"Polaroid Spectra System Cameras"
Please Note: I do not sell film for Polaroid cameras or any other camera.
Polaroid introduced the Spectra system of cameras in the early 1980s. It was an all-new line of cameras, and had a corresponding new film.
Spectra, or Image, film is different from 600 integral film in that it has a different image format: a rectangular 9.2 x 7.3cm rather than
600 film's square format. Spectra film is otherwise identical to 600 film - ISO speed, development method and operation remain identical.
The Spectra range of cameras also sport better lenses on average than the 600-film range, with most of the models utilising an arc-shaped
range of focusing lenses inside the body that swing across the exterior lens element to provide correct focusing, rather than adjusting the
distance between internal lens elements. Spectra cameras are thought to take higher-quality pictures than a conventional 600 Polaroid camera,
due to the camera's higher build quality and a proportionally larger print area.
Over time, Polaroid has introduced many variants of the Spectra, but most include a 'Quintic' coated glass lens 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). The Spectra also has many optional accessories, such as close-up kits and law
enforcement kits.
Spectra film initially came with 10 shots per pack, but this was increased to 12 in most markets. Spectra film is also known as 1200 or Image
film in some markets, and there are high definition and grid-marked versions available, as with 600 film.
All Spectra models except the Macro SLRs and the ProCam feature 125mm lenses, giving a field of view equivalent to 46mm on a 35mm film camera.
