We look forward to working with our community to test new products and to keep analog instant photography thriving well into the future. As we share in the sadness with our community, we continue to focus on the future of analog instant photography through enhancing our core range, and through continued work on our film chemistry. So today, with a heavy heart, we are announcing the end of production for Spectra film. After extensive testing, we have concluded that we cannot support these cameras any longer. Jamming and frequent breakdowns are now affecting the majority of these cameras, and unfortunately, this is not something we can influence with our film. With three decades behind them, these wide format cameras are now coming to the end of their useful lives. Pick which format or film styles appeal to you the most instead.October 2019 Dear Spectra photographers, Since 1986, Spectra has played an important part in Polaroid’s film offering and in the world of analog instant photography.
In choosing an instant camera - "Image Quality" is fairly unimportant. My Lomo'Instant Wide isn't really that sharp and it vignettes like an 80's glamour shot - but it's got character and I like the wide film. Instant cameras are novelties - they're fun to use and toss the images onto the fridge, in a scrapbook, or mail to someone. More specifically (for anyone interested) I'm thinking about buying a SX-70 or a Spectra in stead the 600 camera I'm currently borrowing, if the film quality/results are better, since the current prize differences between films wouldn't really matter for my use.
Cameras for these include those made by Fuji and Lomography. The mini film has quite a few novelty versions. If you want to shoot W I D E - then you'll need the Spectra Camera.Īnd if you want to shoot the good ol' fashioned polaroid - then a new I-Type Camera is the way to go, as it can shoot the less expensive I-Type Film and all variations of the 600 Type Film.Īlso in this market are cameras designed to shoot Fuji's Instax film, of which there are square, mini, and wide versions.
#POLAROID SPECTRA SYSTEM ISO#
You'll need a SX-70 Camera to shoot the ISO 160 formula. There are only 2 color formulas - the ISO 640 formula, and the ISO 160 formula. Will only work with Spectra Type Cameras. Same chemical formula as the 600 Film, but in a wide format. This film will only work with I-Type Cameras. The I-Type Film packs omit the battery - saving a few bucks on their price. The new I-Type cameras have their own power supply, so they do not need to use this battery. The older Polaroid 600 cameras were powered by a battery that was stored in the film pack. I have no experience with these films (as my instants are Fuji) - but I would assume the SX-70 film to be more vibrant and saturated due to the lower ISO. Will work with older 600 type cameras and the newly made I-Type cameras. Also now produced in a "duochrome" - a black and white film with a blue or pink color overlay. Produced in Color and Black and White, with white borders or color borders. But, here's the difference:Ħ00 Type Film - 3.1" x 3.1" Image area. Polaroid Originals is bringing back as much as they can, but it's easy to see from their website that their focus is on the 600 type film.
