Here is another camera review! I really really really love this camera and I just HAVE to share this one with you guys! Look at this pretty thing! The polaroid image 2.

The polaroid image2 is a camera from the spectra system that started in the 80s. Spectra was a totally new line of cameras and used a new sort of film. A rectangular 9.2 x 7.3cm rather than 600 film's square format. Apart from the format, the the film is exactly the same. ISO, development and operation.

This system of cameras also had better lenses in the cameras. The Spectra/Image series also has many optional accessories, such as close-up lenses and special effects filters.

Spectra film came with 10 shots per pack. After 10 shots, the camera went into EOP (end of pack) mode. Spectra film is also known as 1200 or Image film in some markets, and there are high definition and grid-marked versions available.

I do not recommend you to buy the old films. the chance your film turns out good is not really big. Most of the time there will be brown-ish spots on the picture.

You can get film from the impossible project. Those work pretty good. The film is a bit light sensitive so make sure that you put you film in a dark place for a few hours after making your picture. Also, if you’re taking pictures outside in the cold, make sure to put you picture in a warmer place, for example the pocket of your vest.

Have fun looking for this one, cause I know you want it too! :)

Don’t forget to enter my analogue project! :)
