![]() Within 1 year he and his best 10 team members would be able to produce a new film material. And Andre told him about his secret experiments and the slight chance to re-invent a new analog instant film if they only could save the factory. He told him about the incredible re-discovery of analog instant film all over the world and the incredible potential of the next generation of analog customers. There he met Andre, 6 the production manager of this amazing plant, and suddenly everything changed. Within the year 2008, the very last factory in Enschede, NL would close its doors forever.įor almost one year, Florian Kaps tried to fight this frightening decision, but the best he could get was an invitation for the closing event on June 14th, 2008. ![]() Then the SHOCK: Polaroid informed the world about the end of the production of their instant films. (honestly not a too big challenge, as basically they were the only one)ĭuring this time they had the pleasure to discover that they were NOT the only maniacs who passionately love analog & instant, but that there was an exponentially increasing number of people of all ages who re-discovered the magic of analog instant photography in a more and more digital world. Only a few months later, Webmeister proudly launched their first online shop, 3 and in the following years they became the worlds biggest online retailer, specialized in Polaroid film. Together with his long-time business partner in crime, the famous Webmeister aka Andreas Eduard Hoeller, he founded the UNVERKAEUFLICH Trading Company (unfortunately destroying the notaries table with aggressive developer paste from old Polaroid film when they instantly documented the founding ceremony) in spring 2005. You could hardly find any supply, there was no real communication and it seemed clear that the days of Polaroids were counted.įor Florian an unacceptable situation that simply had to be changed. Surprisingly the world, including the Polaroid management itself, seemed to have totally lost faith in the relevance of instant film. Immediately, he was addicted to the mysterious magic of this incredible material and started to dive deeper. The impossible journey origins in the year 2003 with the very first instant self portrait Florian Kaps took with an old Polaroid Camera from the flea market 1. In order to understand this product`s true nature, please allow us to serve you a condensed short version of how it all started: Film from '09 might not have enough juice left.The story of the POLAROID ORIGINALS FILM is almost as unbelievable as it is impossible. I can still use the camera but I can't use flash :( anyone know how to open it up and fix it? It stays red and keeps making a weird clicking noise over and over. I bought it online, it is used (obviously). This same exact thing is happening with mine. I may open the thing up and see if cleaning it out helps. As the camera is from 1990 that may be the case. Either some dust or moisture or corrosion is shorting them out intermittently, or perhaps they're just old and leaky. My guess would be something wrong with the charging capacitor(s). ![]() Tapping it on the bottom also seems to fix it, at least temporarily. Same issue - charging light stays red, and annoying popping sound every few seconds. I recently inherited my moms spectra pro. ![]() Same thing has happened to me, I recently bought a spectra and the flash worked once then after that the light would say it's charging but would never turn green to use the flash and it would make a weird noise inside I just gave it some gentle but somewhat forceful, taps with my hand on the bottom of the camera while the flash was charging and it worked. That's happened to one of my Spectras before. Without the flash turned on it will shoot a photo. Kind of frustrating when yesterday it worked just fine. And the camera won't let me shoot a photo. The light still is red on back after the snap. But now when i flip the flash switch to start to charge i get a red light and i hear a click or a small snapping sound inside after about 15-20 seconds. Personally i think it is the camera as I bought old 1200 film from the impossible project with and expiration of 09 so i dont think it is the battery, and i did get one shot off with the flash. i just got it so i don't know if it is the camera or the battery as i have only put one film pack in it so far. Has anyone had an issue with a flash not charging in a spectra systems camera? this is a new camera for me.
