Polaroid SX-70

Amid the 5/20/13 "Flickrpocalypse", I forgot to do a writeup on my third one-that-I'm-keeping SX-70 (I've owned seven, total) that I got a few days beforehand...

 

DOB: 8/10/76

 

This variant of the SX-70 has the original chassis (without the tripod or neckstrap mounts of the 1978-released Alpha 1's), but has the split-circle rangefinder, distance numbers on the lens, and newer silver plastic that doesn't have the "brushed steel" look of the very-first model. It's pretty mint and came with the nice-but-clumsy Eveready leather case that opens-up with the camera (I never use them that way, though; I fear I'm going to break the viewfinder "blinds" when I open it because it sometimes snags.)

 

This one was a gift from a lady that used to work in the snackbar at work, it belonged to her grandfather. She brought it in for me to identify and see if it would work (oh yes it did), and a few months later ended up giving it to me when she went off to school (thanks!).
