(This is a stub entry and needs additional information.) The Macro 3 SLR is similar to the Macro 5 SLR, but offers only three magnifications. The Macro, with a yellow shutter button, was designed for both 12- and 10-exposure packs its picture counter counts up. The Macro 5 SLR, with a red shutter button, takes 10-exposure packs of Spectra film and its picture counter counts down. An Intra-oral Dental Kit provides attachments for illuminating the teeth and gums. An optional polariser reduces glare from non-metallic surfaces.

Focus is performed by moving the camera until two light beams overlap on the subject, or until the image is sharp on the focusing screen. The Macro 5 has true SLR viewing (with a grid for alignment). This model (and its twin the Macro 3) are the only non-folding models of Spectra-film camera manufactured. The image can be stamped with the date or time. Three optional supplementary lenses provide 0.67× and 5.0× (contact and non-contact) magnification. Single-lens-reflex designed primarily for medical and forensic work.

Over time, Polaroid has introduced many variants of the Spectra, but most include a 'Quintic' 125mm f/10 3-element plastic lens, self-timer, automatic exposure, and sonar autofocus in many cases the addition or removal of user controls is the only distinguishing characteristic between models (eg the Spectra 2 has only exposure adjustment Spectra 'E' only has AF, flash and lighten/darken controls and the original Spectra has these plus LCD display, self-timer and volume controls).
