Polaroid SX-70 Land Camera

Polaroid SX-70 Land Camera – Folding Instant Camera 

This is a Polaroid SX-70 Land Camera, one of the most iconic instant cameras ever made, known for its folding design, manual focus SLR system, and unique artistic image quality using Polaroid SX-70 film. It features a 4-element 116mm f/8 lens, true through-the-lens (TTL) viewing, and an automatic electronic exposure system.

However, this particular unit has broken slats (the folding bellows-style body panels), which affects its ability to fold and may compromise light sealing or full mechanical function. Otherwise, the camera is in good cosmetic condition and may be a candidate for repair or restoration.
