I'm not sure about SX70 shots, but I have successfully photographed
high-res color graphics monitors.  I use Kodachrome 64 and a 35/70mm
macro/zoom on my Canon A-1.  If and when you do this, make sure you have
no illumination other than the CRT itself, and that the shutter speed is
no faster than the CRT's refresh rate (otherwise you'll get lines going
down and across the frame.)  I let the A-1 measure the speed for me (isn't
technology wonderful?) but set the aperture to about 4.0.  A polarizing 
filter will help fight back reflections from the glass, although this problem
can be minimized by cutting out other light sources.

			Happy shooting,

			   Ted.
