This was an expensive camera. $200 when it came out in 1972.

Which would be over $1400 in 2022 dollars.

could you have bought a pro camera for that cost back then? since instant film isn't meant to be professional studio quality

Nikon F2 was $660 w normal lens in 1972. So not really.

There was Polaroid and later Fuji instant film that was studio quality. I used a lot of it.

would that price have made it into "pro camera" territory by any means?
