The SX-70 is a folding Land Camera produced between 1972 and 1977. It was the first instant SLR in history, and the first camera to use Polaroid's new integral print film, which developed automatically without the need for intervention from the photographer. This was revolutionary at the time, and a precursor to the later 600 and Spectra films.

The Polaroid CU-5 is a professional fixed focus camera designed for close-up photography. The Tominon 1:4.7 f127 lens, app 4.7-45, is housed in an unnamed (possibly Copal Polaroid) shutter, with speeds from 125th to 1 second, plus 'B' and 'T' settings, with cable release.
The lens has a built in ring flash and PC socket. The removable Polaroid type 100 film back has a built in darkslide and an accessory shoe. Extension tubes could be fitted between the lens unit and the film back. The film back has a tripod socket designed to fit the dedicated pistol grip.
The aperture and shutter speeds are hidden from the user underneath a cover marked '5" Polaroid CU-5'. This cover has two settings, for 100 and 3000 ISO films. Opening this cover shows all the aperture and shutter speed settings, as well as the cable release; the shutter release is a trigger-like lever on the bottom of the lens unit.
To operate the ring flash the optional power pack is needed.
