          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

          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.
