Followup on Instant Photography

To follow up on last week's instant film article, some further research turns up these tidbits:

• Fujifilm is releasing Black Instax (Facebook link).  The mini Instax film with a black border.  Looks great on an pumpkin orange background.  Available at B&H, Amazon and more for under $10 a pack.
• Also seen online is the Instax Mini Holiday Film bundle with 3 packs which have 10 different holiday themed borders.  No word from Fuji on this, but it is out there.
• Instax film is widely available if one looks:  big box electronics stores, big box office supplies stores, pharmacies, your local photo store if you are lucky enough to have one and more.  Of course, there is always online!  Just google for it.  Ken Rockwell recommends these online stores.
• Dan Bullman demos the Impossible I-1 camera on a portrait shoot.  Both colour and B&W I-type film are shown and he gives a peak at some of the features available with a smart phone.  This camera is still available as of writing on Amazon and B&H, but not seen on the Polaroid Originals USA site.  Maybe it is just me, but only the OneStep2 is displayed there.
• Unboxing of the Lomography Lomo'Instant Automat camera.  This camera comes with a box load of accessories and takes Instax Mini film.
• Review of the Mint Camera InstantFlex TL70.  Pricey, but most flexible in terms of creative control.  It does have its disadvantages, though.  Be sure to check the unboxing, see the links in the Youtube description.
• Keep exploring Youtube if you want to know more, it is out there!
