Polaroid SX-70

A Polaroid SX-70 opened up and ready, in its brushed chrome and tan leather. It is an instant camera that folds flat when closed, and it is a true single-lens reflex: what you see through the finder is what lands on the print. Edwin Land unveiled it at a Polaroid company meeting in April 1972, and it was made until 1981. The print slides out through rollers and develops on its own outside the camera, with no peeling or timing. Polaroid's original film is long gone, but compatible film is made again today, so unlike the Model 95, a working SX-70 can still be loaded and shot.
