    Speaking as someone whos too young/too poor to have ever shot packfilm, Kodak packfilm absolutley needs to happen, that stuff just looks like magic!

      The stuff is just the best! I think It'd Be great if Fuji rereleased packfilm as an Instax film and maybe make a camera for it. It's wishful thinking, but I think the Instax brand could carry it, but we'll take what we can get so if Kodak wants to step up to the plate, I wish them the best and I'd be welcoming of it. I have a Polaroid 240 but film is expensive. It'd be nice to have a cheaper packfilm.

    Pack film would probably be more marketable to the large format shooters than packfilm camera users. I am still waiting for the Lomography Instax wide back for my 4x5.

    Just found your channel and am binge watching all the episodes I only have a Polaroid P yes the ugly one but I love using it. Back in the 80s my mum had one of the Kodak instant cameras and we would argue over who would get to use it cause it was so much fun and I took the last photo ever on that camera fun times. My daughter will grow up with film both instant and 35mm 120 she's only 3 and already fascinated by photos and photography

    I think if people continue to invest in smaller ventures, we can eventually rescale color film (and yes, that's an extreme task, but this we can aim high!) ... Also, we need to figure out what tech billionaire we need to get to fall in love with packfilm.

  • @franciscoramos8872
    @franciscoramos8872 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Dope as always. 2 questions.
    1. Some tin-type photos are faster to develop than standard modern film. Would you consider that to maybe be the first instant type film format? Also maybe a possible video idea? #makeitso.
    2. Have you worked with any Berkeys lately? #berkeybros, #berkeybest #doinker?

    • @InAnInstant
      @InAnInstant  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I would consider it to be a way to develop film quickly, but not instant film because instant film implies a contained chemical process. I could shoot a black and white photo and develop it in 5 minutes but that doesn’t make it instant. But I see what you’re saying!! And as always I am a Berkey bro but haven’t shot much of it lately #doinkerarmy

    New 35mm and 120 film cameras are what the future of film photography hinges on. Right now, there is nothing to fill that void. It would amazing if Pentax reintroduced the 645NII since they still produce 645 lenses... but I don't think they will.

    • @InAnInstant
      @InAnInstant  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Agreed; Pentax sits in a very rare spot in the camera industry. Their digital user base is already “niche” given the dominance of Canon/Sony/Panasonic. They are best positioned to do something like that IMO!
