Basics of Function

The following info and photos were mostly taken directly from the prior "Real Deal" conversion. All this info will correlate to the body of the 160 and the lens/shutter from the 110A.

The first step to learning about this camera is to open the front. Push the metal tab on front and the camera will pop out slightly allowing it to be fully opened. It will click and lock when fully opened. Its now rock solid for using the tripod slot on the font by the focus knob.

The lens and bellows can now be pulled out and locked to the focusing rail. Notice the small black tab under the lens, pinch it to unlock and pull it forward.

To close the camera, push down on the strut arms while closing the front.

Turn attention to the 160 and check the bellows as the 110A bellows will be left behind. Luckily my 160 was almost brand spankin' new and was near perfect.

You can see the little metal tab next to the focus knob that unfolds to hold the front of the camera up straight while in this position. Nice touch Polaroid.

With the camera now fully open we can look at the heart and soul of the 110A, the lens and shutter.
