POLAROID SX70 CLASSIC 1970s INSTANT CAMERA

  

The SX 70 was designed by Henry Dreyfus and. Examples of its revolutionary design can be found in design museums the world over. It took the fancy of artists such as Ansel Adams, Andy Warhol and David Hockney and was used extensively by fashion/glamour photographers like Helmut Newton. It is considered as "the King of Polaroids".

This one has a with a split-image focussing screen. This model also has real leather panel inserts, unlike the tacky plastic on later versions. Cosmetically the camera is very presentable.

It clearly hasn't been used much judging from the lack of any of the usual sticky film debris on the rollers, and the lack of any dings or scratches on the metallised surfaces. There are some tiny marks and depressions on the surfaces of the leather panels, but these do not really show in the photos and you have to get in close to see anything. The'bellows' and the folding viewfinder shutters are in excellent condition with no light leaks. There is a film loaded with 3 shots left on it for you too try. I have tried to give an accurate description of this camera, but please examine the photo's carefully and make your own mind up about the condition. Any questions - please ask.
