FUJIFILM INSTAX MINI FILM:
PRO TIP: Instax Film Deals: It helps to look around and buy in bulk. Generally, the 60 image value pack is your best bet for the lowest pricing. It only contains the plain white borders but is normally the cheapest around 58 cents per shot, or $5.80 per 10pack.

FUJIFILM INSTAX SQUARE FILM:
PRO TIP: Instax SQUARE can be found for about 87-91 cents per sheet regularly. I have found some of the best deals for you here. Make sure to look around and divide the price of the film by the number of sheets. If you are paying more than 91 cents each, you are paying too much!

Instax SQUARE 10 sheet pack with a black frame: amzn.to/3fvQoJp

Instax WIDE Film 3 Pack with photo framers (60 Exposures): amzn.to/3begPA0
INSTAX CAMERAS:
PRO TIP: Getting the best price is usually linked to color. So make sure to check the color options to ensure you are getting the best price. You may prefer black, but if the yellow one is $30 less, it may be worth the savings.
#1 MiNT TL70 My Favorite Instax Mini Camera. Aperture priority f5.6-22. Beautiful twin lens reflex design: amzn.to/2SQxbIJ
#2 MiNT RF70 My Favorite Instax WIDE Camera- Fully manual with optional ND filters. f5.6-22, shutter 30 seconds to 1/500. I love it: amzn.to/3ducU3r
#3 Fujifilm Instax WIDE 300. Great Automatic option for Instax Wide Photography: amzn.to/2WGxKFY
#4 Fujifilm Neo Classic Mini 90. Uses Mini film. Great compact auto camera in black or brown. Consistent excellent images: amzn.to/3bg6ALt
#5 Fujifilm Mini 70. A cheaper version of the Mini 90. Available in a lot of colors. Just as much fun but fewer features than the Mini 90: amzn.to/3dr58Y7
#6 Fujifilm Instax SQ6. Available in many colors. Shoots Instax SQUARE. Great automatic camera with many functions. Similar design to the excellent Mini 90. amzn.to/2yvLoUz
POLAROID CAMERAS:
PRO TIP: Don’t buy the camera bundled with film or accessories. You will usually overpay!
#1 OneStep+ This is Polaroid's current flagship camera. It has Bluetooth built in to pair with your phone. If you take instant photography seriously, and you want polaroid, then this is the camera for you. Fully manual. F12-64. 30 seconds all the way to 1/125. Portrait and standard lens selection. Get it in white or black (I got white and love it). Uses I-TYPE FILM. It’s great: amzn.to/2YH7nCy
#2 OneStep Now. Polaroid's newest camera. It is the only current camera with autofocus. Great focus, automatic only. Uses I-TYPE FILM. Available in many colors: amzn.to/2YN5YdO
#3 OneStep2 great automatic option. No autofocus. Everything is in focus past 2 feet. Available in many colors. Uses I-TYPE FILM. Just point and shoot: amzn.to/2YN5Pag
POLAROID FILM:
PRO TIP: Get the right film. Vintage cameras use 600-TYPE Film. If you have a Polaroid camera you got from your grandmother or at the thrift store, it uses 600-TYPE film. If you have a new Polaroid camera, it uses I-TYPE film. If you have a Polaroid camera that folds flat, it uses SX-70 TYPE Film.
Polaroid 600 and SX-70 film is more expensive than the I-Type film because the cartridges have batteries in the packs of film to power the cameras. Your best bet when buying polaroid is to buy the official bulk packs.
Polaroid I-TYPE 5 pack bundle (40 exposures total): amzn.to/3froAG5
Polaroid I-TYPE Single Pack (8 exposures total): amzn.to/2YPXcvp
Polaroid I-Type Black Frame (8 exposures total): amzn.to/35HoIgd
Polaroid I-Type Value Pack B&W and color (24 images total): amzn.to/3bkq41s
Polaroid 600-TYPE Film 5 Pack (50 Total exposures): amzn.to/2YH8Toe - บันเทิง

Godamn dude. Incredible images. This was one of the best videos I’ve watched on this awesome little camera. Thanks a ton, I really appreciate you!
No Problem! Thanks for taking the time to comment. Good luck with your photography. Cheers!
I too am totally overwhelmed.
Ah, well, the only thing to really worry about is having a good time. So, if the video doesn't make sense to you now, it will after a little bit of practice. Cheers.
Correct. Thanks!!
I ordered my neo 90 today and collecting it tomorrow. I’m so fricking excited!! Wow your so knowledgeable within this field, thank you for sharing that with us!!
Hi. Thanks for saying so. I appreciate it. Lots of videos about the Neo Classic here. If you have any q's, just email or post. Cheers!
Robert Hamm no problem! I will be sure to check them out :)
Great video! Thanks for explaining the instax controls in real photography terms. My lightbulb went off when I understood that picture mode controls aperture and the light and dark and setting controls shutter speed. You are the first person who is explained a way to use the flash that makes sense. I usually just turn it off, but I’m looking forward to trying it your way.
Hey. I'm glad you found the video helpful. Thanks for the comment. Let me know how it turns out. Cheers.
Robert, you're my reference for Instax photography now. Nice photos
Hi Doug. Thanks for saying so. I appreciate it. Cheers.
Wonderful photography lesson. I have had this camera for quite some time and feel ready to shoot with it now having a deeper understanding of how this camera operates. I have saved your video as I will return to it often for guidance. Thank you so very much!!!
Thanks for your comment. I'm glad you liked the video.
This video is GOLD. I’ve been looking for more detailed information about what the modes does, and this is the one that explained everything I needed. Thank you so, so much!
You’re welcome.
Great video - thanks for taking the to make it, and post it - was very helpful!
Glad you found it helpful. Cheers.
This is amazing, thank you so much needed this, just got mine and never used Polaroid before. Excited but worried I’d screw up so many photos haha
Love the video but i too was a bit lost. It would be amazing if you did a cheat sheet type video where you said the possible lighting conditions and then the best mode to use with each one.
Hi Jessica, I'd love to do that, but unfortunately It's not quite that simple. It's all about lighting. It takes some time to build up the experience to know what the light is doing. So, unfortunately, if this video was difficult to follow, then that means it's a great opportunity to try out what I was talking about and see how it works. It's kind of like my "tips" are concentrated experience. It may not make sense right now, and if you haven't shot enough for it to make sense, then you need to practice and shoot more. Your best bet would be to take one example at a time, look for that kind of lighting in your surroundings, and set up a shot, I'd be happy to see how your images turn out. Be sure to follow me @RobHammPhoto on IG. If you have any other Q's, just DM me there. Cheers and good luck!
Thank you for the very helpful video, I was so confused about the different modes!!
Happy to help.
Awesome tips mate! Thanks. Tried with the same modifier caps as yours but white and yellow. Working really nicely
I'm glad you like the video. Cheers.
Where do you get the modifier caps?
Thank you for posting this video...very informative.
+Brian Hintze Glad you liked it Brian. Cheers!
This is one of the only helpful videos about the Instax 90 I found! Amazing, thank you! It would be great to hear more advice from you. Do you always shoot with flash? I noticed that the images I get with flash are much much better than those without it.
If you master this camera your overall quality will improve enormous cause there is no room for error and no post editing
+RS I really enjoy instant photography- more than I thought I would. I'm getting really good images. Why not share, right?!? It's a very fun medium. Thanks for your thoughts. Cheers!
Amazing explanation. Can you explain the settings for each picture as well?
Hallo Robert: I have question. Did i become almost the same results with the orange gel as with the modifier? And if i shoot in the sun, distance under 3 meter people, should i choose the Party mode with flash, or the normal mode with flash? (the sun is behind me illuminate the people)
Thank you for the informative video!
Very useful! Thanks a lot!
You're welcome, Yury!
Mega informative!! Thanks!!
Very happy my video helped you. Cheers!
Robert Hamm have you tried using your mini 90 with off camera portals?
I've been having fun with some decent results. I set up the younguo flash set to slave mode with a shoot through umbrella. I trigger the flash by holding my cell phone in front of the flash. Pointing the phone towards the speed light, while blocking any direct flash from hitting the subject.
Fun times if you haven't already tried it.
I think I’m tired haha. But If I want the background to show then I need to put the “light” on?
Comparing it with the mini 9, since it also has a light meter?? Does this one also automatically senses what mode to use?
Awesome vid.... Thanx for sharing..
Hi. I'm glad you like it. Cheers!
Do you recomend this camera for toys photograpy?
I am not a pro i am a totale noob whit shooting whit an fujifilm instant mini camera. But i wanna shoot good photo,s hands i am watching you,re video😅i bought on yesterday and i ordered a case for my instant mini 40 camera and it came tonight. I love my instax mini 40 instant camera 😊👋🏾✌🏾👍🏾
Thank you for explaining this in photography terms. Looking forward to trying this out instead of just pointing and shooting and being disappointed! Can I ask where you got your camera strap from please?
good luck and i'm glad this helped you.
Please please get the Instantflex TL70 and teach us (me) how to get proper exposure
+Dr Hazli Sufian Sulaiman Hi there. I got the TL70. Check out the videos when you have time. Cheers. You'll want to watch two videos specifically, 'Explaining the Green and Orange light's, and 'Common problems and their fixes'. Cheers.
Hello robert, i am new user of the instax camera.mi want to ask where did you buy your modifier? Thanks
+Anne Gabuyo The modifier I use is part of a flash kit. It's the Light Sphere by Gary Fong. I use the cloud dome accessory. Cheers.
There’s a little hole on the right side of the camera(opposite side of where the photos pop out) do you know what it’s for?
I believe it is a manual eject button. You would use a paper clip or sim eject tool to work it.
What would be the great alternative for the modifier? Please :) I have my new instaxmini 90 and i love to shoot great photos outdoor :)
+Engrjoy Evangs Hi. Thanks for the question. Sometimes I'll use a thin white paper napkin. Just make sure not to double it over, you just want to use one layer of the paper to help difuse the light. Of course you could use a sheet of paper as well.
Color temperature may change a little depending on the color of the napkin or paper you are using, but it shouldn't be too bad. Remember that we are only trying to soften the light, and this top works best when the subject I'd close, like 4 to 6 feet (about 1.5 to 2 meters).
I hope it helps. Cheers!
Robert Hamm thank you Mr. I haven’t tested my instax yet. It was given to me yesterday :) i would love to watch some photography tricks of yours using the mini90 :) -all the way from philippines 🇵🇭 thank you! 🤗🤗
Thank you and good luck!
Just some constructive criticism, I think you need to get a decent mic the audio was quite distracting
May I ask where you got that modifier from. And thank you for such a great video. New subscriber here.
It’s the dome from a Gary Fong Light Sphere.
Hey, thanks for the video, i have a ton of pictures out of focus and idk why, do you know how does it works?
Hi Victoria. The most likely reason is that the wrong focusing mode was chosen. The Mini 90 uses zone focus. You have to make your best guess out of three focusing zones. It's easy to forget because everything in the viewfinder will always be in focus. You should choose macro when things are within a meter, the people icon, when your subject is between 1 and 3 meters, and the mountain focusing icon when your subject is more than 3 meters away from you. I hope this helps. Thanks for asking. Cheers!
Thankyou so much!!
Good day sir. Can I use the modifier in instax wide cam?
Yes. Almost anything can be used to modify the flash. Just get something translucent and mostly white in color. You'll be good to go. Cheers.
Many comments/reviews I've read on Amazon say that all their photos from the value packs of film turn out completely black. I read dozens of reviews saying this. Do you think it is defective film or all attributable to improper use? Have you ever had this issue after having film shipped to you?
I haven’t had that experience. I can’t speak to the claims because I haven’t seen them. If I had to guess, I’d say user/camera error. Instead film, or instant silk for that matter, is very tricky to expose. It’s easy to get a wrong exposure. This is especially true when exposing manually.
Hello there, I just ordered the mini 90. I just discovered that this camera can be difficult to use so yeah.. Is it a good FIRST instant camera? Nice video btw! :D
Glad you like the video. You'll get the hang of it. I really like my mini 90. It got better the more I understood what it was doing. Use the tips in my video and you'll have no trouble.
Audio is distorted...
Would the exposure of my images come out bad if I use darken mode and the flash WITHOUT a cloud dome?
I don’t have a cloud dome, so I’m wondering if it would be okay without one.
I also would like to know whether or not it would be okay to use darken mode indoors.
And also, if I use lighten mode, would it be necessary to use the flash as well? Is it not going to be bright enough with lighten mode?
And do I use the flash for landscape and architectural photography?
Lot's of questions... Not having the dome won't hurt your images. It may make the flash a little brighter. The purpose of the dome is to diffuse the light so it's softer on the face and fill in any shadows. Do not use darken mode indoors. It's too dark inside for Instax film at the small apertures the Mini 90 uses (f11.7 and f22). Lighten mode tells the camera to either open the shutter longer or use a wider aperture (depending on your mode). When you need to lighten, you should use flash because you want to lighten even more. Like outside when shooting into the sun (back-lit subject). Don't use flash for landscapes of architecture.
im so fucking lost
This is from photographers to photographers 😅 You need to study and practice photography.
My photos turned out to be too dark. What should i do?
+Llana Castillo make sure to send me some images to see over on Instagram @RobHammPhoto tell me your settings and I'll do my best to help. Cheers!
Thanks, no we arw talking! Btw, I have never seen this sharp instax photos!? How the hll did you do that? 😮
With zone focus cameras, like the mini 90 and all other Fujifilm Instax cameras, you must be a good judge of distance. This is because are all zone focus. They can't manually focus. They simply focus up to .6 meters, from .6 to 3 meters, and beyond 3 meters. So, get good at judging distance with these kinds of cameras.
@@RobertHamm Yes, that is the point. I think too many think "A" stands for Automatic, including automatic focus, when it actually means kind of "N for normal distance/focus". Because sooo many photos I see in the reviews and testing videos the photos are so blurry. Of course long shutter speeds matter also, the apertures are small and in low light the exposure times get longer. I will soon receive my new SQ6, let's see how I manage with it 😄
You'll love it. It's a great camera.
That's what I was looking for. Finally someone using brain.
Thanks.
Thank you for this video.
Please let me know if there is an email that you can be reached. I would pay for lessons on how to use my Instax Mini 90.
Thank you.
You are welcome to email me at Rob (at) robert hamm photography . com
We can go from there. Probably better for you to email me and have a chat via skype or something. I answer questions about this camera all the time this way for free.
Cheers.
