Polaroid SX-70

This is the original model, evidenced by the markings on the lens (opposed to the focusing scale found on the later models), but had gone through the upgrade to feature the split-circle rangefinder. Picked it up for pretty cheap at a resale store, but unfortunately it was plagued with problems - which I gave up trying to fix when the front shutter cover broke (which I will remind everyone that no-matter how much you think it looks like metal, it's plastic). The early models have four screws holding the front cover on, the later models just snap-on.

 

I sold it on eBay to Mint - which I believe is Impossible's Japanese dealer.
