Refreshed Original Polaroid 660 AutoFucus SE - Cleaned, Refreshed and Ready for Fun

Polaroid released several SE versions of their cameras for photography stores so there was a difference between mass retail and specialty stores. This is one of the original SE 660 Autofocus cameras that had blue lettering and shutter button compared to the red on the standard 660 Autofocus.

I have disassembled the camera, replaced worn parts, cleaned and did a final test. Using all the original special parts to keep the camera a Polaroid SE.

This camera creates either Color or Black-and-White prints depending on the film cartridge you use. Next to the camera is a photo I just took using New Color Polaroid Originals type 600 film.

The Polaroid 660 is the higher end 'Pro' version of the 600 line. These cameras have sonar auto focus (like the famous folding SX70 Sonar camera) and a flash built in. The battery for the flash and all the workings of the camera is contained inside of the film cartridge so there is no worries about leaking batteries. On top of the camera is a indicator showing when the flash is charging and another when it is charged/ready.

On the front of the camera is a slider to adjust for when the background of your subject is over bright/dark.

The shutter button has a second button that allows a photo to be taken without the flash. Also, unique to the 660 is a button under the flash to turn off the auto focus. A handy feature when you want to take a picture through a window. You wouldn't want the flash reflecting or the auto focus taking a picture of the glass.

The Polaroid 660 uses the 600 film cartridges. New film is being made by Polaroid Originals (they have all kinds of fun options) in both Color and Black-and-White prints.

The factory adjustable neck strap and view finder eye piece are both in great shape. The camera also has a tripod screw mount hole in the bottom for those special still shots.
