Polaroid 215 Automatic – vintage folding peel-apart camera

Produced around the late 1960s, the Polaroid 215 Automatic combines a folding bellows body with automatic exposure, manual distance focusing and classic peel-apart packfilm handling. Its sculptural front cover and extendable lens standard make it particularly attractive as a collectible camera or period prop.

Important film compatibility

This camera uses discontinued Type 100-series 3¼ × 4¼-inch peel-apart packfilm. Original Polaroid film and Fujifilm FP-100C are no longer manufactured. It does not accept modern 600, SX-70, i-Type or Go film. It is sold primarily as a collectible or specialist expired-film camera; shooting results cannot be guaranteed.
