instax is deax, fujifilm is only making the shittiest most basic cameras and lets people scramble to get the older (better) ones.
once the fad is gone they'll just clear inventory and stop making the slides, just like they do with everything else.
instax has great potential with its printers paired with their cameras. Its great to get prints right there and then.
If only they reduced the price of the paper
Instax is basically Fuji's cash cow that subsidizes the rest of their camera business.

Yeah, my SP-2 has paid for itself more-so than any other camera accessory I've owned.
did that diy with my 4x5 a while ago. just put those photo scrapbook corners on the film holder to match an instax wide. then ran it through a pasta press in the dark to develop. was neat.
Yeah, I saw some workarounds where you could use a wasted 4x5 sheet with holes cut out for the corners of the instax sheet and then activate the chemistry as you said, with a pasta roller or something else. I almost tried it in desperation.
This 4x5 back is great because it avoids all that. The only problem is that instax isn't really all that good of a film. That, and my lens shutter needs some adjustment.
I didn’t want to clog the stupid questions thread so I came to ask you people. I’m interested in the instax film but I’m having trouble finding a camera. What model from Fuji, lomo, or whoever else, from the long past or the present, is built well. As in I don’t want to get a cheap shitty feeling camera. I’ve already ruled out full metal cameras so im curious which ones might have better quality plastic that doesn’t feel like total McDonald’s toy.
They need focus ring with a scale, good documentation, and somewhat accurate viewfinder. Photo quality is nice enough.

I don't think that it matters much, it's low yield cash sink no matter how you look at it. Half of the fun is fucking with the unwieldy bastard. Just avoid hybrid ones. They are basically small digital sensor and instax printer. Fuji is devaluating their own advantage over competitors that rely on digital intermediate as well.

It's literally crop medium format
it's considered large format by cinema standards

No, but lomo did, and it's fucking marvelous.

They already updated Moot
Now it's a Japanese guy
lol
maybe they will but it'll be another huge plastic POS anyway, going off of the cameras fuji makes already

there are no instax cameras that feel good
