Polaroid Turns 75 - They Celebrate with Giveaways and Discounts.....

Polaroid-75years.jpg It's the 75th anniversary of the founding of the company of Polaroid. Hard to believe. Polaroid  war very important in the days preceding digital as we pros used the venerable model 199 with 600 film to check the lighting in studio shots./ I remember those days well
Now the Polaroid Facebook page has chances for us to win a new camera,  a tablet or  a camcorder; it all dependson the week in which you enter. Win or lose, you'll get a discount good for the purchase of gear from the Polaroid website - five percent for cameras and 10 percent for tablets. Not bad, and BTW, Happy Birthday.
