Polaroid Speedliner 95B Packfilm Conversion
After working on a bunch of 110As I wanted something different. The model 95 has a unique styling that is echoed in the later made roll film models, but simplifies everything.
The lack of a plastic finder housing on top makes the lines of this camera really retro and inviting if anything. The pop up view finder, and wire frame-lines really add to the camera's unique charm and use.
With all that in mind, I thought it was a great choice for another pack film conversion.
I used all I had learned previously to make this model one of the cleaner conversions I have documented. I hope you find it useful in your own endeavors.
