The whole back is the viewfinder. It's ground glass.

Polaroid IS back.... ever heard of The Impossible Project?

The Polaroid factory here in the Netherlands is producing film as we speak!

Have fun with the SX 70 ;-)

someone said POLOROID IS GONNA GET BACK TO MAKING FILM FOR CAMS AGAIN LIKE THE X-70---ETC. I HOPE SO---A FRIEND GAVE ME THREE X-70s today----but he says currently some other company makes film at 50-60 bucks for the ten shot pack---way high priced-----and someone said FUJI still makes the type film for X 70 MAYBE IT'S CHEAPER??? I DUNNO

so does most 4x5 cameras take polaroid holders and normal 4x5 sheet film holders?

haha ajaime2008. You are joking right? As long as a camera doesn't have any light leaks, the only thing that effects the final image is the lens. I use a Speed Graphic because I usually only need front tilt and Caltar 150mm f/5.6 because it's cheap. You really can't tell the difference between that setup and a Linhof Technica with a Super Symmar XL 150mm f/5.6.

Awesome clip!  Helped me explain to my friends why my camera weighs 30lbs.
