Is that a Mamiya Press/Polaroid 600se?

Hello, Ash

All the Polaroid 600 SE's I've seen are black. This seems to have chrome finish. To me it looks like a Mamiya Universal Press or one of the other family members, which I am not able to distinguish from memory. Some had adjustable backs with set screws at each corner in a similar way as Linhof Technikas and others. This one seems to have the S-shaped film holder. Some of these were 6x9, some 6x7 and some could be adjusted for film format (masks).

Have a nice day!

Could be a Mamiya Super 23:

I read he used 6x9cm for his cloud/sky pictures.

and what he has looking out from his pocket?

I think Ic-racer nailed it. I used one a couple week-ends ago in Yosemite.

I've had a couple of press's now. They are real love or hate cameras. You pick them up love the big viewfinder etc ... then hate them for not fitting in a bag properly!

It's a McCamera...

Most likely a Super 23, where silver body, black lens and S-shape holder would be in time and type. Though a few Universals were silver, too, and some people have been seen with a new (black) lens on a pre Super body...
