Polaroid SX-70 Film Camera

I hope that in future we will see new movies for this remarkable camera. Now it is expensive. But still this is an excellent example of a collectible for the true connoisseurs of photography and its history.

this camera pieces are wonderful creations by man,
this is the SLR for polaroids, the depth and beauty this camera makes, are irreplaceable by any camera out there anymore, since in january 2010, the polaroid film will return in the market again, resurrecting this camera from its tomb

I haven't tested the camera yet, but shipping was prompt and communication was good. Would do business with this seller again.

i bought this camera for using and interior meterior.

this is unique and antique camera

you can use it with poraroid film, but poraroid did not make the film anymore.

or you can use poraroid 600 film with ND filter.

it give you beautiful picture.

I love my sx-70.
It arrived in good time and, more importantly, working condition.
I would definitely recommend this seller.

I can still get some film for this camera. Hopefully more film will be available soon. The shape, the leather, the metal looking plastic and the fold of this machine is gorgeous. Let's get polaroid back in track!

Bought this old camera for its unique look. Hard to see inside the viewer, so havent really tried it. Have used another Polaroid SX70 Sonar, which is auto focus and therefore easier to use.

This is one of the most classic polaroid camera. Its excellency & elegancy design catched my eyes ever since I saw it in the photo book. It's so amazing to see it from flat object and pop it up to be the SLR camera!!
It's not the compact or RF camera, it's the real SLR camera with polaroid film. (The only other SLR-polaroid camera that I know is Polaroid SE which is big and heavy) You can see the real image thru the viewfinder to make the sharp focus. However, this camera has its limitation about the exposure. Since SX-70 has automatic shutter speed to match with the fix aperture (around F/8 or F/11- I think) via electric eye, so it is not suitable for indoor photography except with flash. You cannnot use any tripod since no tripod socket installed. (SX-70 need special tripod head no. 111, if you can find it!) Although I can use the exposure compensation wheel called L/D control in front of the camera to fine tune the exposure, it's only the little help since I don't know what exactly mean for each mark; half stop or one stop?
What's more, the film that exactly match with this camera is also rare, mostly expired and high price. I used the 779 film that produced by polapremium. However, the 779 film is ISO 600 while the SX-70 required ISO 100 film, so I had to reduce the light that fall on to film by either way; one - by put the ND filter in front of the lens that will make me hard to focus in the dark viewfinder, or two - by put the ND filter in front of the film pack. I chose the second choice that cost me another $16.00.
About a month I bought this vintage camera, I always appreciate with the genius of the designer who make this charming tools, simple and smart. Although the photos didn't meet my expect, some dark, some blur and very few that OK, but I still find the new way to control this camera and wish it will become one of my favorite tools in the near future.
Recommend to everyone who:
- love to shoot and have fun with polaroid film. (and also afford to pay)
- want to impress others with the pop up design and the way the photo come out.
- collect the smart and charming tools.
