Polaroid 160
The Polaroid 160 is an instant film camera produced by Polaroid as part of its mid-20th-century roll-film instant range. It was a consumer-level model designed for self-developing pack or roll film photography.
At UK auction, the Polaroid 160 occupies the low end of the instant-camera market, with a recent hammer price of £38 in January 2026 setting the reference point for what a 160 sells for today. Values are condition-sensitive: examples with intact bellows, working shutters and clean optics achieve more than incomplete or shabby bodies, and the model's worth at saleroom level remains modest compared with later Polaroid Land cameras.
