Refined from the 250/350 series with a brighter rangefinder and improved electronics. CdS coupled meter, programmed electronic shutter, coupled rangefinder, leather-covered folding bellows body.

Released 1971 as the last automatic-exposure Polaroid Land Camera. Production ran 2 years until 1973. The 450 was Polaroid's swan song for the pack-film consumer market — the SX-70 (1972) introduced integral film and eventually displaced the entire Land Camera lineage.
For 2026 buyers, the 450 is the most-refined automatic Polaroid Land Camera. Used at $80–250. Coupled rangefinder, programmed AE, the same pack-film compatibility as the 100/250/350. Same trade-off as all Polaroid pack-film cameras: film is essentially gone (One Instant only).
Lens fixed.
