W/NW Fuji/Impossible/Polaroid Monochrome instant film pictures

[lynnb]

Share your Fuji Instax, Impossible and Polaroid Originals monochrome film pictures.. i.e. modern monochrome emulsions, not discontinued pack film like FP-3000b. Let's see what current generation bw instant films are capable of.

Mods: if this is more appropriate to the Polaroid and Fuji Instax sub-forum please feel welcome to move it.

This thread seems to have failed to launch, but I’d still like to see pictures with monochrome instant film. Here’s one of mine with Instax Monochrome Square film, taken with the Instax SQ6.

Love the SQ6 images. I have an SQ6 too. How do you scan your prints? I use a flatbed V700, but have trouble with Newtons Rings.

Thanks - I use a v850, I haven't noticed Newton Rings - I just lay them on the glass and close the lid.

I go round and round with Instax. I had two SQ6s that at one point I glued or taped wide-angle and tele converters on, and layers of kitchen roll over the flash... but in the end the struggle of trying to get the exposure I wanted, and correct registration and focus for close-ups and double exposures and photographs through bottles etc, got too much for me so I sold them and bought a printer. The printer is great in it's own way, but obviously not the same. Then more recently I bought the Nons on ebay (as the stack of out of code Instax I bought a few years back wasn't going down but was getting older) as it was already in the UK; it has more control but is correspondingly much slower in use and not exactly conducive to spontaneous pictures.
