Despite taking dozens of pictures on my iPhone 15 Pro Max on an average day, I’ve always loved the novelty of printed images. I bought my first instant camera for cheap from Urban Outfitters when I was in college, and since then, I’ve amassed quite the collection of printed photos meant to replicate the product Polaroid popularized in the 1970s.
But I recently learned about Retrospekt, a company that actually sells the very Polaroid SX-70 camera that made instant photography mainstream. While Polaroid itself sells refurbished SX-70s, they’re perpetually out of stock. Alternatively, Retrospeck has 16 different SX-70 styles available to shop now starting from $379 and going up to $999 for a special gold-plated version.
