Modify Your Polaroid Spectra Camera to use Non-Polaroid Film

Step 2 Stuff You Will Need

My idea for this instructable came from the realization that the cut film holders I have for 3.25" X 4.25" film fit nearly perfectly into the mouth of a Spectra camera.  I filed the idea away until the price of Spectra film started climbing and it was clear Polaroid was getting out of the Spectra film business.  These film holders are familiar to Graflex camera owners and fairly common on eBay and dusty camera shops.

1.  A Polaroid Spectra Camera.

2.  3.25" X 4.25" film holder(s).

6.  Various lengths of wire.
