too. A fun camera that is ready to use, or show on your display shelf.
