"Meet the Swinger ... The Polaroid Swinger ..." Vintage Polaroid Swinger Camera Model 20 It was 50-years ago this month that the famed Polaroid Corporation introduced the Swinger Camera into the market An article that appeared in 'The Boston Globe' explains that it had to do with lagging sales and popularity of black-and-white film, which Polaroid had a ton of. " ...and the pictures were less than a quarter the size of a 4×6 print. You had to coat them, using a swab of liquid goop included with each pack of film, lest they fade to a silvery brown ..." And, another bonus of The Swinger's debut, was the television commercial, featuring a soon-to-be-Million-Watt-famous Ali McGraw, romping around, shooting photos; I don't believe film is available for this any longer (you can check The Impossible Project in the future, as they are currently not producing it). However, if you want a piece of history, or, nostalgia, if you collect old cameras, old Polaroids, then focus your lens and stuff this in your camera bag.
