save your money Don't buy that

Bought for nostalgia. I can't afford the original and thought I'd at least have a copy of the Polaroid. Unfortunately, every photo is either over- or underexposed. Despite the "managementโ€ of the aperture, there is nothing complicated between them - it is somehow extreme.

Pros
  • Excellent general characteristics
Cons
  • There are nuances

Top of the range instant cameras

This camera is just out of this world. I have so much fun with him. Thinking about buying an instant camera and want the best? Save a little but get this amazing beauty. It gets a bit tricky at first as you have to set everything up manually. But once you get the hang of it, it's really nice.

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Expensive insurance

Takes beautiful pictures

Really impressed with what you can get out of an instant film with this film. The 5.6 aperture has a very comfortable focal plane that allows you to take great portraits. It's hard to focus, so be prepared to spend a few reels while you learn the quirks. They are a lot of fun to take pictures with and people love being able to take pictures with them. Due to the high entrance fee, I am more inclined to create opportunities to use it.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Rollers leave "stripes " on every photo

There is a roller arrangement through which every printout runs at the exit of the camera. For me they are either set incorrectly or not processed correctly, which is why every print that comes out of the camera has "streaks" in the picture. It went back to Mint for repair and they immediately sent it back saying it was discontinued. The same problem persists. So the camera is a very expensive decorative piece. My local camera shop (which I trust) says the problem is common, so they don't sellโ€ฆ

Pros
  • understandable even for the old ones
Cons
  • A small detail

Not for the faint of heart

I don't know how Mint succeeded, but they've recreated the twin-lens SLR in all its whimsical glory AND managed to combine it with the equally whimsical nature of instant film. These are two amazing horrors. Difficult to focus and set exposure (as it could be with the original TLRs). It's difficult to get a sharp image with instant film (just like with old Polaroid photos that were often blurry and a bit fuzzy). But what a fun camera to play around with. Just don't expect perfection. Thisโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • Some issues

Quality issues and poor service Revain

Like many photography enthusiasts, I was REALLY excited about this camera. How fun is it to have manual control and create shallow depth of field with Instax film? Unfortunately after shooting 10 or more packs of film and having trouble getting clear photos. I realized that my camera was a lemon. A series of rigorous tests has shown that the focal plane of the camera lens and the focal plane of the viewfinder are not aligned. So if an object is in focus in the viewfinder, it will be out ofโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Wrinkled

Unique instant camera

Let me just say I love this camera! When I saw someone making a dual lens instant DSLR, I started researching to see if it was right for me. It was! The design is based on older TLR cameras but uses Fuji Instax Mini film. This is a manual camera where you set the aperture and focus. Shutter speed is set with the switch in the top left corner to B for shutter speeds up to 10 seconds or A for a fixed shutter speed of 1/500s. Aperture is set under the bottom lens, viewing is through the top lensโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other models
