Fuji Mini 90 Neo Classic

[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

[0.25 lb] Fits my neo-classic instant camera like a glove. Quality is nice too.

[6.5 Sec ] Very nice! If you have the budget do Mini 90

[7 x 5 x 3.2"] These Hypercore NEO 9 Mini v-mounts are small and give me the flexibility I need because I travel quite a bit for my shoots. The 98s are with in the travel airline specs and they last a good while...powering my RED or BMPCC. I love the sleep feature on it as well. I have 4 of these now.

[Aluminum] I bought this to mount a Voigtlander Nokton Classic 35mm f/1.4 to my Fuji X Pro2. Given the number of lens adapters out there I took chance and picked this one for the low price. It has worked out just fine, the Voigtlander focuses tack sharp on it with no flares or artifacts. For the price this was definitely the right choice.

[f/16] There is no shortage of good choices in the. 35mm range for the Fuji system. Even so I'm surprised this lens has not gotten more attention. The lens has two personalities, much like the ZM 50 1,5 in the ff world. It is a bit soft wide open, especially on the edges. This is more a design choice than a technical fault on the part of voigtlander. A very classic, soft look. Stopped down 2 stops or so and it becomes a thoroughly modern and sharp lens. As one would expect all other aspects are well controlled. Build quality is very, very good. Not the tank like build of classic Nikon lenses but not the weight either, better build than zm lenses. If you have not shot with a manual focus lens I would urge you to do so. It just slows you down a bit and makes you think. With a little practice you will find yourself also paying attention to composition as you focus. Overall, a very interesting and a bit unique lens. Two personalities - classic/vintage rendering wide open, modern stopped down. a bit. A little pricey but worth it. Hopefully Voigtlander will make many more lenses in the Fuji mount. Best compared to ZM 50 1.5 as a niche and fun lens.

[1:7.1] 120mm macro is a true classic. Everybody does and the quality overall is pretty much the same (pentax, fuji, zeiss etc). What makes this one special? Well just look at the price...This focal lenght is a very usefull one, kind of must have. Good for portraits, landscape, bugs, nature and macros. The quality is here even wide open you'll get sharp and crispy images, even at the farthest corner (as usual with others 120 macro).I can complain about the build quality, is not as good as hassel and leica, specially the aperture ring!

[Pattern] Stable, consistent, instant film for Fuji Mini cameras.

[1.28 lb] Fits the Neo 2 Perfectly.
