Reply to comment by kgunnar in TIL The SX 70 Land, released in 1972, was the first instant camera to use automatic-developing integral film, meaning no waste to clean up, as all process chemicals are permanently stored in the print by Ok_Copy5217

Which would be over $1400 in 2022 dollars.

could you have bought a pro camera for that cost back then? since instant film isn't meant to be professional studio quality

Nikon F2 was $660 w normal lens in 1972. So not really.

There was Polaroid and later Fuji instant film that was studio quality. I used a lot of it.
