The SX-70 is a folding single lens reflex Land Camera first produced by the P olaroid Corporation in 1972. It was the first instant SLR in history, and the first camera to use Polaroid's new integral print film, which developed automatically without the need for intervention from the photographer. This was revolutionary at the time, and a precursor to today's 600 and Spectra films. The SX-70 has a folding body design, a 4-element 116mm f/8 glass lens, and an automatic exposure system. The camera allows manual focus as close as 10.4 inches (26.4cm), and has a shutter speed range from 1/175s to more than 10 seconds. A variety of models were offered, though all share the same basic design. All models feature an electronically controlled 'f lash-bar ' socket across the top of the camera, for insertion of a 10-times use flashbulb unit. Polaroid - as well as other companies - made external flash units that plugged into this socket. Please note, this camera has NOT been tested with film. However, all the mechanics and gears seem to move correctly. The leather does have some cracking, but does open and fold. It has been used as office decoration for a photographer for the last 10 yrs. If you are a camera enthusiast, or have a knack for fixing older cameras, this could make you quite a bundle. Take it home today! * PLEASE ask all questions read more
