Cosmetically, this Spectra is in good shape with fairly average wear and tear. The film currently loaded is discontinued Polaroid stock although compatible film is still being produced by the Impossible Project, the company that purchased Polaroid’s production machinery after they exited the instant film business in 2008. As you can see from the frame counter, there’s film in it and we still use it occasionally. In October 2019 Polaroid Originals announced the end of their film for Spectra cameras, cameras that they had saved in 2008 with the Impossible Project. This particular Polaroid Spectra was purchased brand new by my father-in-law for my mother-in-law who later passed it down to my wife. Just above the frame counter on the top plate of the camera is the most important control of all: the shutter button.

Next to that is the switch that enables or disables beeps from the camera, a self-timer, autofocus override for situations that confuse the sonar rangefinder system like shooting through glass, manual flash override, exposure compensation slider, socket for the remote control receiver accessory, flash cycle indicator lights and, lastly, a frame counter. Starting from the left is the units setting (meters or feet) that will be displayed within the viewfinder which can be changed with the tip of a ball-point pen.

Most of the Spectra’s controls are on the back as a series of switches next to the viewfinder. Once open, a newly revealed lever on the opposite side of the camera can be pressed to open the film door for loading and unloading.

To activate the lens, the switch underneath the handstrap must be pulled. The camera uses this information to adjust the Quintic 125mm f/10 lens accordingly and takes a reading from the integrated light meter (located above the viewfinder between the lens and the flash) to calculate exposure. Spectra film (called Image outside of North America) is different from 600 integral film in that it has a different image format: a rectangular 9.2 x 7.3cm rather than 600 films square format. It was an all-new line of cameras, and had a corresponding new film. Using its sonar-based rangefinder system (the gold-colored disc hidden behind black mesh next to the lens), the Spectra emits a series of ultra high frequency soundwaves and then uses the echo delay to calculate the subject’s distance from the camera, much like the echolocation system used by dolphins and bats. Polaroid introduced the Spectra system of cameras in the early 1980s. It may be used, in some cases, to replace Polaroid or polarizing prisms. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the Spectra is its use of the sonar autofocus system pioneered by the Polaroid SX-70 Sonar OneStep in the late ’70s. Products include mirrors and AR coatings, thin-film polarizers, complex filters. With this new line of cameras came a new line of instant film named Spectra/Image/1200 film which, apart from producing rectangular instead of square images, is more or less identical to existing 600 series film.
