I have pulled out my black SX70 from the dust bin, and presently testing out the unit as well as the new films.
My questions centers on focusing: for those who are familiar with the SX, what is your recommendation for camera to subject in feet--close up facial portraits?
Is there a test one would recommend for "testing" the accuracy of the Polaroid camera lens? as I question its accuracy. Has there been issues regarding "accuracy" of the lens? Is there a history of "softness"? Suggestions on obtaining accuracy???
I understand re-furbrishing can be done on these cameras?? from the Denver area, what would be the closest center and approx $$$ amt?

Sure you are getting lot's of replies.
In reply of your Question,
I have a few SX70's, some brand new in the box. Lovely vintage...
The SX70 is a kind of SLR instant camera, so you can judge sharpness in the view finder and try out how close you can get.
I don't think the lens will be the limiting factor in sharpness, but the available film. As far I know it is the in Holland made Impossible film which is on the market now. It's pretty crappy pola. If you want sharp pola's, get yourself a fuji Instax and enjoy the far more superior Instax cours and sharpness.
