That's right. Check out the Polaroid SLR670m, restored by MiNT (and maybe modernized a bit). What you'll get is a restored-to-factory SX-70, updated with 16 new settings and manual controls. Some of you remember the old Polaroids, admit it. After The Spinners, Barbie Benton and the 1973 Challenger, the Polaroid camera was probably the best thing to come out of the 70s. Says Photojojo, who just announced the retro-modern camera, “The magic lies in the Time Machine, which integrates seamlessly with the body of the SLR670m. It transports the camera through the decades with manual controls allowing for fast shutter speeds, long exposure modes and even an auto mode. You can finally have clear instant prints of fast action, like your pet hamster running around the cardboard city you created. Take long exposures of cityscapes and admire your print within minutes. No more wondering ‘what if?' Now you can focus in on the big questions, like ‘where to?' and ‘are you gonna eat that?'” Not familiar with Photojojo? They've to some pretty sweet stuff in stock (and not all of it is over $600). Check 'em out online or here on Facebook. MiNT is apparently based in Hong Kong – it might even be these guys. 116mm f/8 lens; f8 to f22 aperture Manual focus: 10″ to infinity 12 Shutter speeds from 1/2000-1s 2 Long exposure modes: B(ulb) and T(ime) Auto mode has been improved with an updated electric eye Off mode to ensure your film isn't accidentally used Uses Impossible film (any flavor!) or expired Polaroid SX-70 film No need for ND filters Battery power is integrated into the film packs, so the camera itself doesn't need batteries Original cameras were produced circa 1972-1977 Fully restored to its original, iconic, glory No refunds. If your camera is faulty, they'll replace it; they promise.
