The camera was fully refurbished (ClA’d), cleaned, checked and film tested by lovely “The Instant Camera Guy”.
The camera has also been modified so that polaroid 600 film can be used in it. This has many advantages.
The 600 film is in my opinion the better film with more beautiful colors and contrast. It also offers higher iso that is often required.
It is also often more affordable than the SX-70 film.

The film used by this camera (Polaroid 600), is still produced by Polaroid.

Condition:
There are just a few signs of use.
Small scratches and marks.
Cleaned and clear viewfinder.
No fungus, no scratches, no fog and normal dust inclusions in the lens.
It has a split-image focus screen, for better focus control.

The camera has a 2 month warranty.

Please take a close look at the pictures.

Description

Polaroid is a traditional brand in the field of photography, which gained international popularity mainly through instant cameras and thus became the generic name for instant photography.
The SX-70 is a legendary folding single lens reflex camera which was produced by the Polaroid Corporation from 1972 to 1981. It uses SX-70 film.
Although various models were offered, all share the same basic design.
All SX-70 models feature a folding body design, a 4-element 116 mm f/8 glass lens, and an automatic exposure system known as the Electric Eye. The cameras allow for focusing as close as 26.4 cm and have a shutter speed range from 1/175 s to more than 10 seconds.
The first model had a plain focusing screen (the user was expected to be able to see the difference between in- and out-of focus) because Dr. Land wanted to encourage photographers to think they were looking at the subject, rather than through a viewfinder. When many users complained that focusing was difficult, especially in dim light, a split-image rangefinder prism was added in the second version.  (On this camera is a split-image focus screen installed.)
