Instax Camera Mini 11 Light Flashing

I was in search of an Instax camera as a creative outlet and to put a retro spin on my photography hobby. I'd looked at the popular Fuji Instax line of cameras, and even had a Mini 90's in a cart, ready to purchase... but I kept having one nagging question in the back of my mind that kept me from pulling the trigger. This is pretty automatic, and you're stuck at F/12.7. Is this going to really give me the creative control I'm looking for, or would this be better for parties and grabbing quick-memories? Well, I'm not a teenager. I don't really go to too many parties, and the novelty to my friends of an instant photo is a great for sharing, but it doesn't really fulfill my personal goals. However... F/5.7 for lower light and/or shallow depth of field and Manual Focus, coupled with shooting a kind of camera that I'd never shot before? THAT sounds more like what I was looking for! First up... it's expensive. You could buy a Fuji Mini 90, a Fuji 300 wide, a Fuji SP-1 Instax Printer, AND more than 100 shots of film for less than you can buy this one camera by itself... and it doesn't even include a neck strap. That's straight-up daunting, if I'm being honest. On that fact alone, I couldn't recommend this camera for someone who just wants to shoot the Instax Mini format for fun. It took me a week to really mull that over. Am I glad I made the decision I did? Absolutely. This camera has taught me to slow down, compose, and consider. Each shot matters, so I care and think more on every one. This camera WILL take more skill/time and trial/error to get quick shots in focus than other automatic options. Vignetting occurs at high aperture settings. I'm running out of characters B&H will let me use, so let's wrap up this up with pros/cons: Pros: Manual Focus, f 5.6, glass lenses, fun bonus aperture (mine was a clover!), hidden flash, optional ND filters, close up filters, and lens hood Cons: Manual Focus, expensive, light-meter not very dependable in bright light

Amazing replacement for my original instax mini camera

It fits well with my Instax Mini Evo

Impecca AA batteries allow us to take many fun pictures with our new Fuji Instax Mini Camera!

This film is so easy to snap into my Instax Mini. It has surprisingly good color balance, even in low light. Great film. I highly recommend it!

Well, friends, although Instax MINI we couldn't consider a severe photographic medium, it still makes us happy, as well as our children. The Black and white film, in my opinion, fits the best for portraits. Especially with natural light — but this way you should switch off the flash, and set your camera on a tripod or something like that to make sure it's fixed motionless for long exposure. Try soft light from the window or even studio lighting. And you're going to be amazed with the results.

but it is unsettling to have the upstream light flashing

This film is expensive, but B&H has some of the cheapest film for the mini Instax cameras.

I've waited for months to get this camera, and I am so happy that I did! Unfortunately, there were not any Fujifilm Instax Mini Evo cameras available locally, but fortunately, B&H had one to buy online! My entire order was effortless, being shipped and received immediately from B&H. I receive so many compliments on this camera with it's vintage brown leather look, and the features are amazing! Between the ability to chose different filters, lens styles and even print from your phone through their mobile app, this camera is a MUST HAVE for fun trips, excursions, and events! I praise this camera, and B&H, every time I am approached w/ it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND purchasing it for your special occasions too!

I use the film for my instax mini camera from Fuji film. It's always hard to find film for cameras like mine, and for a cheap price. At B&H, I can get the film for a decent price! There really isn't anything bad about this product that's bad, and now I only buy the film here!
