The Polaroid 600 Carrots Instant Film Camera is a limited-edition release resulting from a collaboration between Polaroid, Retrospekt, and streetwear brand Carrots by Anwar Carrots. Each camera is built using original, refurbished internal components from vintage Polaroid cameras of the 1980s and ‘90s. These restored functional parts are housed within a newly molded plastic exterior that showcases the signature Carrots orange and green colorway, complete with the brand's logo on the back and a custom woven neck strap.
Founded in 2007 by Anwar Carrots, the brand is recognized for its dynamic aesthetic and prominent influence within Los Angeles street culture and fashion.
This is a new, custom camera built from refurbished, vintage Polaroid internal components housed in a newly-molded exterior — designed and built by Retrospekt and officially licensed by Polaroid and Carrots.

Utilizing higher-speed 600-type film, this camera features a built-in flash and a fixed-focus lens, offering a versatile and user-friendly instant photography experience suitable for various lighting environments. As Polaroid film is sensitive to light during development, users are advised to shield photos or place them in a dark environment for several minutes immediately after shooting for optimal color saturation.
To guarantee reliable performance, every camera is thoroughly refurbished by hand by the Retrospekt team. The process includes comprehensive cleaning, servicing, and testing of all vintage components to ensure functional longevity.
As this camera utilizes internal parts with decades of history, minor signs of past use may be present internally and may vary slightly from product images. However, the restoration process strictly ensures that the final product is fully functional and performs to established standards.
