yes, me. I have a RF70 that I love very much https://www.instantphoto.eu/other/mint_instantkon_rf70.htm and a Rolleiflex Instant (TL70, 3rd version) that deceived me deeply https://www.instantphoto.eu/other/rolleiflex_instant.htm

Good grief. I get better results than that from my Instax Mini 9. Plastic lens, three weather symbols plus flash, fixed focus (about 5-6 feet)...

Edit: Okay, Fuji claims 0.6m to infinity, not sure what's focusing or how -- or whether it's f/22 and adjusts shutter speed with the weather symbols...

There is no focussing, it's fixed, It has just a change of aperture via the weather symbols, 12,7 indoors, 16 cloudy, 22 sunny and 32 very sunny. I presume it's something from 1-3m at F12.7 and gets more DOF via closing the aperture.

I also have the Classic Neo 90. That one give fantastic results. I will put some photos on my website this afternoon...

I can tell you (from a recent indoor cat photo) that it's close to 1.5 m true focus distance. If it goes to f/32 that might explain the selfie mirror on the lens surround. Flash exposure looks best around that 1.5 m distance, too.

I have the one that uses Mini Square film, can't remember the actual model name. Quite a nice camera!!!

I’ve been using the RF70 since January of 2021 and it’s been a joy to use. My only gripe is probably not being able to use the ND filters and the lens hood at the same time.

I made myself a standard accessory holder from a spare RF70 ND filter. Now I can use both, a standard ND filter and a hood https://www.instantphoto.eu/other/mint_instantkon_rf70_acc.htm. And yes, the RF70 is a joy to use.
