>>3832385In this extremely recent instant-camera-round up
https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/buying-guide-best-instant-camera/11They make a big point about mentioning that this is one of the few cameras with actual glass elements. And honestly, for the less-than-$100 you're spending on those instax mini's, there's no way in hell you're getting optical glass elements. They're built like toys because in a broad sense, they are toys. Even the RF70 in
>>3834290 literally says "WITH GLASS" on the front and that's an $850 camera.
But as the other guy noted, you likely can't tell the difference between a plastic lens and a glass lens anyway, or at least not with instax. Instax has great colors, but the resolution and sharpness is absolute garbage (especially considering that it's essentially medium format).
