lntroduction
The
Polaroid MP-4 Land Camera is
an
unusually versatile
photographic
unit. Its
uses
in
industry,
business, medicine,
research, education,
the graphic
arts,
and
in
a
vast variety of other fields are
almost
unlimited. They
include
photomicrography,
photomacrography,
wall chart
copying,
slide
making, X-ray
copying, smalÌ
object
photography, gross specimen photography,
and
many others.
The
camera can
be
used
with
almost all
Polaroid
Land film types.
With
these,
it
can
complete
most
jobs
within
seconds,
without
a darkroom. The
camera can also
be
used
with
wet-process
films
of
some
formats.
The selection
of
lenses, and
a
special
macro
extension, render possible
a
wide
range of
reproduction ratios, from extreme
reduction
to
high
magnification.
For
even
higher magnification,
the
camera can
be
used
together
with
a
microscope.
With
its wide selection
of accessories,
the
MP-4 is much more than
just
a
camera
-
it
is
a
complete
photographic
system.
The
versatility
of
the
system is
truly
lim-
ited
only by the imagination
and
ingenuity
ofthe
user.
