A Land camera is an instant camera with self-developing film, named after its inventor and the co-founder of Polaroid Corporation (an electronics and eyewear company), Edwin Land. Polaroid Land Camera Model 95 was the first consumer-level model, released in November of 1948. The Land camera was produced by Polaroid from 1947 until 1983, dropping “Land” from the name in 1982 after Land's retirement. Polaroid discontinued all instant film products in 2008, but has slowly begun to relaunch their iconic film.
