At an annual company meeting in , Polaroid founder Edwin H. Land pulled an SX camera from his jacket pocket and introduced the world to the future of instant photography. Ten years later Polaroid took the best aspects of that camera, added in some key features and then converted it to use their film, creating what is widely regarded as one of the finest instant cameras ever made.

The SLR revolutionized upon these previous instant film drawbacks by utilizing a film that was self-contained and required absolutely no action to be taken by the photographer after clicking the shutter: The film would automatically eject, develop, and would be dry to the touch from beginning to end.
Imagine - in the age of darkrooms and film labs - when it was typical to have to wait days to see your pictures, being able to skip all of that entirely and see an image completely develop in your hands within minutes!
We find something interesting… Almost 50 years later, SLR photography still holds this magic as potently as ever. This camera was a mastery of engineering, made the most beautiful instant-images of it's time, and remains notorious and widely used today because of these properties. Our SLR 's have been completely restored in-house, are fitted with fresh new leather coverings, and come with a comprehensive 1-year warranty.

This will let the camera collapse into it self. Unlike unfolding, it will do most of the work itself. The camera is off and good to be stored. When Edwin Land originally designed the folding Polaroid SLR, the camera folded up into a compact size small enough to fit in a large coat pocket.
Unfortunately, the giant autofocus and flashbar that was grafted onto the later era SLR causes it to fold into a elongated and fragile shape that makes it difficult to store and carry. For this reason, I highly recommend buying a dedicated case like the one Polaroid Originals sells.

Remove the old pack of film if there is one by pulling it out by the tab attached to the cartridge. Insert a new pack of film by pushing it in through the same slot. As soon as it locks into place, the camera should eject a darkslide out the front.
This lets you know that the film pack works, and the camera is ready to go. The default position for the exposure wheel when opening the camera. You control exposure and flash through two switches. To adjust exposure compensation, turn it to white to make the image brighter, or turn it to black to make it darker. What the exposure compensation wheel looks like when adjusted. Every time you close and reopen the camera, the exposure compensation will be set back to its default middle position.
SLRs are much, much more accurate to frame a composition with, and you can also tell exactly whether or not your subject is in focus. Looking through the viewfinder, press down halfway on the shutter to focus.
