Polaroid Spirit 600 Century 21 Instant Film Camera
With the advertising models, we typically waits until we have at least two units before selling one to the public. And with the Polaroid Century 21 camera from the 1980s, it took us almost five years to find a second one! This camera is in great condition and perfect for the serious collector.
This camera is part of the collection from a former Polaroid employee. Carefully stored for decades in Boston, these cameras and other paraphernalia eventually made their way to Retrospekt. We are slowly releasing bits and pieces from this incredible collection, much of which is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own with pieces we've never seen before.
This camera has been completely restored and tested and is ready for another generation of photo taking. All you need is a pack of 600 film (sold separately) and you’ll be able to experience instant photography at its most authentic — on an original Polaroid vintage camera!

The high speed of 600 film, which requires less light, combined with a built-in flash and fixed focusing, form an incredibly versatile instant film camera that’s easy to use and ready to excel in nearly any situation. When it comes time to take a picture, remember: Polaroid film is sensitive to light, so keep it shielded, or in a dark place, for several minutes while it's developing so you can get the most vivid result.
Their perfect blend of form and function may be ageless, but to make sure everything works like new, the team at Retrospekt carefully refurbishes every Polaroid camera by hand from the inside out. Each camera is cleaned, serviced and tested to ensure complete functionality for another lifetime of use.
This camera has experienced decades of life before finding its way to Retrospekt. As such, it will show some signs of past use and may vary ever so slightly from what is pictured. However, we are extremely picky about the condition of the cameras we restore and the parts we select for the repair process. The end result is an excellent vintage restoration that is guaranteed to work properly. Should any questions arise, we have a team of friendly people ready to help you.
