If you are considering buying this camera and intend to use it but have not heard that Spectra film is discontinued and that the cameras have a known issue with jamming while ejecting the film, stop reading this and start doing some googling. If you know about the two things I just mentioned already and are still interested, here's some more info ....It looks good. If you'd like to have a Spectra for your collection after all your film is gone and shooting it is just a memory, this would be a good one for that. It even comes with the hard case that can also serve as a display case/stand. And it comes with the original instruction pamphlet that has full color sample pics and tips and instructions - very nicely done on high quality card stock.
And it works, sort of. I loaded a pack of film with a 4/19 production date into this and took two photographs - you can see them both in the photos above. The film does NOT eject easily or smoothly - I had to spank the side of the camera with the palm of my hand to keep things moving. But they did keep moving, so this puts this above several other Spectras I've tried recently. So if you have a pack or two of film left you could probably limp through them with this but don't be surprised if it gives up the ghost soon.
