Mark's Polaroid Swinger Page
This was the first model camera I ever got, a Christmas present. The film cost way too much for my paltry allowance, so I didn't use it much. Paid $12 at a thrift shop.They cost $20 new back in the 60's, shot black and white only, had no focus adjustments and a fixed shutter. The aperture was adjustable be squeezing the red knob and turning till you saw "yes" in the viewfinder. It did have AAA batteries, and a built-in flash. I was thrilled. Nobody has made film available for this in decades. I saw a video showing how to load it with 35mm film in a darkroom, after modifying the camera. I just wanted to have it back, and maybe someday they'll start making the film again. There are lots of these in thrift shops dirt cheap.
