One of the true freaks in the world of Polaroid cameras, the Big Shot was made to fulfill exactly one purpose: taking portraits on Polaroid Type 100 Packfilm. It has a 220mm f/29 lens, a fixed shutter speed of roughly 1/50th, and a fixed focusing distance of about a meter. It also has a rangefinder to help make sure you've got your subject in focus. All of this made for a niche camera but it would find a fan in Andy Warhol who went on to use it for some of his famous portraits.
Nowadays, however, it's a bit more difficult to use. Packfilm, once commonly available at almost any camera store, is now discontinued with only expired Polaroid and Fujifilm packs available secondhand. The Magicube flash cubes the camera takes are also getting harder to find every year. However it is possible to convert these cameras to use Fujifilm Instax Wide film, both in a DIY and more professional manner, so there is still a life out there for these cameras if you're willing to do the work.
This used item is functional and in good shape but is being sold "as-is" due to the original film being discontinued and with the assumption that it might be bought to be modified. It is located at the Red Deer store.
