I absolutely love these. They’re amazing, in aesthetic and functional design. They were the first folding single lens reflex (SLR) camera and the first SLR instant camera. They made them in several different finishes, but the brushed chrome and tan leather was stunning

The SX-70 Sonar (1978) was also the first autofocus SLR.

My aunt had one of those. I loved that thing. Now I gotta dig through my moms old photos. I may have a print from it. Shit, it almost hurts to say that was 45 years ago and I remember it
