Polaroid 600 Viewfinder Cameras
Polaroid 600 cameras and accompanying film were introduced in 1981 with the Polaroid OneStep 600 camera. This new line of film offered greater speed than the earlier SX-70 film. Polaroid 600 film had an ISO rating about 640, four times faster than that of SX-70 film. This new line of film and cameras was also much more targeted toward the consumer market with cheaper, simpler cameras.
Unlike later generation models within the 600-series line, the OneStep 600 lacks both a built-in flash and close-up filter. It has a single element, plastic 116mm lens that is commonly found in other Polaroid 600 cameras. The OneStep was followed up by dozens of different cameras over the decades, with a complex variety of names. Most of these cameras are largely identical in function; general traits include: a built-in electronic flash that folds down over the lens when the camera is not in use, a sliding close-up filter for close portraiture, and the aforementioned plastic 116mm lens. Some versions offer sonar autofocusing (Polaroid Autofocus 660) or pop up flash (Polaroid Impulse).
