TTartisan Folding Instax Camera

Looks great. I’d be more interested if they released one that used Instax Square film. The credit card size Instax Mini film is a bit too small IMO.
 
It looks like no electronics, and maybe a crank to eject the film. Also appears to have real controls on the lens. And who is making "spring driven" leaf shutters these days, unless TTA is making its own? Very interesting! And probably not cheap...
 
If they put a rangefinder in camera such as this then we can safely say all those naysayers who said it's expensive to tack on a rangefinder, to put a sock in it then show them this camera, because we know full well it ain't gonna cost as much as a Leica
 
Me too. I'll pair it with my 1950 Zeiss Nettar and my 1953 Voigtlander Perkeo I. For a 1947 photographer.

Now if only somebody (are you listening, China?) could produce an affordable instant film for this little beauty...

I’d buy this as opposed to a plastic point and shoot blob, for the pleasure of rangefinder focusing, metering, metal heft and folder controls.

If this succeeds, maybe a 120 film version comes next—another reason to support TTArtisan. I use several of their lenses for M and L and X mount.
 
So the rewind crank would eject the film? Presumably you'd have to turn it properly in order to release the developer, right? Very cool concept, for sure. It would be interesting to see what a decent lens can do with the Instax Mini format.
 
With way it works and the effort in its mechanism it's probably better suited for more deliberate shooting such as a TLR.
