Rebuilt Polaroid SX70 Alpha Executive - Updated to use 600 Film Cartridges and Red Skins

This is a fully rebuilt SX70 Alpha Executive. Unique to the Alpha Executive line is the black body and well the red "Executive" on the print door. The Red skins are something I added.

After rebuilding this Polaroid SX-70, it has had it’s electronics updated for the use of 600 Style instant film from Polaroid Originals. Why would you want that update, keep reading:

The normal SX-70 uses the SX70 Style film, it is fine. But, the 600 film is much faster (and currently Polaroid Originals offers a lot of frame choices for the 600 line only). The need to use 600 film is why most people move from a SX-70 to the SLR680. The update only impacts the use of the camera without a flash. Working best in well lit areas, indoors and outdoors. When using a flash with this camera, the disposable flash bar is too bright for the 600 speed film so you should use a Mint Electronic Flash at 1/2 power.

The SX-70 Alpha Executive offers a famous package of features:
- You see exactly what your taking a picture of, the view finder looks through the front photo lens
- The manual focus dial will let you photograph items down to a foot out to infinity using a split circle alignment.
- The shutter auto adjusts from 1/175 second to 5+ seconds
- Auto aperture adjusts from f8 to f22.
- Glass lens is 116mm f8, 4 element

The Polaroid Originals film cartridges have a battery built in so there is no worries of leaking batteries or more things to buy.

This model has a built in tripod mount threaded hole and neck strap connectors.
