Polaroid One Step Sonar Pronto Land Camera Autofocus SX-70

NOTE: This specific item comes with a carrying bag and the original paperwork with specifications and instructions. Also please note that the view finder rubber piece is missing, it can be replaced, however, this time will not come with it, the missing piece does not affect functionality.

Released in 1978 the Sonar Pronto camera is a really interesting edition, it takes the famous SX-70 film used in previous versions of the One Step (Rainbow, The Button, Pronto!, Etc).

It features a sonar (gold rounded in front) that acts as an autofocus device. When you press the shutter the sonar sends sonic waves to the central part of the scene and the bouncing waves that return to the sonar will determine the distance of the object and the compute inside the camera will adjust the camera to focus properly. You can also switch to manual focusing mode with a dial on top.

It also features a slot to attach a flash bar or device (not included) and is tripod ready.
