Vintage Polaroid SLR 680 Instant Camera- Tested and working! Looks fantastic for its age. Snaps up and locks as it should. Bellows looks good, viewer looks good.

Shows some wear and use but to be expected. The world's first folding SLR camera ever engineered and the world's first instant camera to use integral film. Prior to the innovation of integral film, instant film development had to be carefully timed, the positive and negative manually separated, a coating of chemistry would sometimes need to be spread over the positive, and prints would take several minutes to dry.

The SLR 680 revolutionized upon these previous instant film drawbacks by utilizing a film that was self-contained and required absolutely no action to be taken by the photographer after clicking the shutter: The film would automatically eject, develop, and would be dry to the touch from beginning to end. This innovation was nothing short of absolute magic to the eyes of the public when it was released in 1972. Imagine - in the age of darkrooms and film labs - when it was typical to have to wait days to see your pictures, being able to skip all of that entirely and see an image completely develop in your hands within minutes! Almost 50 years later, SLR 680 photography still holds this magic as potently as ever.

SLR 680's are top of the line Polaroids, featuring a strong metal body, a tack sharp 116mm f/8 lens, a short 10.4 inch minimum focal distance, a shutter speed range from 1/175s to 10-seconds, an exposure control wheel, and fully manual focus. This camera was a mastery of engineering, made the most beautiful instant-images of it's time, and remains notorious and widely used today because of these properties.
