Return of the SX-70

SX-70

 

It’s back!  The poor SX-70 that was taken so very ill on our first morning in Marrakesh….and languished in my suitcase for the rest of the trip….is now cured and acting like a happy camera again.

After returning from Morocco, I packed it off to the States to the nice man from whom I originally bought it (it’s one well-travelled camera).  Roger is a Polaroid doctor and, within 24 hours, he’d lovingly restored the poor thing to health.

Now it’s home and raring to go.  The SX-70 – get this - now opens and shuts (a very good start).  I can see through the viewfinder again (kind of useful).  And, best of all, it actually shoots pictures!

There’s a stash of film in the fridge that’s been to Africa and back.  Time to use it.
