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.

Polaroid Instant Camera - They're Back, and They're Awesome
With the announcement in that the Impossible Project will begin producing instant film for Polaroid cameras in the very near future, the time has never been better to get into Polaroid photography.
The Polaroid instant camera system represents a series of cameras that have been in production since the 1960s that use a unique self developing film to instantly provide a photograph from each shot taken.
Polaroid instant cameras have recently had resurgence in popularity, as a new generation has fallen in love with the instant memento and quirky and unique photographic characteristics produced by these special cameras. With their nostalgic retro styling and the ability to produce instant physical photograph, Polaroid instant cameras have been embraced by hipsters the world over, and you'll see the coolest of the cool clutching theirs at nightclubs and other hotspots all over the world.
Polaroid instant cameras use a range of film or film packs, the type of which will depend on the model of camera you have. Very early models use a set of two film rolls, later models used a ‘film pack', that required the photographer to removed the film from the camera and separate the pack to end the developing process. The more common and recent film used by Polaroid cameras is the 600 film, which is the iconic integral developing film, which requires no steps to be taken by the photographer to develop.
The most popular model, and the model you are most likely to find in good working order either in your uncle's attic or for a steal on eBay, is the 600 series. The 600 uses the classic integral film packs that produce the iconic white bordered Polaroid photographs.
A Polaroid instant camera is a great way to experience old school instant photography, and they can be found for a steal online and in second hand stores or garage sales.
