Royal Nonesuch@gregpak Thought you might be interested in this. My neighbor gave this to me. Polaroid Spectra 1200FF. There's no way I'm going to be able to get film for this. Any battery would I'm sure be expired by now. #BelieveInFilm
Greg Pak@Royal_Nonesuch Oh, yeah, I got a Polaroid Spectra by accident in an auction a while back. Camera looked like it was in great shape, but apparently the film cartridges aren't made any longer -- and the battery's in the cartridge, weirdly enough. Gave it away, alas.
@Royal_Nonesuch FWIW, there are people who have 3D printed new cartridges and loaded them with other kinds of Polaroid film, but that was a bit too much effort for me, ha ha.
@gregpak That's pretty wild! They got a battery in there too?
I have no idea what I'm going to do with this thing, but it's a pretty interesting artifact.
@Royal_Nonesuch There are a LOT of them out there and I wonder if at some point some company or person is gonna start making new cartridges for 'em. No idea!
