Polaroid Swinger Model 20
|
Typical elements of simple box cameras were combined in the Polaroid Swinger Model 20: a non-focusable meniscus lens, a simple rotary single-speed shutter (1/200 sec.), and last not least roll film as media.
Other features were a telescopic viewfinder, an AG-1 flash-bulb socket hidden behind the meter window, and a red aperture control thumb wheel around the long shutter release button, combined with a flash range scale. A simple meter controlled feature was the sign "YES" that appeared in the finder when light and aperture were sufficient.
It was an early one of the very cheap instant camera models of Polaroid, made from 1965 to 1970 in the USA and England. The earlier version was made in the US, with additional "NO" sign in the finder for insufficient light situations.
