We all know about the demise of Polaroid instant film, and the Impossible Project resurrecting this icon of a medium. I canвЂ™t wait to use it more!ДЄ bit on the film. I bought this off of craigslist for $25, and the images it captures is by far the best out of all four camera. It has an electronic shutter with a bulb function, a simple meter, and a nice viewfinder. First introduced in 1969, it was the first plastic body land camera that shoots color film in addition to b&w film. The BronicaвЂ™s polaroid back only exposes a small portion of the image so all you get is an Instax Mini sized image and a big black border.ДЇinally, my latest addition to my small collection of instant cameras, the Polaroid Colorpack II. ItвЂ™s been around for decades and thankfully Fujifilm still produces them. You have to the take the photo, pull out the film, wait a specific amount of time, and peel apart the film from the developing negative. This beauty uses FujiвЂ™s peel-apart pack film instead of the Instax integral film. The next one is an oldie from my dadвЂ™s camera collection, a Bronica ETRS medium format camera with a polaroid back. Just clip it onto the front and compose with the little mirror. I bought a self-portrait/close-up lens in Shanghai for $10CAD and it works great. Much more pocketable than the Instax 200, this camera shoots the credit-card sized Instax Mini film. My good friend brought this back for me as a souvenir from Hong Kong. My next instant camera was another Fujifilm, the Fujifilm Instax Mini 7. It is a beast of a camera.В Big and bulbous-y, every time I asked a friendly stranger to take a picture for me, they would ask me questions like вЂњWow, what is that?вЂќ or вЂњCan it shoot underwater?вЂќ It is a bit clunky to carry around and to use indoors, but it is an awesomely easy to use camera.В ItвЂ™s got a strong flash, a small lcd screen with simple exposure compensations, and it shoots the nice & big Instax Wide films. My girlfriend gave this to me for my birthday and IвЂ™ve fell in love with instant photography since. It all got started with this Fujifilm Instax 200 camera last September. I love the geniunenss of this medium, and I have only recently begun to appreciate it. No redos, no second tries, an instant camera produces an end product.
