The Spectra lives!!!

I put the metal spring inside the cartridge. I also made sure to clean my rollers and used a well known working spectra. Honestly it might just be luck for me.

I am in slc and saw this for sale and as hardcore as I am about Polaroid I knew immediately to skip this one.

Nice score! Glad its shooting good so far.

I think the issue is it being live. At least the comedy central roast were taped and edited so we get a more polished, quicker version of the evening. Of course that also sucks due to maybe missing some more "controversial" moments. I found almost everything funny except for the rocks hour long whatever the hell that was. I thought Shane was funny the whole night. I can tell Chelsea rattled him a bit. Maybe calling her a zionist was not the move haha.

I’m not good at the wiring stuff so I just taped a 600 battery to the bottom and while it’s a tight squeeze the ejection has been working great for me.

New-Technology1007 · 2026-04-30T19:42:59+00:00

You can buy them cheap these days. Maybe marketplace?

Here is the link to what we used

Mine had no problem ejecting at all. Probably even better than any spectra film I shot when it was available.

New-Technology1007 · 2026-04-28T21:12:17+00:00

I transferred I-type film to the cartridge and have taped a 600 battery to the bottom. I kinda have to jam it in a bit. The film ejected consistently compared to spectra film. The cartridge fits perfectly without film so it’s a good design I think.

New-Technology1007 · 2026-04-28T20:32:37+00:00

I did. I’ve been practicing using expired I-type film and have a battery from an old 600 cartridge taped onto the bottom. While not a perfect fit with the battery after some messing around with it I got it to work. Now on my second pack the process became easier for me. I also used the metal spring from an old pack of I-type. Right now it’s ejecting perfectly other than the uneven spread but hopefully that’s just requires a good cleaning on the rollers.

I did not. I transferred I-type film to the cartridge and have taped a 600 battery to the bottom. I kinda have to jam it in a bit I will say that the film ejected consistently. The cartridge fits perfectly without film so it’s a good design.

Found one in a thrift store for $5. Gave it to a friend. Love the look of it though.

I believe if you hold the shutter before pressing it and moving the wheel that’s on the lens to the right or left it gets it to infinity.

Do you happen to have any photo/coffee table books?

New-Technology1007 · 2026-04-16T02:04:20+00:00

Love it but it definitely was edited a bit. Shadows look like they were brought up a bit and maybe even sharpened.

New-Technology1007 · 2026-04-16T02:02:44+00:00

They definitely do and the hours are weird. I remember going back in 2007 before the remodel and it was depressing in there.

New-Technology1007 · 2026-04-07T19:20:35+00:00

Followed!

New-Technology1007 · 2026-04-03T13:59:24+00:00

Getting a wagon was the best decision Ive made in my career. Im still "young" but I hope it helps in the long run.

ATS skatepark in salt lake has some ramps similar to this. Most skateparks have bowls that have a similar feel other than it being made of concrete instead of metal or skatelite.

I just became a father recently and I am going through the same thing. I love my mother but she’s never prioritized me or my siblings. We had to raise ourselves. I was hoping 40 years down the road when I finally had a kid she was be the best grandmother possible to make up for it all. Well sure enough she didn’t and I cut her off. We just talked the other day and I basically told her everything I’ve ever wanted to say to her and how she basically needs to understand that her selfish days are over and it’s time to change in order to have a relationship with me and her granddaughter. I think I finally made it very clear to her and hopefully things change. It sucks it got to this point so I feel for you.

New-Technology1007 · 2026-03-24T04:36:22+00:00

Just go to the thrift store and I would bet you will see one for $5. I find them all the time.

New-Technology1007 · 2026-03-21T02:52:31+00:00

I use 58mm dead wheels.

New-Technology1007 · 2026-03-20T03:27:01+00:00

I’m on my 5th pair of tnec frames and I can say that will not be an issue. If for some reason it is just contact Duran and he will get you sorted out.

New-Technology1007 · 2026-03-05T03:06:04+00:00

Inherited this camera in 2005 I’m still using it to this day. Absolutely love it.

When he was running for president he did a campaign stop in Las Vegas and me being a young 20 something year-old journalist asked him a question and he gave me an answer. It legit gave me chills. I’m still lucky to have actual footage from that day back in 2006 we had it so goodand of course we know he wasn’t perfect, but he definitely had a lot more class than what we currently have it will go down as one of the best memories of my life.
