Fuji instax

[LunoLuno]

Fuji should product and sell a didicated "Interchangeable Instax Back" for their GF670 series cameras. The sales figure of the Fuji's instax films in the Asian market had already exceeded the worldwide sales figure of their all slide films conbined together some years ago, and the market has never been diminished. On the contrary, they are flourishing! So, how could one say it's a totally stupid idea? That way we don't have to worry about the discontinuance of GF670's production.🙂

My imported Neo Classic arrived today and I've already almost blasted through a pack of film.

Notes... Has lots of modes, accessing them is pretty simple. Once you understand what each does, they are easy to use. Being able to turn off the flash is, to me, one of the best features. But that macro, MX, Bulb mode and others are also quite nice.

It's quick and easy to set up and use. The only caveat, since it's imported, the charger unit only comes with a 2 prong adapter for overseas. But it's an easy fix, you just plug a standard "infinity" style 2 prong power plug into it like many of the Fuji cameras's chargers use, among other things. The tiny little battery charges up quickly and is ready to go.

I've shot Bulb, MX, macro and other shots and I am liking it so far. It's quiet and easy to use. I think my old PIC-300 will get put into retirement at this point as it's a clunky noisy beast compared.

In the box...

• Instax 90 Neo Classic camera
• Battery
• Battery charger
• Battery charger power plug for another country (not US for sure)
• 2 little strap connectors
• Neck strap
• 3 giant instruction sheets, each covered with tons of languages including English

It uses standard biz card size Instax film, the viewfinder is pretty easy to use. So far the drawback I find most annoying is that when you use Macro mode, you do not get a view that corresponds with your actual lens view so you pretty much have to guess the distance and hope for the best.

It seems to make images that are similar but to but much less "flash blown out" then the old style versions. It also has I think 4 brightness modes so you can adjust the exposure easily to get the kind of shot you want.

I got mine on sale through PhotoJoJo when they did a Tumblr-reblog-discount thing and I am very happy thus far.
