Vintage 1978 Polaroid SX-70 ALPHA 1 Instant Camera withStrap, Manual, Case, Flash Bar
We offer for your consideration this vintage Polaroid instant camera. This is a Polaroid "SX-70 Alpha 1" Instant camera with a Polaroid branded #116 compartment-ed case with shoulder strap, Original manual, Accessories brochure, Flash bar, and strap for the camera. This camera is in very clean condition, and when we pulled the old film pack and reinserted it, the camera came alive, there must have been just enough energy left in the spent film pack to activate the camera.
The only issue we could find was evidence of an impact on the front corner of the camera. (See picture) There is some slight cracking of the surface, but it is mostly cosmetic. In the world of instant photography this Polaroid SX-70 Alpha 1 is kind of the Holy Grail. It was the first instant camera that also used integral film. The camera was first introduced in 1972.
The Alpha 1 had a few extra design features, they include. Integral camera strap lugs (camera strap is included). A threaded tripod socket on the bottom of the camera.
A matte finish on the metal frame of the camera body. SX-70's were the 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. If you are a collector/photographer who loves the whole Polaroid concept, this beautiful SX-70 Alpha 1 will be a wonderful, and useful, addition to your collection.
