Packfilm Accessories
Each accessory's description will let you know to which model they can be used or are most appropriate for.
#126
Development Timer; mechanical, adhesive tape
- For use with all packfilm camera models
- Mechanical development timer; attaches to camera body with self-adhesive tape
#127
Development Timer; mechanical, adhesive tape
- For use with all packfilm camera models
- Mechanical development timer; attaches to camera body with self-adhesive tape
- Later model; similar in style and operation to built-in mechanical timer on some 300- and 400- series pack camera models.
#128
Development Timer; mechanical, strap-mount
- For use with all packfilm camera models
- Mechanical development timer; integrated plastic case can be attached to camera strap on folding pack cameras.
- For use with 100- to 400- series folding pack cameras
- End of cable release is friction-fit over shutter button on folding pack cameras
- For use with 100- to 400- series folding pack cameras
- Friction-fits over shutter button on folding pack cameras. Mechanical wind-up timer mechanism can be set for between 5 and 15 seconds of delay.
Notes: Earlier production models lack time delay calibrations where you can set from 5s to 15s or so.
- For use with all packfilm camera models
- Originally supplied with all cameras, but was also available separately from Polaroid in case of loss/damage.
- Intended for keeping film warm during development in cold weather. Instructions for use are printed on the Cold-Clip itself.
Notes: Many Cold-Clips also contain abbreviated camera instructions printed on the other side of the Clip, and these were often geared toward a specific camera model. Each of these "variant" Cold-Clips appears to have their own distinct model number but is never the less, the same thing..
#268
Flashgun, clip-on, for M3 bulbs
- For use with all 100- to 300- series folding pack cameras except the 360
- This is the standard flashgun for folding pack cameras. Integrated hinged flash shield is tinted blue; clear M3 bulbs can be used with both B&W and color film. Flash reflector swivels for bounce flash. Spring-loaded lever clips flashgun to top of camera; cord plugs into PC socket on side of shutter housing.
Notes: The battery (one AA-size cell) is replaced by removing the two screws at the bottom of the case.
#280
Flashgun, clip-on, for AG-1 bulbs
- For use with 180, 190, and 195 only
- This flash is entirely different from the #268. It mounts to the side of the shutter housing, with alignment provided by an extra pin jack next to the PC outlet. The reflector is rather small and is of the fanfold variety. The interesting part about this flash is that a spring-loaded rod presses against the camera body (the back part of the camera) so that the flashbulb socket moves in and out of the reflector as the camera is focused, thus altering the dispersion of the light depending on the distance to the subject.
#322
Carrying Case; medium size, top-open
- For use with all 100- to 400- series folding pack cameras
- Boxy, black vinyl/leather case has compartments for camera, film, flashgun and flashbulbs and/or other accessories.
#324
Carrying Case; slim-style, front-open
- For use with all 100- to 400- series folding pack cameras
- Wider and narrower than #322
Notes: There are some special market versions of differing colors; for example the Model 102 is sometimes found with a white genuine-leather version of this case.
Collector's Note: This appears to be the most common pack camera case by far, and appears to be the basic design for most '3rd-party' pack camera cases of the era.
#326
Carrying Case; large size, top-open
- For use with all 100- to 400- series folding pack cameras
- Similar to #322, but larger
- For use with #365 Electronic Flash Head
- Charges internal batteries in #365 in 1 hour
- Originally supplied with Model 360 camera
- For use with 360 only
- Originally supplied with Model 360 camera
- Powered by internal ni-cad battery pack (not intended to be user-replacable).
- For use with 250, 350, 360, and 450 (Zeiss rangefinder models)
- Kit includes close-up lens, distance- and parallax-compensating 'goggles' for the camera's rangefinder and viewfinder, flash diffuser for #268 flashgun, and flash diffuser for #365 electronic flash.
- Allows focus as close as 19 inches
General notes about Portrait Kits and Close-Up Kits for packfilm cameras: There are several different model numbers for Portrait Kits (and Close-Up Kits), but they mainly only differ in the type of 'goggles' included (2 window folding or Zeiss) and which flash diffuser(s) is/are included. Therefore, you may find a given Portrait/Close-Up kit is perfectly usable with your camera even though it isn't specifically listed as one of the models intended for it. To make things even more confusing, the later versions of these Kits were sold as 'combined' models (with, say, all of the possible flash diffusers) and labeled with all of the different accessory numbers which they replaced.
#490
Flashgun, uses flashcubes
- For use with 400-series folding pack cameras

#628
Exposure meter, CdS, made in Japan by ??
- For use with 180, 190, and 195
- Supplied with fitted leather case designed to attach to camera strap; meter has a plastic foot which can be attached to the camera's accessory shoe. Incidently, the meter is so designed that it does not need to be removed when closing the camera's flip-down plastic cover.
Notes: This meter uses a (now unavailable) 625 mercury cell for power. In addition, it's not all that convenient or easy to read compared with other CdS meters out there. If you have a 180, 190, or 195, there are plenty of other exposure meters on the market which would work as well or better than this fairly uncommon accessory.
- For use with 195 ONLY

- Packaged in a soft vinyl case
- For use with 195 ONLY
