 This camera was one of the first using Kodak film and was really cheap, 10cents of dollar, at that time....

There is still the original film. inside..to take popular big size photo 4 x 5 inch (10 x 12.6 cm)

Special thanks to Mr.P.P .who found it for me..

Polaroid SX-70

Polaroid SX-70 is my favorite polaroid for a long time...

I love the Design , the Mechanics and the fact of being a Reflex...

Arrived to the market in 70's it was well received by people who were stunished  with the fact to have the photo just in time in an elegant inox/leather finished

Today I get it out  from the shelf , and it's "breading" again

Many thanks to "Impossible Project "

Photographer Pierre Joseph Rossier

Adrenaline mounts every time I find a treasure from nothing. After buy  several stereo-views from Japan , 3 of them where from early days in China. Looking in my books , the surprise arrived...

The edition is from the British editor Negretti & Zambra and the photographer was the Swiss  - PIERRE JOSEPH ROSSIER - , considered the  pioneer  of the photography in Asia.

Some of these stereograph belongs to the 1^st set “ VIEWS IN CHINA”  ( 50 photos) published by Negretti & Zambra, in 1859.
