For those interested in quick photography (and even many who are not), the poleoid SX -70 is an icon. And now, the Chinese manufacturer 10art.cc aims to introduce a modern tech on foldable instant camera. Pocket fold 66 promises compact instant photography reminiscent of classic poleroid camera.
For those who are unfamiliar, the poleroid SX-70 is a folding, single-lens reflex instant camera created by Poroid from 1972 to 1981. It turns into a flat rectangle and pop up when it is time to take photos. The original model was only a manual focus, although a later model had Sonar autofocus.

In Its announcement post10art.CC says it was inspired by SX-70 because due to its portability and image quality. The company first released an instant film back for a standalone camera module, pre -addressing quality, subsequent offering portability along with Hasselblad cameras. However, neither the device satisfied the company’s discovery for both in a package.
Pocket Fold 66 aims to address both the company’s goals on the same camera, as SX-70. However, it makes it clear that it is not a replica of Classic SX -70. “Please note, this is not a replica; it’s a re -construction,” said in the declaration. “We have only retained its folding structure, as this is the only way to achieve excessive compactness. I appreciate Dr. Land’s easily. Honor!”
The details are limited, but 10art.CC says it “optimize all components and re -designs the entire optical system, electronic system and mechanical transmission system.”

The company says the pocket fold 66 will be an optical viewfinder, automatic metering and a foldable instant camera with EV adjustment. It will have a 110 mm F5.6 lens facility, although 35 mm equivalent has not been provided. The lens will allegedly provide the ability to focus on the macro capacity and 15 cm (5.9 “to infinity. The camera is actually quite compact, apparently 16 x 10 x 10 x 4.5 cm (6.3 x 3.9 x 1.8”) below. For comparison, the original SX-70 measured 18.4 x 10.2 x 2.5cm (7.25 x 4 x 1 “).
10art.CC also states that the camera will have an underlying rechargeable lithium battery. This claims that the camera will use “Poles Polyoid Square Photo Paper”. This is a bit surprising, as most non-polyoid instant cameras-like Folding model ttartisan announced At the beginning of this year – use the InstAx film, which is more inexpensive and easy to find.
Currently there is no value or estimated availability date, but the announcement in the announcement says 2025. We may be able to expect more information at the end of this year, then.
