This is a genuine piece of vintage retro tech. It’s been called the greatest instant camera ever made, the pinnacle of the Polaroid folding line of cameras.
The SLR 680 was introduced in the 1980s and is the first and only folding SLR camera to combine the best features of 600 film, have a built-in flash and autofocusing mechanism. The autofocus mechanism (that big gold circle) uses actual sonar waves to focus on the subject matter, helping you get crisp photos each time. With the built-in flash, you can comfortably shoot in low-light environments. For a more hands-on approach, the autofocus mechanism and flash can be shut off. The SLR 680s also feature the tripod mount and strap brackets, making them the most versatile and decked-out of the Polaroid folding cameras.
Comes with or without Polaroid 600 film (choose the relevant option)
This camera is ever great for beginners and for experienced users seeking quick and simple to use instant camera with a touch of manual controls whenever you want it. You will find what you want in it - reliability and hard-wearing with its own unique style.
The camera is in good working order. The flash is not working and might need condenser or other electric part replacement (I'm not an electrician hence prefer not to intervene). Otherwise the camera works as it should and you can perfectly capture in normal light conditions or with external light like if you would have to shoot with the camera without flash. It has been tested with Polaroid battery pack. The camera gives retro prints and is great experience too! The camera is in good cosmetic condition with only leather patches been worn out and need replacement (approx. 25-30 pounds on Etsy, Amazon or Etsy). otherwise only minor signs of wear with fully intact plastic parts.
