Note for the Polaroid Land CameraPiece of paper inside of box (1988.72.3) reading,
"Your camera is equipped with the newly introduced EV (Exposure Value) shutter numbers, an extension of the original Polaroid Land Camera shutter number system. On earlier cameras, the numbers ran from 1 to 8; on yours they run from 10 to 17 (just 9 higher). The old '1' is '10' on your camera, '2' is '11', etc.
For the next few months, you may find that some picture roll instructions carry only the original numbers. Keep this guide handy in your camera case until all instruction sheets have the EV numbers. EV numbers are shown in red.
