Simply firing the shutter does not begin the development process. After firing the shutter, you must release a film catch, open a small metal door on the side of the camera which exposes a small paper tab which you pull out of the camera. At this point you wait for the image to develop.
Most film of the day took a full minute for the developing to complete, but this time varied with ambient temperature and with other types of film that became available over the years. Once an adequate amount of time had elapsed, you would open a secondary door on the rear of the camera which exposes the back of the positive image. The positive image has perforations in the paper which you must tear with your fingers to separate the positive from the negative image.
These perforations are why all Polaroid prints from this camera have a unique serrated edge to them. The camera has a total of 3 doors to open for loading and unloading film. There are no shutter speeds or aperture numbers anywhere on the camera. Instead, there was a dial, numbered that would change shutter speed and iris size to correspond to a variety of lighting situations. But before you can do any of this, you need to load film in it.
There are a few videos on Youtube that show how to load film into a 95 series Land Camera, but most of them are either very poorly recorded, blurry, or entirely in Russian. I found the following video below which is done on a Model Land Camera which is very similar to the Model The camera looks different, but they use the same film and load in a similar manner. Since this is a camera from the dead, I wont have any images to show you, but I managed to run across a fellow camera enthusiast named Bernard Wilson who owned a Model 95 back in the s and he offered to send me some scans of images he took with his.
