A landmark in photographic history, the SX-70 was the world's first folding single-lens reflex instant camera. Designed under Edwin Land's direction by Henry Dreyfuss Associates, it collapsed flat and used a revolutionary new integral film that developed automatically in daylight. The SX-70 system represented a decade of research and over $600 million in development.
