                A Field Guide Understanding the SX-70 Family
                Learn the lineup Close

                Six folding cameras, nine years, a handful of naming conventions that can make the whole lineup feel like a puzzle. Here's how the pieces fit together.

                First, two generations

                Original-gen & Alpha-gen

                Polaroid released the SX-70 in 1972. Five years later, in 1977, they refined it with the Alpha 1 — adding strap lugs, a tripod socket, and a brighter viewfinder. Everything after is a variation on one of these two bodies.

                Then, two trim levels

                Premium & Model 2

                Within each generation, Polaroid offered a premium trim (chrome-plated metal body, real leather) and a budget trim called the Model 2 (plastic body, vinyl covering). The optics and mechanics are identical — only the shell differs.

                • 1972 Original
                • 1974 Model 2
                • 1977 Alpha 1 & Alpha 1 M2
                • 1978 Sonar
                • 1981 SLR 680
                1972 Premium

                SX-70 Original

                The first folding instant SLR. Chrome-plated body in real leather. Through-the-lens viewing, four-element glass lens.

                SX-70 Model 2

                Same camera inside, different jacket. Plastic body with vinyl covering. Shoots identically to the Original.

                SX-70 Alpha 1 Model 2

                Easy to mistake for a black Alpha 1, but different. All Alpha features, in a plastic-and-vinyl Model 2 body. Black on Black colorway.

                SLR 680

                The final folding evolution. Native 600 film, built-in electronic flash, sonar autofocus retained.

                Every folding SX-70 shares the same four-element glass lens and shutter — the variant you choose is a question of feel, finish, and feature set, not optical performance. Each one we sell is bench-tested, recalibrated, and backed by a six-month warranty.
