Camera: InstantKon MiNT RF70

The makers at MiNT, the small camera company that has customized Polaroid SX-70 cameras, built the MiNT TL70 TLR camera for Instax Mini film and even produced a photographer oriented watch, has now introduced the InstantKon MiNT RF70.

While pricey for an Instax camera, the camera has been boasted as the best Instax camera available.  It features a 3-element, multi-coated lens with glass, aspherical lenses, with both shutter control (timed from 1s to 1/500s plus bulb) and aperture control (from f/5.6 to f/22).  An Auto mode is also available with plus or minus 1 stop compensation.

Focusing is with a builtin rangefinder system, and an 0.44x real image viewfinder.  The RF70 uses an accordion bellows for a traditional look.  MiNT makes the bellows in-house.  No bag bellows here.

The camera uses Instax Wide film, for the largest image area available currently for Instax film.  Your blogger certainly enjoys Instax Wide with a lesser camera, so this offering should be no less exciting.
