      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

      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.
