Polaroid SX-70 PolaSonic AF
The Polaroid SX-70 PolaSonic AF is a folding instant camera using SX-70 integral film, part of the SX-70 family Polaroid produced from the 1970s into the 1980s. It added sonar autofocus to the original folding SLR concept, positioning it above the manual-focus SX-70 models when new.
Auction data for the SX-70 PolaSonic AF is thin: a single UK saleroom hammer result of £110 from 2023 is the only verified data point we hold, so today's value guidance should be treated as indicative rather than a settled market. Hammer prices in the wider folding SX-70 family tend to be condition-led, and a working PolaSonic AF with clean leatherette and a functioning sonar module would be expected to sell for a similar figure at auction, though commission and retail dealer mark-ups sit on top.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Polaroid SX-70 PolaSonic AF worth today?
On the limited UK auction evidence we have, a PolaSonic AF sold for £110 hammer in 2023; clean working examples would be expected to sell for a broadly similar price, though the sample is too small to quote a firm range.
How much does a Polaroid SX-70 PolaSonic AF sell for at auction?
The only verified UK hammer result in our records is £110, so that figure is the best current reference for value at saleroom level, before commission.
What should I check before buying one?
Confirm the sonar autofocus actuates, test film ejection with a fresh pack, and inspect the leatherette and bellows for lifting or splits, as these are the most common faults.
