when you purchased your camera and the film? What was the difference between the date you bought it with the expiration date? (basically, is the expiration like 5 years from when you bought it?)
@jcEightySeven If Instax film is left in the camera for any length of time, especially in a warm environment, it tends to yellow (and it gets worse over time). Much worse than old Polaroid integral film. Otherwise, fresh Instax film is actually toned a little on the blue side. The lesson I learned: Use up a pack of film within a few days.
@Ceguinho YES its does. but.. considering that polaroid films are reaaally hard to find nowadays (they’re super rare plus limited. since polaroid discontinued them).. maybe I’ll stick with fuji instax. but for design, i love polaroid’s vintage vibe. rather than the ‘modern’ fuji
4 settings is code for “no autoexposure.” The larger instax costs less and takes bigger pictures. The saturation is higher than the polaroid film, and the grain is much finer. Since people can hold the pictures they tend to display them versus storing them on hard drives somewhere…
i think it can be a nice alternative to digital photography. It let’s you be creative with the limited number of shots. I wonder if the film has expiration date?
i happen to like the intimate size of the photos. yes, the film is expensive, but that’s what happens when polaroid decides to stop selling instant film. for those of us with a creative side, there are a number of possibility’s with this. great for fashion shows/outfit layouts.
nice review! thanks for sharing!
@migz57 actually no , I’ve read the manual and it says shaking the film that is still developing might damage the film. but I’ve try it yet

can you shake the pics just like on the polaroid classics?

once you think about it, its a pretty good deal since you dont have to process it at a drug store
