[filmscanners] Re: Polaroid 120 opinions

["Arthur Entlich" <artistik@shaw.ca>]

The Polaroid 120 is made by Microtek, and is discontinued as a Polaroid
product to the best of my knowledge.  If you are buying a "new" one make
sure there is still a warranty program for it.  Otherwise, look at the
Microtek version. Or perhaps you are considering used ones.

There were some minor problems with the film carriers.  Otherwise, the
unit was well rated.
