Cleaned & Tested Polaroid 600 OneStep - Upcycled Blue, Yellow, Red and Green With Built-In Close Up And Flash

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 using New Color film from The Impossible Project.

This is a vintage Polaroid 600 OneStep. Opening the camera reveals the shutter 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, updated worn parts as needed, cleaned the rollers, and then updated with a bit of fun Blue, Red, Yellow and Green.

The earlier Polaroid 600 took pictures of things 4 feet and further away. This model has a Close Up lens built in. When used, it is possible to take pictures as close as 2 feet away.

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. New film is available from Polaroid Originals, in black-and-white or color prints. 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.
