Kodak instant cameras running off of Polaroid film

A few weeks ago I decided to try a experiment with my trusty side kick Kodak's "The Handle."



 First to start off with kodak film was very similar Polaroid spectra as shows the photo below. On the right a Polaroid spectra photo and on the left a Kodak instant photo. The only difference between the Polaroid spectra cartridge and a Kodak instant film cartridge is the length. In photo 2 on the right is a Polaroid Spectra cartridge and on the left is a Kodak instant film cartridge. From the looks they look just about the same except for the fact that the Polaroid cartridge ran off a 6 volt battery and a normal Kodak instant camera ran off a 11 volt J battery.

 To put spectra film in a Kodak instant film cartridge this is what you need:
.A changing bag
.A empty Kodak instant film cartridge
.A pack of Polaroid spectra film I suggest The Impossible Project http://www.the-impossible-project.com/
.  2 Dark slides: usually keep the one from you pack of  spectra film and try to find another one lying around somewhere( you'll need this when you you put the pack of spectra film back in you spectra system and when you put the pack of film into your Kodak instant camera.)

Below is how my experiment came out on the right is a photo taken with a Kodak "The Handle" instant camera and on the left is a photo taken with a Polaroid Spectra System.
Notice: If you waste film by exposing it to light and/or damage your camera in the process of trying this experiment it is not my fault. BE WARNED!!
