The Keystone Wizard XF 1000 made in the mid 1970’s is one of the few cameras to use Polaroid SX-70 instant film without being manufactured by Polaroid. It was apparently produced without a licensing agreement with the Polaroid Corporation. It was also released by German distributor Porst as the Porst Magic 500.
Compared to the folding SX-70 or the tapered OneStep and Pronto! models, the Keystone looks especially boxy. It uses a plastic 115mm f/8.8 lens. Focusing is done by rotating a ring around the lens using a guess focusing system. Exposures are with an electric eye and can be adjusted by a lighten darken wheel. For flash it uses bulbs via a flash bar socket. A film counter is on the right hand side of the body. A tripod socket is included on the base which also has a quick instructional usage guide.
This one appears to be in very good all round cosmetic condition. I am selling this as ‘untested’ because I do not have any SX-70 film to test it with and nor do I know how to test it without probably breaking it! At the very least this is an amazing display piece for the serious instant camera collectors out there who are looking for something a bit different and quirky.
The lens is free from fungus, mould, hazing and scratches.
Comes with its original case, instruction booklet and all important box. You’ll be extremely hard pushed to find another example like this that is so complete. Often parts of this were lost or destroyed e.g. the box.
Serial Number: 16061.
