Summary
Polaroid Super Swinger camera, a rigid plastic bodied instant camera. This camera was only capable of black and white photos with an ISO of 3000. Correct exposure was enabled via a curious twisting motion on the shutter button. A checkerboard would reveal the word YES when the correct amount of light was registered by the electric eye. Film type: Peel-apart 80-Series Land Pack Films (3 1/4" x 3 3/8", image=2 3/4" x 2 7/8"). Black and white type 87 (ISO 3000) was recommended. Accepts AG-1 flashbulbs. Shutter requires two standard 1.5V AA batteries. Manual distance focus of the plastic meniscus lens. (Not coupled to viewfinder). Solid plastic wrist strap.
