Now, someone somewhere in the world has got to have thought of hacking together an external battery pack for the spectra. Some lights come on but the camera dies when I try to take a picture. anyway, so I loaded it up and of course it doesn't work. Of course this doesn't work when the film supply dries up and all that is left is 10-year-old expired stuff. Apparently, the batteries for these cameras reside inside the film packs, with the idea that you'd never run out of juice since you'd always be popping in fresh ones every time you reload the film. Auctioneer's notes on one of these sold at Westlicht state that just four of these cameras were made.So I bought this polaroid spectra on ebay, and a pack of old expired film to go with it.

A special edition was made in collaboration with the jeweller Cartier, covered with three colours of gold, and with a gold-and-saphire decoration on the top. This camera was first introduced in the year 1990, and provides the greatest flexibility in terms of user control of all Spectra camera models.īefore Polaroid produced the Spectra pro, Minolta licensed and marketed the same camera under the name of the Minolta Instant Pro. (This is a stub entry and needs additional information.)

The Macro 3 SLR is similar to the Macro 5 SLR, but offers only three magnifications. The Macro, with a yellow shutter button, was designed for both 12- and 10-exposure packs its picture counter counts up. The Macro 5 SLR, with a red shutter button, takes 10-exposure packs of Spectra film and its picture counter counts down. An Intra-oral Dental Kit provides attachments for illuminating the teeth and gums. An optional polariser reduces glare from non-metallic surfaces.

A PC socket permits use of external flash. Twin electronic flashes can be used together, separately, or shut off. Focus is performed by moving the camera until two light beams overlap on the subject, or until the image is sharp on the focusing screen. The Macro 5 has true SLR viewing (with a grid for alignment). This model (and its twin the Macro 3) are the only non-folding models of Spectra-film camera manufactured. The image can be stamped with the date or time. Three optional supplementary lenses provide 0.67× and 5.0× (contact and non-contact) magnification. Single-lens-reflex designed primarily for medical and forensic work.

Time/date stamp capability, autofocus, lighten/darken control and was sold with a close-up lens attachment. 90mm lens - shorter than any other Spectra model made - giving a wider field of view roughly equivalent to 33mm in 35mm film format. Sideways folding mechanism, with folding viewfinder mechanism. Shoots up to 12 exposures using the final generation of Spectra/Image 1200 film.No Lighten/Darken control or other means of exposure compensation.Built-in metal lens cover automatically slides over the lens when the camera is folded.Auto-flash with no ability to force on or off.A warning/reminder light appears near the viewfinder when the close-up lens has been selected. Fixed-focus, but has built-in close-up lens for shots down to 60cm.Wider lens (100mm f/11.5, 2-element aspherical plastic).A black model known as the Spectra Blitz was marketed by the Lomography Society, but that model does not fold down. The camera front is hinged at the bottom and opens vertically similar in principle to a single-hinged SX-70 model though this is not an SLR camera. Sports a semi-translucent grey body otherwise functionally identical to original Spectra model.ĭifferent folding mechanism to other Spectra models, featuring folding plastic bellows.

Over time, Polaroid has introduced many variants of the Spectra, but most include a 'Quintic' 125mm f/10 3-element plastic lens, self-timer, automatic exposure, and sonar autofocus in many cases the addition or removal of user controls is the only distinguishing characteristic between models (eg the Spectra 2 has only exposure adjustment Spectra 'E' only has AF, flash and lighten/darken controls and the original Spectra has these plus LCD display, self-timer and volume controls).
