Kinda want the Instax Mini 90 even though it's stupid expensive and I'd probably only pull it out at parties and stuff. Somebody talk me into/out of this irresponsible impulse buy.

Whitezombi posted:Buy one. I would if I had the cash. You make a convincing argument. Looking around, it seems like so far it's all been import models, and it was slated for an early 2014 US release, and there were some more reviews popping up from as recently as a few days ago. Does this mean it's out stateside now? Amazon has both an import and non-import model listed (with the non-import significantly cheaper), but I'm not sure how reliable an indicator that is--wouldn't be the first time an identical product had multiple Amazon listings. There's one person claiming that the 15th (today) was the US release date. I guess I'll wait a few days and see if things sort themselves out.

Whitezombi posted:Nice! I may pick one up in a couple of months. How do you like it so far? Really digging messing around with the bulb and double exposure stuff. I haven't used an instant camera since I was a little kid, so I've forgotten how neat it is to have a physical copy of your picture, right after you take it (and wait for it to develop). People are a lot more open to a selfie with it, too  (and the macro mode operates at the perfect distance for that)

This is one of the double exposures I did. I haven't done many double exposures before, so I just went with the pretty safe trick of black on white plus a pattern to fill in the black. One thing the mini 90 does is that putting it in macro mode will actually stick a mini-lens into the viewfinder, to correct some of the increased parallax effect that you get from up close. I still kinda missed it a bit (hence the left and bottom edges), but being able to do an instant double exposure is pretty dang neat. 404notfound fucked around with this message at 07:49 on Jan 20, 2014 |

I know instant photography in this day and age can be a little cheesy, but this is ridiculous!

Is Instax film okay to take through an airport x-ray? I believe it's 800 ISO.

Did anyone go in for a Lomo'Instant Wide? I got the kit with the wide-angle and close-up lenses, but I'm not sure how to focus them. The manual with the kit said the close-up has a set focus distance of 10cm, but is that with the camera's lens itself focused as close as possible? And the part for the wide-angle lens says to set the camera to 0.5m (even though it only goes down to 0.6m) to take pictures at 0.3m with the attachment, and at infinity for "normal" photography. So at one foot I'm focused as close as possible, and anything else I rack it out to infinity? I don't know if I care for the lomo aesthetic/culture, but at least it's a more versatile camera than the Instax 300, which can't even turn off its flash.

Dr. VooDoo posted:Anyone have any experience with the new square instax film and camera yet? Kind of iffy that it's a digital projection onto the film instead of right from the lens and I wanna see if it works out ok This review on reddit sounds extremely disappointing: https://www.reddit.com/r/instax/comments/6c7az0/instax_sq10_first_impressions_and_issues/ Seems like a really half-assed point-and-shoot. Hopefully they'll release an analog model.

Pictures of the back show a button that appears to let you turn the flash off, which would be nice since the 300 wide doesn't have that option. It doesn't sound like this one comes with a bulb mode though. I've already got the mini 90, but this is sorta tempting. The square aspect ratio just feels right to me for instant photography.
