Week 48 – Spectra
I recently discovered a stray pack of expired Impossible Silver Shade for my Spectra. I didn't expect much and thus was pleasantly surprised. I hear the newest Impossible films are getting pretty good. I may need to order a pack or two. The Spectra was fun to work with again.

Week 20 – Surprise!
While I was awaiting the return of my slides from the lab, I grabbed my Polaroid Spectra for a few quick shots. It had a pack of Impossible B&W which I needed to finish. Imagine my surprise when these popped out. I really shouldn't let cameras sit around with film in them for so long.

Unfortunately the 2359 is its primary handicap. It often fails to fire and locks up the camera. Oddly it works fine on… Continue reading Week 76 -Polaroid Time Zero OneStep

Polaroid Colorpack II – Week 64 Results
The Colorpack II is a cool Polaroid, if a bit quirky. The scale focusing is simple to use, and there is a mirror arrangement which makes the setting visible in the viewfinder. There are two apertures, marked 75 and 3000 for color and B&W film respectively. When shooting 3000 ASA B&W film, the depth of… Continue reading Polaroid Colorpack II – Week 64 Results
