Fuji Instax Mini Monochrome BLACK AND WHITE Instant Film - 20 Shot Pack

Product Information

Left to right: Original, Color, Monochrome (using a colour image), Monochrome (using a desaturated image) The goal isn’t to make true to life colours, or Kodachrome primaries, but to make flattering portraits and landscapes. Skin tones are lightened and yellows shift slightly to ruddier tones. Overall colours are muted, but reds and particularly greens remain vibrant. Blues are considerably darkened improving sky contrast.

You could cheat at instant photography competitions, if it wasn’t for a manufacturing defect on the printer which gives purple light leaks on the long sides of the print, but hey ho, it’s the only printer you can buy. Color Fuji Instax film was developed in the original Polaroid era, and shares the same longevity as Polaroid. You can be confident that all your color Fuji Instax shots will last for many years without any strange chemical deterioration or major discoloration.

Fujifilm Instax Mini Evo

Loki Poster – I’ve had trouble printing this tip my satisfaction in the past. Scene shoes a high dynamic range and lots of shadow detail. Greens, yellows, oranges and reds come out ever so slightly green. Blues and to a lesser extent magenta, have an ever so subtle purple hue. It’s not so strong that you’d say it’s not monochromatic, but it’s enough that EMULSIVE wrote that it goes green in the shadows and when an orange filter was used, the whole image came out green.

Year after year, instant film cameras remain popular gifts to give and receive for their old-school, tangible imagery. There’s genuinely nothing like a photograph shot on an instant film camera. From light leaks to blown out exposures to the notion that the one shot you get is the only shot you get, instant film cameras have been an exciting way to capture current moments since our parents’ generation that simply doesn’t exist with the modernized DSLR or smartphone camera. I absolutely love this new instant film. I found the color Fuji Instax film to be a bit dull for my tastes, but the monochrome film creates fun, surprising images. I finally can put my great Neo 90 to good use for more than just parties. Looking for an instant camera? You're not alone. Instant film is as popular today as it's ever been. Fujifilm and Polaroid are still around making Instax and I-Type films, respectively, along with the cameras to match. The enhanced developing process produces a more rapid image - less waiting time for complete development Using the Instax Share SP-2 printer gets around problems such as poor camera metering, bad focus, poor optics and lighting colour temperature. However it may introduce new problems: primarily resolution limitations.

If you are presenting online (or enlarged), and intend a monochrome output then yes, I would recommend using Instax Mini Monochrome due to what I saw as better dynamic range and detail rendition. However, be aware there are some colours that don’t translate correctly into monochrome, so in certain circumstances, you may be better off using Instax Color and desaturating in post-production. Resulting from improved emulsion, development accelerators and development control technology it will keep your images colour-true for years If you've got an itch to shoot film again and don't want to have to find a local lab to develop your shots, instant film is a good alternative. It delivers results that almost match digital in their immediacy. The test prints were printed directly. Any pre-processing was done in the printer app and stated as a variant.

Whoever decided to cancel production at Polaroid should be banging their head on a table, because while they assumed the future was exclusively digital, Fuji steadfastly supported their instant film format through the 2000s and into the 2010s. As digital took over the consumer space, something funny happened. People grew nostalgic for the instant photography of old, and when they found Polaroid had essentially disappeared, they turned to the next best thing, something they probably had never used before even though it had been around all along: Fuji Instax film. Fujifilm Instax Color is much like that, but with less dynamic range, latitude, subtlety and overall charm. Blues in particular come out very dark. I almost thought it was a printer profile issue until I realised the printer was working right, but didn’t account for the film’s rendition; shots taken digitally and printed come out more or less as if they had been shot directly on Instax Mini Color. If you want to do it all in camera, at least you now have that option. Just bear in mind (or pretend not to notice) the less than truly panchromatic colour sensitivity, slightly borked green greys, blown highlights and murky shadows, both of which are mercifully not as bad as Instax Color. When printing, dynamic range is not significantly different between Instax Mini Monochrome and Color. Perhaps the range is a little better than Color, but improved highlight detail is partly because Monochrome is slightly slower than Color and neither the printer nor any of the cameras adjust for this. The Lomo'Instant Square is one of the quirkier instant cameras on sale today, but sometimes quirky is good. This instant folder uses a glass lens and works with Fuji Instax Square film to produce sharp, attractive prints. Support for multiple exposures comes in handy for artsy shots, and the included wireless remote gives you more freedom to set up selfies and group photos. Who It's For

Conclusion

You can go smaller, too. The tiny Polaroid Go uses similarly tiny film, available in color only. It's cute, but we think it's worth it to use classic Polaroid or Fujifilm Instax Square film because of their bigger image size. The Fuji Instax Mini Evo is a digital-instant hybrid camera with a chic retro style and a plastic-fantastic build. The digital design means that the camera works in dimmer light and focuses closer than analog models that take the same Instax Mini film, while on-demand printing ensures that you don't waste film on missed photo ops. Who It's For Out of Fuji's three instant film formats, Instax Wide makes the biggest prints. The Lomo'Instant Wide is the camera to get if you're interested in taking instant and impactful snaps with that format. It offers more artist-friendly features than you get with the Fuji Instax Wide 300, including multiple exposures and a split-image attachment for the lens. Who It's For until we see the eventual release of Leica’s own version, which is most likely rebranded Fujifilm film, anyway – EMULSIVE Instax Mini Picture Format Instant Film from Fuji. This is an incredibly sharp, credit card-sized, daylight-balanced ISO 800 film made for use in Instax Mini Series Cameras. Recognised for its excellent colour reproduction, the film has a glossy finish and is an excellent choice for general use, portraiture or even with electronic flash. Its also a fun film to use - easy to load, shoot and best of all - no wasted time at the lab wondering how your images came out. Due to its "mini" size, it is easier to carry, file and store when compared to larger, more traditional film formats.
