Technique

POLAROID CAMERAS WERE THE FIRST COMMERCIALLY SUCCESSFUL INSTANT PRINT CAMERAS WHICH WERE EASY TO USE, AND DID NOT REQUIRE THE EXTERNAL USE OF CHEMICALS. ACCORDING TO JERRY FIELDER, KARSH DID NOT USE THIS CAMERA: IT MAY HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO HIM AS A GIFT. KARSH DID USE THE POLAROID BACKS (970347 & 970348) TO MAKE TEST SHOTS PRIOR TO A PHOTO SESSION. James M. Conner, IDSA, of Henry Dreyfuss Associates is credited with the camera's design (1972).
