I have the auto focus version “sonar”. Not used for 20 years. I bought a fresh pack of film but had to open and close it a few times before it would eject the dark slide. It seems to be working great. There are free manuals online showing the correct way of using it. Grip the serrated part of the top section and do a quick snap pull up and it will open and lock into place fine. Read the advice the new Polaroid company give on shooting and using the current sx70 film to avoid bad shots etc. these are 40+ years old cameras and can have mechanical and electronic issues but there are a few specialist who can fix and bring them back to optimal functioning. Search internet - BFC, theinstantcameraguy, chromaticparts are recommended.

Great video. Very informative. I have a Sx70 Sonar with flash that my Aunt gave to me. She worked for Polaroid as a demonstrator and went all around New England to present them. She worked directly with Dr Land and Marriet Hartley ,the lady in the commercials. I will definitely keep Brooklyn film Company in mind for repairs and tune ups. Thanks for that. Btw your boy with the tats is smoking hott!🌺

Originally that sidebar was supposed to lock itself when you open the camera. Now that the cameras are a lot older it doesn't always work. It works on two of mine. The sonar autofocus SX-70 would be a better option for handing the camera to someone else to take a picture who's not really familiar with manual focus Polaroids. In either case the viewfinder does take some getting used to. The Instax camera is Loosely based on the old Kodak design it's just a lot smaller.

I recently got one that needed repairing, and I sent it to Dr. SX-70 in NM. He got it fixed for only $75 and got it back to me in less than a week. Super cool to see others having fun with their SX-70s too :)

I have one of these first generation ones as well, but the film door was broken when I got it. Definitely DON'T hold it by the door when unfolding! The little latch that keeps it closed is long and thin, so it doesnt take much to break it, and the only way to get a replacement is to rob one from another SX-70.

Glad to see people enjoying this camera! General tip: Polaroid film is sensitive to light the first 10-20 seconds after exposure. I always block the film with my hand while it comes out and quickly put it into my sling bag.

Glad you had fun with it 😁 That air bubble would send shivers down my spine though lol

Polaroid making again film in Netherlands !! Tour of the rebuilt factory on RUclips.

5/11/23 Your sx70 is one of the better models we had one at work to take pics, some of the latter SX70s were plastic on the parts, it is amazing that they still sell for good prices with the film is so expensive and hard to find. The neat part of the film pack is that it also contains a battery along with the film to run the camera. For me, the pics were slightly soft. Polaroid had an earlier model 80 folding camera ( Speed graphic styling) also well made the film was set up differently and was B/W and required to manually pull the film from the camera and then coating the finished photo to prevent the image from fading, the images were a lot sharper than the SX 70 and camera used a flash attachment with flash bulbs. The film I think is no longer available after Polaroid 80 came out in the 70s with easier-to-use film packs for the consumers' level cameras.

Fun video of peoples reactions. It’s actually medical plastic with chrome coating.

Hurt my eyes and Heart 😮

😊 well done. Continue

really enjoyed this vid :)

I have two of them my friend gave me for free. They were his dad's back in the day. One of them doesn't work. The other works but gets stuck sometimes. I get about 6 out of 8 good pictures out of the pack. Maybe I'll send them into be repaired someday.

I gave in and sent them my sx70 about two weeks ago. Been so excited and nervous waiting for it to get back!

I sent my SX-70 to them twice already. They put a pretty new skin on it but the camera still is inoperable. So i’d be weary before spending the money. Especially because they send a slip clarifying everything is “functioning” when it clearly wasn’t.

Homie almost cracked It in half! I was like “yoooo!!” Haha. Glad you’re having fun with It, I love mine. I have the Mint Flash Bar and it’s great. Definitely recommend. Also, while they develop, face them down.

The tiniest prick with a very thin pin, and then pushing out the trapped air with your finger, will get rid of the bubble under the sticker. :)

Just sent my Slr 680 to get restored by them! Can’t wait

My heart stopped beating when you tried to bend the camera lol!

This is quality content

Cool my dude

Still working for you with no issues?

Thanks I’ll get one to clean my miner.

I need a duster, wonder how this compares to the Xpower
