The Porst Magic 500 Instant Film Camera is one of the only cameras ever made that uses Polaroid SX-70 film without actually being manufactured by Polaroid. Released by German camera company Porst in the mid-’70s, the Magic 500 was allegedly produced without a licensing agreement with Polaroid. The same camera was released in the U.S. by Keystone under the name Wizard XF1000. This boxy camera is very rare, making it a great collector’s piece!

This is a genuine piece of vintage technology refurbished and restored by Retrospekt.
Their perfect blend of form and function may be ageless, but to make sure everything works like new, the team at Retrospekt carefully refurbishes every Polaroid camera by hand from the inside out. Each camera is cleaned, serviced and tested to ensure complete functionality for another lifetime of use.
This camera has experienced decades of life before finding its way to Retrospekt. As such, it will show some signs of past use. However, we are extremely picky about the condition of the cameras we restore and the parts we select for the repair process. The end result is an excellent vintage restoration that is guaranteed to work properly. Should any questions arise, we have a team of friendly people ready to help you.
This camera is covered by the Retrospekt Refurbished guarantee. Find more information about our90-day limited warranty.
