Polaroid Supercolor 635CL Red Stripe with Close Up Lens - Works Great, Upcycled Blue

This camera creates either Color or Black-and-White prints depending on the film cartridge you use. The print next to the camera is one I just took with this camera using new Color film from The Impossible Project and the built in close up lens.

The Polaroid Supercolor 635CL (like the Sun and Spirit) Camera takes photos at 4 feet or further away, with a automatic fill flash. This model of the 600 style has a Close Up lens built into the front. A feature found on the newer 600 cameras. By sliding the close up lens lever, you can photograph things 2 to 4 feet away.

The flash has a indicator on top of the camera to show when the flash is fully charged. The power for the flash comes from the battery in the film cartridge so there is no issues with leaking batteries. There is also a second shutter button for taking pictures without the flash.

Film (600 style) for the Polaroid is available through The Impossible Project in a wide variety of frame designs in both Color and Black-and-White prints.

This camera has an original adjustable neck strap, rubber view finder, working shot counter and the Red stripe and red lettering is original too. I cleaned the rollers, lenses, checked the internal components for wear, replacing as needed. Then shot photos with and without the flash as a final test. There is a slider on the front of the camera to use to get a photo when the background of the photographed area is over bright or over dark.

The Blue is a fun bit of Upcycle I did.
