Very interesting! I own a instax square and sometimes I would like to use mini format but the mini cartridge doesn't fit into the square camera. Do you know if it is possible to load instax square cartridge with instax mini film?

have you considered testing an expired film but kept in fridge until it expired see if it would retain its quality a bit longer... lets say 6mos passed expiry date?

Thnx for your great video. I didnt noticed the paper was expeired. I thought my printer was defect. Now I know its cause by the film. I like the calm way you expained this. Happy new year and happy printings.

Square cameras are the same as the wides with same basic functionality... What's so special about squares?!
@GoneWithFilm
@GoneWithFilm 15 күн бұрын
The Square cameras are newer and have more features. Mainly the shutter and exposure is much better when using the Square cameras, the result is best seen indoors and in low light. The wide cameras are pretty ancient-the newest 400 from 2024 is 99% the same features-wise as the Instax 100 from the 90s. The Wide cameras are also very bulky and hard to put inside most bags, even in dedicated camera bags. The Mini and Square cameras while also a bit bulky, are lighter and can fit in a jacket pocket.

Than kyou for this helpful video! However, I am afraid it's not going to work in newer cameras... the camera won't allow us to take pictures if the counter is in the "s" position and the counter it is going to change from this S position just when you add a new film. I dont' think its possible to change films between cameras

Thank you for this video! I wasn't able to get the ink cleaned out completely but I managed to get it so its mostly on the edges of the picture and looks like a very light grey instead of a giant black stripe. The thing that I'm having trouble cleaning now is the little bristle-y thing that's in the slot that the film comes through. That stuff is still covered in ink and I can't get it out (I have an instax mini 9)

I have done that, that’s how I found out that the spring part seems to be soldered in place. Do I have to do some soldering work to fix it? I used your method with tin foils but not sure what went wrong with “18”, arrows and flash sign blinking for abit and turns off again. And sometimes it wouldn’t turn on at all. Occasionally, the lens would come out and the camera then turns off again.

@@jacklynngnz Follow the battery wires to the circuit board and check how far the corrosion is. Might have a short somewhere, there's still a chance for the camera to work if the circuit board isn't damaged, but on some cameras if the corrosion reaches the circuit board it's no longer economical to repair.

If the film was exposed to light, are all the films gonna turn out blank?
@GoneWithFilm
@GoneWithFilm 2 ай бұрын
Depends on how long the exposure was an how bright the light is. Indoors and if only a few seconds and the back is closed, usually it's only the top sheet that's affected. But if the pack was taken out and left for exposed more than a few seconds, probably the whole pack will be white or have streaks of white.

I already have an SQ6 so I'm not interested in getting a Mini 99. For most people, the Mini Evo would be the better choice because it's a hybrid and much easier to use. While the 99 is a great camera, most users who are not experienced photographers will have a difficulty in mastering the camera.

Loving the chanel and seeing you create and upload more! After reading the comments I was wondering where you were able to find a replacement mirror for the rangefinder in your Pathfinder 110? Is it something you can order, or would you need to cut it yourself? I made the mistake of rubbing off half of the silver in the RF mirror of my Polaroid Model 150 while attempting to restore it, and I also completely threw off the calibration on the rangefinder. It was never the same after that. I am going to be converting my Pathfinder 110 instead, I love this camera. I'm also looking into changing out the shutter assembly or lens later on, lots to tinker with.

@GoneWithFilm 3 ай бұрын
I bought my replacement mirrors years ago from Surplus Shed, they used top have them in packs of 10 for cheap. Try looking for old graflex and kalart rangefinders for parts. I also found an old post saying you can order the glass from Edmund Optics.

For users of the mini 7+ and mini SE, as of sept 2024, there are now "stick on" closeup lens/selfie mirror accessories that you can buy. These work by sticking on a piece of plastic on the front of your camera so that you can mount the lens. Previously the 7+ and SE had no way of mounting these lenses. Just search for "stick on instax selfie mirror closeup lens".

Thanks so much for this video. Can you explain the steps with the ground glass and finding the focal plane in more detail? How are you able to see the image at 2:52? I'm making one too and it technically works, but the photos are out of focus trash
@GoneWithFilm

The RB67 will focus only correctly at a certain, fixed distance from the lens. Using the ground glass and with the camera lens focused at infinity, wide open aperture and shutter speed set to "B", we open the shutter and view through the lens. At the correct distance from the back of the camera, the image on the ground glass should be focused also at infinity. The metal adapter plate plus the spacer screws put the back at the correct distance. Hope this helps.
