I found a Land Camera for sale on craigslist.com. I didn’t know anything about the camera when I bought it. Not even how to extend the bellows. What I found out was my $20 purchase was in MINT condition and included every accessory in the book.

Bought a pack of Fujifilm FP-100C and a 4.5v battery from B&H for test shots. Above is the results. Ordered some ISO 3000 B&W film for party shots. I hope to shoot through that pack this weekend.

Last night I took it from her and snapped off three photos before she could rip it out of my hands. I now owe her $6 for wasted polaroids even though she has about 50 or so on her wall in her room.
