    Polaroid

    Does anyone know if (new) Polaroid 600 film will work in an (old) Polaroid Spectra body (if you cut those little tabs off)?

    Also, does anyone see a difference in sharpness between Polaroid Spectra (folding body) and the newer non-folding Polaroid cameras?

    Boy, I haven't shot with a Spectra camera since a model swiped mine down in South Florida. Thanks JK, for stirring up those painful memories... :cryin: :mad2:

    Seriously, I can't tell you for sure, but I remember that Spectra film seemed fairly unique and not usable in mutiple cameras like much of Polaroids other films. I'd think you'd be able to find out more by checking out their site or maybe doing a Google search on the web...
