        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.

        1977 Model 2

        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.

        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.
