About the Product
The Polaroid SX-70 is for the ultimate analog enthusiast. The first instant SLR (single lens reflex) camera ever made and the first to use the Polaroid instant film we know today. Its manual controls and low film speed make it a go-to for artists and dreamers alike.
The 600 series is a landmark chapter in Polaroid history – the moment instant photography became as easy as pushing a button. From boxy, '80s models to fluid, '90s versions, each camera tells a story about late-20th century design, while a number of weird and wonderful special editions cemented the 600 as a pop culture icon.
