Fuji Instax

[Simon Howers]

I have an opportunity to use a Fuji Wide 300 camera next weekend.

Some questions:
Is it true that you get a negative as well as the print?
Any tips on using one of these cameras?

Thanks

No. Only a positive. And are you using this professionally?

As mentioned, you get a print. Think of this the same as the Polaroid integral film like the SX-70 and 600.

prints only and they are pretty much point and shoot cameras

I have used it for some time - it is point and shoot camera, you have 2 focus options: close and normal. On close subjects you should pay extra attention on parallax error. Also you can darken or lighten exposure - sometimes it is handy to do so when you have scene with high contrast, or when light meter is not as you want. It is fun to use, pictures are pretty big, colors are nice and saturated.

Have fun .

I am also interested in the Instax film (and cameras). It looks pretty decent in the photos I have seen.
I have heard some good things about the Instax Mini 90, but the Wide 300 looks like it would be a better format for me. Let me know if these are any good. Youtube is full of people taking selfies, which is not my prime interest.
Do any of these cameras let you set shutter speed and aperture? (my guess is no, but you never know)
Have you guys tried instax film in other cameras?

There is no manual exposure camera that takes Instax film, and Instax film can't be shot in any other camera.

The exception is that there is an Instax Wide back for Lomography's Belair camera:

The Instax Mini cameras I've used take surprisingly sharp little photos, especially for subjects within the range of 7-15 feet. We have the older Mini 7s, which has a fixed focus & shutter speed with manually selected aperture. As far as I know, the newer Mini 8 is similar. The more expensive Instax Mini cameras do not give much manual control, but the Neo 90 is a very able snapshot camera. The Instax Wide film is attractive too, but the choice of cameras is so far limited. I'm hoping for the development of an Instax Wide back for 4x5 cameras to replace the peel-apart film backs.

Very interesting. Anybody tried the Wide 300? Is it sharp too?

There are other cameras that shoot instax film:

The InstantFlex TL70 by Mint
Lomo'Instant
Lomo'Instant Wide

You can modify a 4x5 holder to use instax film and then process it on an instax csmera.
