Polaroid SX-70

The Polaroid SX-70 system, introduced in 1972, was the first folding SLR instant camera with integral film that developed automatically after ejection. Its distinctive color palette and the ability to manipulate the emulsion while it developed made it a tool for both amateur and artistic photography.
