I have a Polaroid Land Camera model 80A. I'm not sure what the year is, but I would like to get it repaired if possible. I have film for it already. Can you please give me a repair shop to send it to?
Thank you,
Monica |

Hello Monica. From your point of view, sad to say that even if you could find a convenient repair shop, the cost of repair will most certainly exceed the market value of your camera. Personally I would junk it & look around for a cheap replacement. |

Hm, as far as I know, the instant roll film for the Polaroid 80 has been discontinued decades ago. Or is your camera modified for normal (120) roll film?

I quit using Polaroid rollfilm when my last two rolls had the same problem. Got the first two shots off the roll, then as I went to process the third shot, the complete roll came out of the camera. That was twenty years or more ago. I'd hate to think what kind of condition your film is in today. You'd be better off with a Kodak Tourist with the 200 speed shutter.

I'm not sure what is wrong with the Polaroid model 80A. It just does not take the pictures when I press the button. Thank you everyone for your posts. I probably will just use it as a display in my house. |
