As several people attest to, you can learn to use an Anny, and I do on many occasions. Except for rare occasions, I use the front shutter and set the rear focal plane shutter to "O".

I tell all of my students, "O is for Open, T is for Trouble. When the camera arrives and you get to play with it you'll understand.


Just to keep costs under control, I'd look for a Polaroid 545. There's nothing wrong with the 545i except that it has more plastic and cost more, a few years ago a used 545 was $75-100, now they are $20-50.

The seller wrote back and I will get the camera Friday!

"Your camera will arrive with one film holder for the GRAPHIC SPRING BACK"

I found a 4x5 545 Polaroid Film Back Used + 6 - 4x5 "Lisco Regal II" Film Holders ALL for $95.00!!!

I'll order the loupe, cable release & 4x5 Polaroid Film today and it looks like I'm good to go!

Thank you all again so much!

There is no way I could have picked out all of this stuff without your help!

Every time I pick this camera up I'll send you Blessings!
