Polaroid 900FF
The Polaroid 900FF is a 35mm compact point-and-shoot with a fixed-focus lens. Past that, the record gets messy. The name is inconsistent across sources: "900FF," "900 FF," and "900FF" all appear in listings. What's consistent is that it's a 35mm film camera, not an instant camera. That makes it an outlier for a brand most collectors associate with peel-apart and integral film.
The specs that do surface contradict each other. One classified listing describes a 34mm f/5.6 lens with focusing from 1.5 meters to infinity and a 1/125 shutter. An Analogue Shop listing claims a fixed-focus 28mm f/8. Those can't both be right, and no authoritative source reconciles them. The production date is split too: one source says mid-1980s, another says 1998, and a Pinterest snippet says c1997. Multiple sources agree on the film format, 35mm, even though one listing claims it uses Polaroid 600 film. That would be a very different camera.
What seems safe to say: it's a simple, fixed-focus 35mm compact with a built-in flash, aimed at casual photographers. The Avito listing notes automatic rewinding (truncated in the source) and an automatic flash with red-eye reduction. Used prices in recent listings range from about €44 to €70, or 1,800 rubles on the Russian classifieds. One eBay listing describes a tested, working unit with flash.
Little else is documented. No manual has surfaced, no official Polaroid literature, no period reviews. The Lomography page for the "Polaroid 900 FF" exists but contains only navigation text, so there are no facts to extract. If you own one and can confirm the lens or the year, the archive would welcome the correction.
