Polaroid One Step Autofocus

Not to be confused with the earlier One Step that used SX-70 film, or the later rounded body 670AF, the Polaroid One Step Autofocus (with curved corners) was part of a new generation of models (circa 1997) in Polaroid's 600-series. They can be distinguished from the fixed focus models of this type, by the lack of a close-up adaptor. See Polaroid One Step (curved corners). This fairly rare camera is usually found in a black casing, but see the equivalent models below.
