Polaroid cameras don't have to have the sharpest, or even well corrected lenses since the "negative" size is the print size....so don't expect tack sharp negatives!  Even with this low expectation, I think the negatives came out rather well. 

I was convinced that this whole adventure would not work, so I just tossed the negatives into a tank with some 35mm film on steel reels.  The damage to the negatives was caused by the reels scraping against the sheet film.  Now that I know it works, I'll use my cut film tank!

Well, there ya go.  Have fun with your modified Spectra!
