On August 30th, 1946 a patent was filed by American inventor and physicist, Edwin H. Land. The patent titled "Apparatus for Exposing and Processing Photographic Film" was later known as Polaroid. The instant camera and film first sold in November of 1948. The Polaroid Model 95 camera's original retail price was $95, but price quickly increase to $150 with the high demand (if sold today: $850-1350).
In 2008, Kodak discontinues selling all instant films, but to the dislike of many loyal photographers they brought it back in 2009 with the Polaroid 300 camera and film.
