What do I have here?

[L Collins]

I am in possession of a Polaroid Pro Pack camera. It has been modified to accept the Rodenstock 127mm lens and shutter from the Pathfinder 110A Camera.

The front plate has been taped over very nicely, and I'm unsure exactly what model it is - 180/185/195? Something else? Before I rip away the tape I'm wondering if anyone can help me identify it.

I've also included a pic of two Avigon auxillary lens that fit the front of the Rodenstock. If anyone knows anything about these I'd appreciate any insight.

The camera takes stunning photos. The Rodenstock is an incredible lens.

Looks like a later model automatic camera like a 360 or 450 that was modified with the Rodenstock lens. There is a company called LandCameras that works on these and possibly had done that mod but it looks more home made. The 180/185/190 series cameras were factory manual operation and would not have the automatic sensor. The original lens would have been 114mm so you may have to compensate a little on the rangefinder. Also the timer can foul on the Fuji film packs and cause jams. You may need to remove it by drilling the rivets. Yes that lens is very good, I have it on my modified 110b.

its not a 450, if it were it would have a zeiss finder. I think it would be in 300's or 400's for sure with the exception of the 450 and 350. Though someone COULD have put on a swapped finder...

You are right ZF1. Can't believe I did not notice that. The timer through me off. Anyway it should take good photos with that lens.

my guess:
the body of a land camera 360 minus the zeiss finder (replaced) and the lens of the 110a or b
have fun!

Maybe the original builder thought the Polaroid finder would be better with the 127mm lens.

Thanks for all the replies. Very helpful!

I've made a few of these. It's a great camera to use, with rangefinder focussing, full exposure control, and excellent image quality.
