Flashing Light On Instax Mini 11

[Slip-On] It fits well with my Instax Mini Evo

[7.9" / 20 cm] I was in search of an Instax camera as a creative outlet and to put a retro spin on my photography hobby. I'd looked at the popular Fuji Instax line of cameras, and even had a Mini 90's in a cart, ready to purchase... but I kept having one nagging question in the back of my mind that kept me from pulling the trigger. This is pretty automatic, and you're stuck at F/12.7. Is this going to really give me the creative control I'm looking for, or would this be better for parties and grabbing quick-memories? Well, I'm not a teenager. I don't really go to too many parties, and the novelty to my friends of an instant photo is a great for sharing, but it doesn't really fulfill my personal goals. However... F/5.7 for lower light and/or shallow depth of field and Manual Focus, coupled with shooting a kind of camera that I'd never shot before? THAT sounds more like what I was looking for! First up... it's expensive. You could buy a Fuji Mini 90, a Fuji 300 wide, a Fuji SP-1 Instax Printer, AND more than 100 shots of film for less than you can buy this one camera by itself... and it doesn't even include a neck strap. That's straight-up daunting, if I'm being honest. On that fact alone, I couldn't recommend this camera for someone who just wants to shoot the Instax Mini format for fun. It took me a week to really mull that over. Am I glad I made the decision I did? Absolutely. This camera has taught me to slow down, compose, and consider. Each shot matters, so I care and think more on every one. This camera WILL take more skill/time and trial/error to get quick shots in focus than other automatic options. Vignetting occurs at high aperture settings. I'm running out of characters B&H will let me use, so let's wrap up this up with pros/cons: Pros: Manual Focus, f 5.6, glass lenses, fun bonus aperture (mine was a clover!), hidden flash, optional ND filters, close up filters, and lens hood Cons: Manual Focus, expensive, light-meter not very dependable in bright light

[Rectangle] Well, friends, although Instax MINI we couldn't consider a severe photographic medium, it still makes us happy, as well as our children. The Black and white film, in my opinion, fits the best for portraits. Especially with natural light — but this way you should switch off the flash, and set your camera on a tripod or something like that to make sure it's fixed motionless for long exposure. Try soft light from the window or even studio lighting. And you're going to be amazed with the results.

[800] Not sure you have any other choice for film for the Instax Mini, this film works good as expected.

[Assorted Colors] I use this in my Fujifilm Instax mini 25 and I love it. It is consistent and reliable.

[Handle] This makes it perfect for power to be given to 11 Mini for endless hours!

[12x AA] Impecca AA batteries allow us to take many fun pictures with our new Fuji Instax Mini Camera!

[f/2] Really enjoying the Fujifilm Instax Mini Eco. It is what it is, an instant camera that you control what to print. I really love seeing the surprise on people's face as I crank the Print lever and they see the photo coming out. Everyone loves the pictures. Exactly what I wanted,

[1x NP-70S] Fits the Instax mini 99 perfectly as expected. Comfortable adjustable shoulder strap. Doesn’t do anything more than hold and protect the Instax mini 99 from scratches though, so you will still want another bag to hold additional film and photos. If Fujifilm is reading this, I wish they would have an option for additional compartment(s) to hold such components, preferably even the charger and grip that come with the camera too.

[Handle] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Polaroid is so cute and portable. Smaller than my Instax mini that I have. Taking selfies is easy as well since there’s a mirror in front that is almost and inch big. It also comes with stickers that you can decorate with. So happy that Influenster let my try this!
