We posted a while back on Polaroid and how the company went under. If you were holding you're breath, you can breath easy now. No the company has not returned, but there is a last meal so to speak, and you can take part in it. This Lomo 'Spectra' is a great way to fill the void, they are available now online for just US$80, or US$110 with film.
Polaroid Spectra "Blitz": Created in the early 1980’s, the Spectra system propelled Polaroid’s consumer film into a higher level of quality and resolution. Images are 9x7cm, vs. 8x8cm for a standard square-format shot. In 2001, the mighty fine Spectra Blitz was released. Its wide-angle 3-element lens sees 33% more than your average 600-series Polaroid and renders each image with bold color and contrast. As it was discontinued a few years ago, they have only 200 brand-new deadstock units available. So if you want a piece of history, hurry!
