The SWC puts a Carl Zeiss Biogon 38mm f/4.5 on a body with no mirror and no reflex finder, because the Biogon's rear element sits too close to the film for a mirror box to clear it; framing is by an optical finder on top and focusing by scale. The SWC/M followed in 1980, with the finder raised and the quick-release base lowered so Polaroid magazines would fit, and a revised winding crank. The lens runs eight elements in five groups behind a Synchro-Compur shutter timed 1s to 1/500.
