Custodial history
Scope and content
Item is a Polaroid instant camera with a plastic body. Comes with a case, manual, dental equipment and with a selection of close up lenses. The maker of this camera specialized in modifying Polaroid cameras for dental and forensic work. It was based on a Polaroid 600 series Supercolor camera, but the Sonar focus was locked to a specific point and disabled, and a mount was fitted to the camera enabling the lenses to be changed. The viewfinder modified, as well as the flash, through the use of diffusers. The flash also was fitted with a slide to reduce the power and balance exposure. Due to their custom built nature, this and other Dine cameras are rare. Serial number is H9K7551VDD.
