I've always been interested in 8mm/super8mm 16mm movie formats cameras etc , but have always been intrigued by the oddity that was the Polaroid Polavision system.

It seemed to be a system of Super 8mm film inside a cartridge which was processed inside its own Polavision unit almost instantly and played on a special dedicated viewer.

I remember seeing a friends one when I was about 15 years old and thinking it was like magic!

Did anyone have one ? or any experience with the system?
