Best looking....

CAMERA?

I'd just like to take a moment to state that i think the Polaroid SX-70 is the best looking camera ever invented. Its beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeoooooooooootiful.

What do you guys think? Do you agree or not? Or can you think of one better looking?

Aint got nothing on the 350D! best looking camera ive seen, heh if I were single...

I agree with ya Spanky!! They're even more beautiful to shoot with.

I don't know guys. There's just something romantic and sexy about a Yashica TLR. :drool:

any chance of accompanying propsed votes with images?

Personally the Rollei gets me going, but since we don't have one (though we do have a Yashica TLR!) I have to settle for looking at the SX-70 at home

photogoddess · Jul 20, 2005

Well, I was thinking Rollei myself but since I have a Yashica, it seemed a better pick this morning. There's also some romance to shooting my Rolleiflex SL35 (German - of course) but I know it's probably just me because it's exactly like my first real camera. Might be the Zeiss glass though. :drool:

I love the SX-70, too! I have two of them; one is a twin of yours up there, Captain.

When you start reading about it and learn how Edwin Land was thinking when he designed it, it's nothing short of a miracle. In fact, I think I came across something in my reading where Ansel Adams referred to it as "an absolute miracle". He is one of my photographic heros. :lovey:

Dr. Land, I mean.

Makes it all the more beautiful to behold. Plus, they're just freaking FUN! :lol:

Nikon F, with the non-metered prism. Started a revolution! Every F model then D series since just improved upon a great body, but none nearly as sexy!

I've got an SX-70 which is quite striking...you have got to love that built-in leather-ish paneling and when it's folded....it doesn't look anything like a camera.

There is something about the way a nice old view camera looks...but I also drool all over my 20D.
