Polaroid introduced the Spectra camera system in 1986. It was a completely new camera line, and there was a corresponding new film. The Spectra film (called 'Image' outside North America) differs from 600 integral films in that it has a different image format: the 600 film is a square, while the Spectra film is a rectangular 9.2 x 7.3 cm dimension.

Polaroid Originals made a sad announcement on its blog yesterday. After determining that the wide-format Polaroid Spectra cameras out in the wild “are now coming to the end of their useful lives,” the company has decided to discontinue production of Spectra instant film.
“After extensive testing, we have concluded that we cannot support these cameras any longer,” writes Polaroid Originals CEO Oskar Smolokowski. “So today, with a heavy heart, we are announcing the end of production for Spectra film.”
The company wants you to know that they didn’t give up on Spectra easily, but after 33 years on the market, Spectra cameras are just no longer reliable. Thus ends an era!

Looks like the only use for this Polaroid Spectra camera, case & film is to add it to your camera collection.
