Vintage Refurbished [ℹ]

The Impulse was Polaroid's first major reimagining of what a 600 instant film camera could be. It features a compact design, making it more convenient to store and, thanks to its binocular-style grips, easier to hold and shoot. It also has a pop-up flash that protects the lens when not in use. 

This camera's eye-catching yellow body was painted by our technician team. Polaroid only made yellow Impulse cameras, not Impulse AutoFocus cameras — meaning this model is one-of-a-kind!

Fun fact: The yellow Polaroid Impulse is the rarest of all the Impulse cameras. The cameras famously featured a sticker on the back reminding the photographer that the camera is not waterproof, despite its yellow color. That same sticker is included on this handpainted AutoFocus model for extra authenticity!

The Polaroid Impulse, with its built-in flash and Sonar AutoFocus is an incredibly versatile instant film camera ready to excel in nearly any situation.

The high speed of 600 film, which requires less light, combined with a built-in flash and fixed focusing, form an incredibly versatile instant film camera that’s easy to use and ready to excel in nearly any situation. When it comes time to take a picture, remember: Polaroid film is sensitive to light, so keep it shielded, or in a dark place, for several minutes while it's developing so you can get the most vivid result.

This is a genuine piece of vintage retro technology refurbished and restored by Retrospekt.

Their perfect blend of form and function may be ageless, but to make sure everything works like new, the team at Retrospekt carefully refurbishes every Polaroid camera by hand from the inside out. Each camera is cleaned, serviced and tested to ensure complete functionality for another lifetime of use.

This camera has experienced decades of life before finding its way to Retrospekt. As such, it will show some signs of past use and may vary ever so slightly from what is pictured. However, we are extremely picky about the condition of the cameras we restore and the parts we select for the repair process. The end result is an excellent vintage restoration that is guaranteed to work properly. Should any questions arise, we have a team of friendly people ready to help you.
