Polaroid SX-70 Sonar - Black on Chrome
The SX-70 Sonar was introduced in 1978, six years after the release of the SX-70 Original. It's key feature is the circular sonar dish which sits above the lens; this dish produces actual sonar waves which communicate the focal distance to the camera. Decades later, this system remains shockingly fast, accurate, and incredibly fun to use.
The sonar auto-focus system can be disabled with the flick of a switch to allow for manual focus. This comes in handy especially when taking pictures through windows (the sonar ping will hit the glass and focus close-up!) or when making close-up portraits.
