I'm wondering if anyone has any feedback, experience or advice regarding Polaroid cameras. I'm interested in getting a good polaroid camera to aid in shooting photo reference for portraits. Recently I saw a camera belonging to a friend that is no longer being made. It enabled you to shoot black and white polaroids of your subject and helped both in judging the light and composition. Once you arrived at the proper F-stop and shutter speed on the polaroid, those same settings could be used on another camera. I have had many experiences with wasted rolls of film, so the "pre-visualization" the Polaroid offers seems like a great tool!

I am also aware of Polaroid backs that can be attached to a regular camera. I'm just starting to research this, so any info anyone might have about camera models, prices, good places to look and so on would be wonderful!
