Product code: Vintage Polaroid SX-70 Land buy Camera; First Instant Single Lens Reflex; Untested
The folding Polaroid buy SX-70 is the first instant single lens reflex land camera produced by the Polaroid Corporation from 1972 to 1981. Polaroid founder, Edwin H. Land, announced the SX-70 at a company meeting in April 1972, taking it from his coat pocket & taking 5 pictures in 10 seconds, impossible to do at the time with previous land cameras. It was the first camera to use Polaroid's new integral print film, which developed automatically without the help from a photographer. Although considered expensive, the SX-70 was quite popular through the 1970's & was used & praised by well-know photographers such as Ansel Adams, Andy Warhol & Walker Evans. Untested, this SX-70 is in very good physical condition, with only light markings to the dark tan leather like exterior. No chips, cracks, deep scratches anywhere & the folding mechanism works perfectly. The first ever instant SLR camera, that folds down to a generous pocket size, predating the camera phones we know today by almost 30 years.
