FPP #490 Electronic Flash Holder w/ Electronic Flash (for 400 Series folding Polaroid Land Cameras)*
Item Description
A Film Photography Store exclusive item engineered in our very workshop! Your days of using expensive, old-fashioned flash cubes are over when you purchase the FPP 490 Flash Bracket with the FPP 50M electronic flash. The Polaroid 490 mount will fit perfectly atop your folding 400 series Polaroid Land “pack” camera.* The PC cord from the flash fits into the PC socket of your camera allowing the use of the electronic flash.
This FPP #490 Electronic Flash Shoe and Flash has been fully tested by FPP’s Michael Raso for functionality and includes the following:
- Cold shoe flash bracket for 400 series Polaroid cameras
- FPP 50M Electronic Flash with PC cord
- Two AA batteries included
* The FPP #490 Flash Holder will fit in Polaroid Land Camera model #’s 420, 430, 440, 450, Countdown 70 and Countdown 90. The FPP team has done ample testing and found that the electronic flash works best at 4 – 5 feet from your subject. Longer distances will require you to adjust the exposure to “lighten” with experimentation.
Also note that Polaroid Corporation never intended electronic flashes to be used with their pack cameras so use of electronic flash with your Polaroid camera is at your own risk. Note - we have never had a problem using electronic flash with a Polaroid Land Camera.
