The Polaroid 100, also known as the Automatic 100, was made around 1963 and introduced Polaroid's new "pack film". Their previous models used a complex rollfilm with caustic internal chemicals that required the "instant pictures" to develop inside the camera so that you had to wait before you could shoot another. With their much simpler pack films and advanced cameras, the film was contained in a compact drop-in pack and the pictures were pulled out of the camera to develop within their own individual sleeves. After the appropriate development time, usually 60 to 90 seconds, the sleeve was peeled apart to reveal the finished photograph. Polaroid still makes a LOT of varieties of their "pack film", but they are hard to find in stores. You really have to find a large photo supply store with an extensive inventory of films, and then ask specifically for Polaroid "pack film". Hopefully they will have several different kinds, giving you a variety to choose from, but be sure to bring the camera with you and make the dealer understand what you want. You do NOT want modern SX-70 or Spectra or Time Zero or any of Polaroid's other self ejecting packs that spit out pictures that develop right before your eyes! These will not work in your camera! You want old fashioned "pack film", and get the simplest color stock they offer. You do not need the fancy expensive varieties that provide a seperate negative with the picture (professionals still use these), just the standard color stock that will give you a single photograph with each shot. As for the camera's value today, well, quite honestly, pretty darn nil. The market was glutted with these (and many similar models) in the 1960's and early 1970's, the supply remains HUGE today, and there's little collectible interest. With a very few exceptions (those being a couple of superb professional models with better lenses and shutters), most of these types of Polaroids are readily available in the $10 to $20 range, and most seasoned collectors won't even take them for free!

Well, going around my storage I found my old land camera. I cleaned it up, rollers are pretty good, scraped some rust off so now will try to find a 4.5 volt battery for it and some "pack film" and see if it still works. I just came across this site while checking on land camera 100's to get more about the camera and operation. With some of the feedback I read-it really helped a lot. Thanks.
