Behind the Polaroid SX‑70
Picture this: at the Polaroid company meeting in 1972, founder Edwin Land stepped onto the stage, pulled a camera out of his jacket pocket, and took five instant photos in just ten seconds. That camera was the Polaroid SX-70, and it was the camera that made truly instant photography possible for the first time ever.
Works with:
- SX-70 film
A Living Legend
This is a fully refurbished vintage Polaroid camera. Each day we save original Polaroid cameras from decades past and lovingly restore them to give them a new life.
Manual focus
Turn the focus wheel and get as close as 26.4cm (10.4”) to your subject with full manual control in the world’s first folding instant SLR camera.
Fold‑down design
Each piece of glass, metal, and leather collapses into a self-contained case for compact carrying.
Flash ready
SX-70 cameras like this one were designed without a built-in flash. If you want to shoot in low-light environments, we recommend getting a MINT Flashbar too.
SX-70 film
Uses SX-70 film that has a lower film speed to give you richer texture and finer grain.
