The film is a wonderful slice of nostalgia but it also contains some fascinating and detailed information on how these cameras work and the technology contained within them. Combine that with some lovely examples of images captured by the SX-70 and a few inspirational words about the art of photography and you have a film that almost effortlessly fires up your creativity.
A quick search reveals that a few bubblers are also fans of both Polaroid and the SX-70. Here are some of the gems we’ve discovered.
