Handmade square photo album

I was looking for an album for square photos,

but compared to the mini format, it was surprisingly hard to find albums or display items made for square size photos.

So I decided to make one myself!

It works both as a photo album and a display piece, which I really love. It feels practical, but also looks really nice as part of the room decor too :)

Scanning tips ?

Hi everyone,

I’m not sure if this has already been asked but I’m curious to know if anyone has a specific scanner or tips for scanning their pictures? I can never get a good enough scan off my phone.

Thanks in advance.🌻

Instax wide ...which one is the best ?

Apart from the almost not findeable/expensive 500AF, which model is best, and for what reasons ?

I'm mostly asking about models from the Instax wide series such as 100, 200, 400, etc ... but may also consider alternatives.

I got myself an Instax Mini 99 for my birthday and I wanted to try the 'photo a day' thing that I've seen some other folks on here doing! I've missed a couple days, but I've really been enjoying challenging myself to try new ideas with my photos. This is my first film camera after about 12 years with digital and I still have a lot to learn! If you have any fun photo ideas/tips, please feel free to share 😊

I really love the square size after recently purchasing the SQ40. I also wanted to print photos from last year's road trip, so I ended up buying the Instax Square Link too.

I am quite satisfied with the photo quality!

Which instax should I choose?

Hey instax users, I’m looking to buy my first instax and I have these options

  1. Brand new Instax Mini 41
  2. Second hand Instax mini 40
  3. Brand new Instax mini 12
  4. Second hand Instax mini 11
  5. Second hand Instax mini Evo

I have a question about the durability of the second hand options, how are they after a year of usage? I’ve read that some of the models have error when printing (red line on prints) or metering issues.

The brand new options I am looking at are also export sets, which pretty much means they have no warranty as well.

The price difference between new and used are only about $39usd, I wouldn’t mind paying more if it means I wouldn’t get a faulty set.

From what I understand there isn’t a big difference between 40/41 and 11/12, just manual controls on 40/41 and retro skin.

Any advice to help my purchasing decision is appreciated. TIA!

Question about Instax Wide 300 Demand?

A couple months ago, I got a Wide 300 for $30 from the thrift store with its lens stuck in zoomed in position. Fixed it for ten minutes, and resold it on eBay for $250. Okay, nice...

Last week, I found another one for $20 with a corroded battery terminal, cleaned it up with distilled vinegar, and still no life. So I listed it for $199 (according to sold listings, broken Wide 300 goes for that much). Not even five minutes and someone bought it, even though it was listed for parts only.

And oddly enough both cameras were bought by someone from China. Why is this?

Is the Instax Wide 300 really that sought after, or is this China-only thing? I'm just curious.

Brand new instax wide not working. Pls help!

My brand new never used before instax wide 400 blank orange several several times after putting in new film. It released the black film piece that’s supposed to come off but after that it kept blinking orange, and wouldn’t print out any photos. After messing with it it finally printed out 2 pictures but one came out completely black and one completely white. Boyfriend is saying the shutter isn’t open and we’re gonna have to take it apart to get it open?

My Instax Square Lomo arrived.

Just took a quick photo to try everything out when my wife went to the pharmacy when we were coming back from buying film for the camera (I only had mini and wide at home). Subject: the local Court

Seems like a camera that I'll enjoy using.

Only downside detected for now:

  • Doesn't bring a strap. Ended up using the original one from my wide Evo temporarily since on the Evo I ended up using another one too (the evo strap seems too weak). Already ordered a new strap for this one, so I'll replace it when it arrives.

Instax Mini 12 Tips

I bought an Instax mini 12 a couple of days ago (my first instant camera). But the photos are overexposed. Any tips on how to fix this? Or is this normal?
