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.

I used to have an in-law who said "Boy that thing sure takes good pictures". He had no idea what a good picture looked like.

Bought at a carboot(flea maket) today...
Thought it would make a nice display item, I don't really need it to work, just want to have it for my collection...
Pentacon Praktica body M42 screw mount, Carl Zeiss Jenna 50/2.8, Photax Super Paragon 75-200/4.5 and Metz Mecablitz 302 BS speedlight... all for £20!!
It looks like it has been sit out and unused for quite a long time and the battery had died out...
Both lenses have some fungus in the elements, and the diaphragm of the Carl Zeiss is stuck but the Photax seems to be working fine....
A close inspection and to my my surprise, the Photax lens diameter is 52mm!!
Wuddaya know!! It would be a perfect fit for my Nikon reversal micro ring!!
Well, at least I still can use the lens for my micro...

Attic treasure. A very simple point-and-click camera. You can pick them up on eBay for less than 10 dollars. I think they make for nice decoration.
Redundant with my Hasselblad 500C/M, but I needed to own one ... that's it .....
It came with an extra lens, 2 sets of filters, the original case, the user manual, a Polaroid back ....
Just finished my fist test roll in my 1951 Nikon S Rangefinder with 50mm f1.4 lens. Happy with the results the images feel old.
This was my morning "wake up" call, my little dog Pearl, circa 1959. This is, obviously, a picture of a picture. But it was taken with my first "real" camera, an early Kodak 35 mm, with f. stop and depth of field rings on the lens, a shutter speed dial, a built in light meter, and a flash (bulb) attachment. I eventually gave it to my Mother who used it for 30+ years to take pictures of her doll collection. I have it packed away somewhere, but plan to get it out and run some 35 mm film through it while that is still available. Moral of the story: I have loved dogs and camera for a long time. Excuse the long missive!
