Want to Buy WTB: Polaroid Spectra camera

bvy · Dec 11, 2015

Looking for a new Spectra camera. Mine died today. I want one with the extra controls -- self-timer, ability to turn off focus, flash, AF, etc. Would also like to see a picture before purchasing. Thanks!

I have one for sale (keeping other one) but didn't test with new film. I have older film where on both the Spectras don't spit out right. I think it's because of the old batteries in the packs.

Argh, I just saw a pile of these at a thift store. I'll swing by and hopefully they'll still be there.

Thanks! Don't go to any trouble, but if you come across one reasonably priced and in good shape, let me know.

Pretty sure mine is the one with extra controls on it but the rubber is not in great shape. Don't shoot much Spectra these days so it's yours if you want it.

Still looking...

I have this one that I last used in 2013 with Impossible Project film and it worked great. I can get you a photo of the back later today to show the controls if you are interested. I think it has all the controls you wated on the back.

Here's shots of mine. Front plate is missing so I don't know exactly what model it is.

Rubber is rougher than I remembered. Cam works fine but bottom plate would need work if you wanted to use it on a tripod.
