Mint's Sharpa Lens Aims to Fix the SX-70's Biggest Weakness

If you shoot SX-70 and have ever blamed the lens for your soft results — you were right, and Mint Camera knows it. The Sharpa is a purpose-built replacement optic for a camera whose original glass was never really designed for critical sharpness. Niche? Absolutely. But for the growing number of serious film photographers running SX-70s, a sharper lens could meaningfully change what the format is capable of — especially for portraiture where that dreamy blur crosses into just plain soft.
