When the protagonist received the Polaroid SX-70 as a gift, she says, "It's the camera that Ansel Adams and Walker Evans used." Both Adams and Evans used large format cameras, predominately 8x10" film cameras for their work and their well-known work was done several decades before the SX-70 camera was introduced. Those large cameras are virtually on the opposite end of the camera spectrum and they had no automation and required a deep understanding of the photographic process, film development and printing to use. If either photographer ever used an SX-70, it was in their old age and was just to "play" with it. Also, both photographers were virtually retired by the time the SX-70 camera was introduced. In addition, when receiving the camera, the protagonist said that it was only made for one or two years in the 1970s. Actually, the SX-70 was in production from 1972 to 1981 (10 years).
