The camera is very easy and fun to use. I love the quality and nostalgia of the photos! The manual was easy to find for free as a PDF file. Film also readily available at reasonable prices. You have to be careful when handling the film packages, they are easy to damage. If you put too much pressure, the pictures come out with thumb imprints or large portions of the picture missing. However it is completely worth the extra care. I love the quality of the images, they remind me of the pictures I see browsing through my parents photo albums. Definitely a cool, quick alternative to the hassle that can be owning a digital camera. Who doesn't love instant, tangible results!?!
I've been really having fun with this Spectra AF camera. It uses Spectra film that you can purchase from polaroidoriginals (dot) com. This is not a high end Polaroid camera and has a plastic lens, but it gives your photos a wonderful vintage look. Good way to re-introduce yourself to instant photography.

The Spectra camera is a nice system with some cool accessories like the “Close-Up Lens attachment” & “the Duplicating Stand” to spice up your Polaroid pictures. Spectra system also have basic setting you can control from the back end of the camera like flash, autofocus, sound and brightness and darkness. Polaroid Original currently sell Spectra Film for $19.99 Color & B&W I was able to find a 20+ year old smack brand new unopened Spectra, Close-up Kit & Duplicating Stand for under $65 I highly recommend this system to pros and novice or anyone who just love polaroid

The Spectra AF is a great vintage Polaroid Camera that takes Polaroid Spectra Film. Simple to use with advanced features including a self timer, exposure compensations, flash on/off auto-focus on/off. It collapses into a slim and easy to carry camera. It's vintage cool! The camera lens is plastic, but suitable for a retro look. The camera is powered through a battery in the Spectra film pack. No need for extra batteries. Polaroid discontinued Spectra films, but they are being made again via The Impossible Project. The Spectra film has a nice big 3.6x2.9 inch image size. Grab one while their still readily and cheaply available in ebay. Once the new film become readily available, these used cameras might be hard to come by.
The camera arrived promptly and in a nice fabric carrying case, which was a sweet touch. I wasn't expecting much because it was so cheap, and I would say the price was right in line with the quality. Took a couple pictures: not as great as a newer camera, but gives decent images. A good back-up for my other polaroid and the slightly diffused image produced is going to be great for more artistic shots. The rubber was already dried and starting to decompose and fall off, but it's expected with vintage cameras. Smelled a bit strange, but when aired out was able to get stench out. Overall good product for price.
