Polaroid Job Pro 2 Business Edition

The Polaroid Job Pro 2 Business Edition is a camera from Polaroid. It is an instant camera. The functionality of the model is the same as the Polaroid One Step (rounded corners). The body of the camera is black. Next to the flash you can find the logo “Polaroid JOBPRO 2”. The imprint “600 Business Edition 2” can be found in white letters next to the lens.

A plus point of the Polaroid Job Pro 2 Business Edition is its ease of use. Most of the settings options that you are used to on other types of cameras are not present on this model. Thanks to its simplicity, it can be used on many occasions. If you are planning a wedding or a party, the camera is a good choice for taking pictures. It is also a reliable companion on vacation.

The most important settings are fixed. Aperture and shutter speed, for example, cannot be changed by the user. The Polaroid instant camera comes with a fixed lens. There is no zoom function, as with a digital camera. For close-ups, you therefore have to get a few steps closer to the subject. The shortest distance for focusing is 60 cm. This is the minimum distance that must be maintained to achieve razor-sharp results with the close-up lens.

Of course, the camera must not be without a built-in flash. The flash fires automatically. Especially in low light conditions, the flash is a lifesaver.

Films for the Polaroid Job Pro 2 Business Edition

Quite important for the camera are the appropriate photo films. The original film material is no longer produced. A company from the Netherlands produces again suitable films for the 600 format.

Easy to find online are a color instant film and a black and white film. The suitable color film is the Polaroid Color Film for 600*. Black and white photography is possible with the Polaroid B&W Film for 600*. Both films cut a fine figure in use.

The contents of one pack are eight images. Under no circumstances should the light-sensitive material come into contact with light. The optimal conditions for storage are found in a dry and dark place.

The size, 10.8 x 8.8 cm, of a picture has not changed over the decades. The captured image is square and 7.7 by 7.7 cm. The remaining area is filled by the frame. Special edition of Polaroid films with colorful frames are also offered.

It is not possible to use the Instax films in the Polaroid Job Pro 2 Business Edition.

Batteries

Do you need batteries for the instant camera? In this type of camera, the battery is inside the film cassette. The disposable battery is sufficient for all unexposed images in the cassette. Even when using the flash for each shot. So replacing the film is also replacing the battery. There is no need to buy another battery for the camera.

The disposable battery does not belong in the household waste together with the film cassette. It is best to take the plastic cassette or battery to a suitable local drop-off location.
