The SX-70 backs are quite expensive. They weren't cheap when Polaroid was still making them and now they fetch collector prices. The price is comparable to the price, new, of a Polaroid 545i back. If you're going to build a camera around a Polaroid back, the 545 is better than the SX-70 because it takes a wide variety of film (b&w and color) with speeds from 100 to 3000 (yes, three thousand!) and is about twice the size of the SX-70 prints. Polaroid peel apart films are also quite a bit sharper than the integral films.
