Instant Revolution

摘要

The Polaroid SX-70 was an amateur photographer's dream: a pocket camera that could produce vivid, durable color photos nearly instantly. When Popular Science reviewed the collapsible 1.5-pound camera in January 1973, we called it "the most fiendishly clever invention in the history of photography" and praised Polaroid founder Edwin H. Land as the creator of "a pocketful of miracles." The single-lens reflex camera, along with its self-developing, mess-free film, would soon gain a cult following that included Ansel Adams and Andy Warhol.
