Are instant cameras worth it just for fun? just to take fun pictures and have a physical memory of it. Do you own any? how often do you use it?

girlfriends friend goes around parties, clubs and concerts, on weekends, taking pictures for people with this shit. sells for 10 euro a pop.
buys entire cardoard box full of those packs of 20 sheets for 20 eur. spends 20 eur per box, earns 10 per image. earns 180 eur per 20 sheets.
makes enough money to not have to work a regular 8h job.

TLDR; thise little shits are not only worth it just for fun, you can also make a shit ton of money with them

The film is pretty great for what it is, but the cameras are almost exclusively garbage. Almost all lack the ability to manually control flash, and they're almost exclusively with plastic lenses. It's a real shame, because it can resolve a lot of detail, given the opportunity. I like using Instax Wide paired with a Crown Graphic. As unconventional as it is, it's just fun.

seriously? ten euros? I can't believe people actually pay that much. I might try that out.

>>4197883
they do, for some reason.

>>4197783
I have an Instax mini 90. I got it because it gives you some extra control with exposure compensation, a flash that can be turned on or off, and a couple other modes you can select. I'd say it's worth it.

100% agree, using a lomograflock back on my monorail. a bit fiddly having to remove the back to eject the film once I've made a shot but definitely worth it for quick portraits and exposure checking when shooting E6 film

I have the Square printer. Feels good to be able to gift some prints to friends on the go. And the quality is quite honest. The only problem is my camera taking too long to connect to my phone.

I had seferal ranging from the impossible project, to instax and new polaroid. Pics fades in a couple of years exposed to the light of a normal household environment.

I did a diy of that a while back. Converted a normal film holder to hold the instax wide, and manually rolling pinned the development.

>>4197805
Honestly, the Instax printers have been one of my most profitable camera accessories. Use it all the time for traveling and events, great for free drinks. For weddings, use it to leave the couple some shots that very evening, taken from good cameras.

Cover it.
Cover it with something semi-transparent.

thin pieces of tape leaving 50% un-taped
or thin cloth

I think they're fun, but their light sensitivity (or lack thereof) limits their usage quite a bit. The film is also super expensive, especially Polaroid.

But if you don't mind the cost and inconvenience, you can get some neat shots.

Lots of people aren't into expensive phototaking and editing. They're perfectly happy with instants.
I bought one for my GF and she's genuinely happy with it and what it does. though most of us don't, many people find joy in these simple things
