The Polaroid Originals Color Film for Spectra is an instant film. Polaroid Originals is responsible for the production.
The Polaroid Originals Color Film for Spectra was developed for the Spectra instant image format. The Spectra format was developed by Polaroid in the 1980s and is slightly more advanced than the Polaroid 600 films. One image is 10.2 by 10.3 cm (600: 8.8 x 10.7 cm) in size. On this area, the photographed motif (9 x 7.3 cm cm) and the frame are distributed.
Development of the image begins after the image is ejected. During development, you can only wait. The developing time is five to ten minutes.
Film format
The instant film can be exposed in all Polaroid Spectra and Image cameras. The instant images are stored in a cassette. A battery is located in the cassette next to the images. One pack of the film is sufficient for 8 frames.
For this format, Polaroid Originals B&W Film for Spectra is also available as instant film for black and white images.
Update
As of October 2019, this film and the format in general was discontinued by Polaroid Originals. Further films for the format will not be produced and there is no alternative. The reason given was the low reliability of the old cameras. An alternative to the Spectra format is the Instax Wide format from Fujifilm.
