Polaroid 3000 AF (rebadged Yashica Imagination AF Plus) 35mm film camera (serial T-046)

The circa-1999 Polaroid 3000AF (really a rebranded Yashica Imagination AF Plus) is very compact and well-designed autofocus 35mm film camera. It features a wide-angle 28mm f4.5 and a very clever lens cover that pops out and serves as a hood when open (to improve contrast and reduce flare).

Battery information

This camera requires two alkaline AA batteries (not included).
