The classic rainbow SX-70, it was loaded with my last pack of PX100 UV+. It garnered a lot of attention with plenty of people exclaiming "I haven't seen one of those in years!" or "I recognize that sound!" and my favourite "How can you still use that? Polaroid doesn't make instant film anymore"

SX-70 Sonar Onestep, Poraloid 600 @ George St, Sydney, Australia
Well, I am happy to upload the first photo that I took in Australia.
Yep !!! I visited Sydney, Australia, for the first time. It was actually for business mainly, but over the weekend, off course, I went to a city area with several of my favorite cameras. By accident, I met this dog on the main street, so on the spot, I took some photos of him with his lovely smile to me. It was one of the most exciting moments over there !!!
The SX-70 is a folding single lens reflex Land Camera first produced by the Polaroid Corporation in 1972. It was the first instant SLR in history, and the first camera to use Polaroid's new integral print film, which developed automatically without the need for intervention from the photographer.
The SX-70 has a folding body design, a 4-element 116mm f/8 glass lens, and an automatic exposure system. The camera allows manual focus as close as 10.4 inches (26.4cm), and has a shutter speed range from 1/175s to more than 10 seconds. This makes the camera incredibly versatile, and it can be used in pretty much any situation, from portraits to long exposure photographs.
This type of SX-70 is a "SONAR Onestep". Quite literally it is one of the best model of SX-70 cameras available.
The main feature of this amazing model is its AUTOMATIC FOCUSING system. When the shutter button is pressed halfway, a series of ultrasonic chirps is emitted from an electrostatic transducer located under a gold plate above the lens. These chirps travel to the subject and bounce back to the camera’s receiver, alerting the camera to the subject’s distance, and the lens is turned via a motor to focus accordingly.
Don't think for a second that this automatic focusing is gimmicky! Simply put, its one of the most accurate automatic focusing systems ever made, and will outperform most new digital SLRs. It can focus from infinity down to 26cm in under 1 second!
Of course, you can over-ride the auto-focus and focus manually with the touch of a button if you want to.
The SONAR SX-70 models also features a tripod socket as well as a neck strap, to make the camera more portable to carry around. Most standard SX-70 models did not have these features.
This particular model is the rare "BC Series" version. The BC Series was the name designated to cameras specially branded for sale at USA K-Mart stores. Although we do not think of K-Mart as a very serious brand these days, back in the 70's K-Mart was actually quite heavily involved with photography, selling many lenses, cameras and flashes under the brand name "Focal". It differed from standard models in its color scheme, which featured a mix of both black and chrome look panels and a unique, grippy pebbled rubber leatherette.
Sadly though the original rubber leatherette does not usually stand the test of time, and most BC Series coverings crumble away in your hands. The original leather on this camera was crumbling away, so I replaced the original covering with genuine pebbled black cowhide leather, to give it the luxurious finish it deserves while maintaining the originality of the color scheme.

I did a review about the Polaroid Originals OneStep 2. Check out the full camera review here: 🎬 youtu.be/-B-JTcqzQeo
We may have better cameras for taking photos with than this but it's such a nice looking little camera that Bela and I bought it anyway, from the same Value Village where I purchased the old Kodachrome slides.

NOT FOR SALE
Alongside the 'prosumer' range of folding SLRs, Polaroid released a large number of plastic bodied, non-folding consumer cameras that used the SX-70 integral film. There were several lines that varied in the type and amount of features they offered, but fall into three distinct categories differentiated by the method of focusing:
Fixed focus - Generally known (in the US) as OneStep models
Zone-focused - Generally known (in the US) as Pronto! models; e.g. Pronto RF
Sonar Autofocus - Labelled as both Pronto! and OneStep models, but usually with an AF or Sonar moniker.
All these models use the SX-70 integral film, meaning the camera is powered by a battery built into the film pack. Many of these models were able to use certain accessories designed for the folding SLR line of SX-70 cameras, such as flashbars, electronic flashes and tripod mounts.
The Land Camera 1000 is a foreign-markets version of the original Onestep model, meaning it has a fixed focus plastic lens. The model 1000 or original OneStep models are distinguished among the range in that they were made available with 2 different coloured shutter buttons - either green or red; there is some debate among collectors as to which was more common. A matching electronic flash was also released for the Onestep/1000 model, known as the Q-Light. It fits onto any SX-70 non-folding camera model, but was cosmetically matched to the original models. Features common to the series of OneStep non-folding, fixed-focus SX70-series integral film cameras are:
1 element plastic lens with fixed aperture (103mm, f14.6)
4ft minimum focus distance.
Exposure compensation dial around electric eye.

Proud owner and a beautiful motorcycle. Shot with Polaroid SX-70 Land Camera Sonar OneStep and PX 70 Impossible Film (batch 12/11).
Taken with the Pronto!B using Limo Dark window tint over the film pack as a filter. It worked pretty well...aside from the crinkles...kinda like how it looks though

This particular model is the rare "SE" version. It differs from the standard Sonar models in that it features a sleek black body and blue shutter button. The "SE" stands for "Special Edition". For those wondering what was so "special" about the SE, back in the day it came with extended warranty.

The very popular Polaroid OneStep Rainbow.. Sure looks good but not really a great camera because of its 4ft. minimum focusing distance..

It differed from standard models in its color scheme, which featured a mix of both black and chrome look panels and brown leatherette.
The Sears Special was originally covered in a cheap "porvair" vinyl leatherette. This was removed and the camera was reskinned with genuine brown cowhide.
