Polaroid SX-70 Land Camera Alpha Model 1

The Polaroid SX-70 Land Camera Alpha Model 1 is an instant film folding SLR introduced in the 1970s. It uses Polaroid's integral SX-70 film and folds flat into a compact body when not in use, positioning it as a higher-tier consumer instant camera at launch.

Sales data for this specific Alpha Model 1 variant is limited, with one recorded UK auction hammer result of £56 in 2023 — a wholesale saleroom level rather than a retail price. As of today in 2026, what an SX-70 Alpha Model 1 sells for at auction depends heavily on cosmetic condition and whether the leatherette and bellows are intact, so this single data point should be treated as indicative rather than a reliable median.
