Polaroid Swinger Model 20

1960's polaroid camera

Typical elements of simple box cameras were combined in the Polaroid Swinger Model 20: a non-focusable meniscus lens (Polaroid f/17 100 mm), a simple rotary single-speed shutter (1/200), and last not least roll film as media, the first type of roll film for exposures which had to be pulled out of the camera to be developed in the light. The Polaroid films were very fast (ISO 640).

Other features were a telescopic viewfinder, an AG-1 flash-bulb socket with reflector 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 window under the finder ocular 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 in England. Its earliest version was made in the US, with additional "NO" sign for insufficient light situations.
