The Spectra film is otherwise the same as 600 films - the ISO speed, the development method and the process remain the same. The Spectra film (called 'Image' outside North America) differs from 600 integral films in that it has a different image format: the 600 film is a square, while the Spectra film is a rectangular 9.2 x 7.3 cm dimension. It was a completely new camera line, and there was a corresponding new film. Polaroid introduced the Spectra camera system in 1986.
