Polaroid I-2 review: the finest instant camera you will ever use

Polaroid I-2 camera being used by photographer James Artaius.

The Polaroid I-2 sounded like a dream camera for me. As a lifelong fan (I literally took my first Polaroid when I was three years old!), the idea of a Polaroid with full manual control and a glass lens was something I've wanted for decades. The question in my brain was, could this possibly live up to the mighty SX-70 and Spectra? 

Ab. So. Lutely. The Polaroid I-2's glass lens is officially "the sharpest-ever Polaroid lens", and its wide f/8 maximum aperture matches that of the beloved SX-70. Better yet, if you can find some, it can even shoot on SX-70 film – Polaroid's premium stock.
