I bought a Polaroid Spectra off of Etsy for $15, bought some IP/PO Spectra b&w film at Adorama (guy gave me a deal since it was expired), and shot this picture

I thought, well, this interesting. So I kept on shooting it

Satish and I have been trying to figure it out. I suppose a cracked lens. The Spectra has this interesting way to focus with an element that rotates cross-wise over the lens aperture -- but I think there's a base lens behind the rotating element that I think might be cracked. 80s era high-grade optical plastic is pretty fragile, I guess...

This may be the film photographer's creed. Fantastic results, hookstrapped!

This last one was shot through a window so I switched off the sonar AF, which basically sets it to infinity, but somehow I maybe turned the flash on (?) because I saw a flash through the viewfinder. I think the effect is the raindrops caught by the flash.
