Mary Moorman's Polaroid Highland Model 80A instant camera was manufactured in 1957.
I have checked, and I now know that it did NOT have a zoom function. It had a 100 mm lens, with f8.8 made of 3 element glass. It had 2 shutter speeds. It had scale focus by rotating the front element but no rangefinder. And it had no zoom function.
So, there was no way that 5 foot Mary, whose camera was less than 5 feet high could have avoided capturing the left arm of BJ Martin, just as Marie Muchmore couldn't with her movie camera.
