This is the Shackman Polaroid Multishot 84 Camera.
It has been made by the Shackman Company in England. It shoots
4 passport pictures on a sheet of 100 pack film. Besides Polaroid
making its own Polaroid branded passport cameras (most from Japan),
there were many companies attaching their own brand like Cambo and
Shackman.
Focal distance calculated for 1.5m distance to the object.
F: 11 to 64.
Fixed shutter speed.
Hot shoe for flash Viewer with lined frame.
It
takes 4 pictures at once, but can make different pictures if using
black lens caps. There was a rotating disk to be stuck into the hole
between the 4 lenses which bore rubber caps, so you could choose your
configuratin. The camera works without batteries.
So here are some pictures:
A compact, lightweight and easy-to-use camera.
Front. Aperture setting.
Left side, Shutter button, actions an ever-ready shutter.
Right side.
Back side.
Seen from above. Viewer with hot shoe.
Tripod socket. To make portraits, you have to hold or fix the camera sideways.
Film Back open.
If you unscrew the back (only 4 screws), you can take out the
compartment sheets and re-arrange them for various configurations. So
it's possible to make stereo pictures either in portrait or landscape
mode. You will need the lens caps or the rotating disk...
