Re: polaroid conversion

No, I was wrong. It is the 110A and 110B that had the great lenses
(especially the 110B which had an Ysarex!) I don't know if the 95A
or 95B were ever converted to pack film. Since you can't get film
for these, they are of no use for pinhole conversion.

Look for an "Aitomatic 100" pack film camera. The film is still
being made and the metal camera body has a tripod socket.

P.S. Check The Land List at the url below -- if the listing says
"film no longer available", believe it!
