Polaroid Spectra
Polaroid Spectra Film – Where to Get it, and What Makes it Unique
The Spectra is a series of Polaroid instant cameras produced by the company in the early 1980s. These cameras have experienced a huge second wave in popularity recently from those disillusioned by the ethereal nature of digital photography, and likewise enchanted by the unique and quirky nature of these amazing and special cameras.
Polaroid Spectra film is similar in function to regular Polaroid instant integral film, as the film develops in your hand once the picture is taken and the camera spits out the film. The difference in Polaroid spectra film is the size: spectra film is a rectangular format that differs from the more widely recognised square format used by the popular 600 series.
This unique film, combined with the Spectra’s superior lenses and higher build quality, make the spectra a widely sought after camera by Polaroid lovers of old, and those just getting into the resurgence of the Polaroid photography trend.
Polaroid Spectra film as a result is widely sought after and can be hard to find, and when you can find it, it can be very expensive. Polaroid Spectra film comes in packs of 10 or 12 shots.
You can likely still find film for sale at larger or specialist film camera stores, but as stated it is likely to be very expensive. The best place to buy this rare film is online, and searching online venders such as Amazon or eBay can sometimes yield bargains, or at least prices slightly more agreeable than bricks and mortar stores. Keep an eye out for bulk packs, which can be an expensive initial outlay, but the saving per shot can be quite significant. A good idea is to get together with some other Spectra enthusiasts and all pitch in to reduce the cost and split the film between you.
