This is a vintage Polaroid SX-70 Land Camera

The SX-70 is a folding instant camera, first manufactured by Polaroid in 1972, with various upgrades and improved models produced until 1982

This model is the Sonar One Step BC Series first introduced in 1978

The Sonar One Step indicates that it has the ultrasonic rangefinder autofocusing system

The BC Series stands for the mix of a black body and a chrome faceplate and viewfinder, this is a much rarer version than the all chrome or all black cameras

The camera also features a flash socket on top of the Sonar panel, to accept a Polaroid SX-70 flash bar

The camera takes Polaroid SX-70 film packs, which are readily available in both black and white and colour

The camera has been partially tested, with a used film pack and it appears to be working, it takes power from the film cartridge and it ejects reloaded used film; the focusing system seams to work and the lens optics look clean
It has not been tested with new film

When the viewfinder pops up, there is a small gap between the concertina sections, I am mentioning this for accuracy, it will not effect functionality in any way (see side views photo 9)

The original leatherette covering has been replaced with a new embossed orange laser cut covering and the cosmetic condition of the camera body is very good for it's age, with only minor signs of use

An good example of a rare and sought after camera

Serial number: K91AP
