                            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.

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

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

                            The refinement. Original design plus strap lugs, tripod socket, and a brighter matte viewfinder.

                            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.

                            The first-ever autofocus SLR. Ultrasonic transducer measures distance with sound waves. Works in total darkness.

                            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.
