Harmon's Phoenix film is like Instax you have to run in C41 I was almost concerned that you'd forget to trichrome the instax. Whew. that was close.

@xander1052 11 ай бұрын

Phoenix has much more dynamic range than that. I have photos from Phoenix in harsh light developed in C41 that have decent dynamic range, a touch more than Ektachrome. It's really the scanners where Phoenix falls apart.

I wonder if there is a way that you could preflash to remove some of the contrast and get a more even exposure

I use a Zinstax back on my RZ67. I've had exactly the same experience trying to meter at box speed and much better results at 1600. My nieces love seeing the instax photos so for that alone it's been worth the money.

i think the fact that the frame is a bit larger than 6x6 is due to the fact that the hasselblad can shoot 70mm too

@dmrain94 11 ай бұрын

Tip from someone who has shot a lot of Instax: your exposure duration actually affects the color response. Ideally you shoot it at 1/60 or 1/125. Anything slower begins to skew blue very dramatically, higher shutter speeds gradually give a warmer response

@@nbautista12 I think it's more like 640. But with the very narrow dynamic range, it's hard to tell precisely. I treat it like slide film and meter for the highlights. The brightest point with detail is about 1 2/3 stops over, the darkest point with detail is about 1 2/3 stops under.

Shooting Instax with the Lomograflok on my 4x5, the biggest issue I've found is that it's basically only got about 3 stops of usable dynamic range, compared to the 8-10 or more of most negative film stocks. That means most built-in camera meters that take a scene or centre-weighted average just aren't going to be enough to know if the scene will expose correctly. I've had my best results so far shooting studio portraits using strobes, but you've got to meter really thoroughly and use a *really* flat lighting ratio to get anything good. I can also really recommend the black & white Instax if you can get it!

I've had NONS SQ back for a bit now. I follow the instructions in using it. It works fine and was sensibly priced. Charge it up and it's good for about 8 to 10 packs of film; I guess I'll figure out how to change a battery when it fails. The dark slide was a bit fiddly to insert at first, is now easy. Exposure with the Fuji film is my largest issue ... Instax SQ color is very contrasty and tricky to get the right compromise, the B&W is much more forgiving. For the price, it's good enough for my use... The alternative Instax SQ backs I see so far are much more expensive and I have to wonder just how cost effective they are. This is a useful back, just not a Hasselblad quality grade piece...

@ramarren 2 ай бұрын

Your video motivated me to pull the NONS SQ back out and test exposures with Instax SQ color. I set my meter for ISO 800 and read incident exposures in EV mode. By and large what I found is that contrasty or dark scenes in the EV 5-9 range needed about 1EV more exposure than the reading, where more evenly lit scenes in the 9-11 EV range were fine at the measured reading. That's not too far off, I can work with it. And, even though it's been three or four months since I used the NONS back, it still had more than enough charge in it to shoot this pack and probably one or two more ... But eh? I'm done for today, and I'll recharge it before putting it away.

@nick4506 11 ай бұрын

i took an inxtax mini around before i ever had any 35mm developed. it was fun crossing the country hitting up goodwills for film and just taking pictures. its its own animal from real film, it will squeeze depth out of the latest scenes. in my eye not better or worse just different. gotta re calibrte the brain to instax mode to get landscapes and light houses out of what reely wants to be flash portraits in dim lit partys.

@Fjalll 11 ай бұрын

One way to use Instax is to meter for the highlights and use flash to illuminate the foreground. This works well with the Mamiyas and Hasselblads due to their fast sync speeds at 1/500th

@chunsanglum6131 7 ай бұрын

I had escura from kick starter was kinda disappointing and I got this as well. If the could clear out the black frame and fully cover the install square would be great. My dark slide was also scratched due to the crank as well. Manual ejection for me is good so I could be creative with multi exposure

@internet155 11 ай бұрын

I have a zinstax for my RZ67, it works pretty well but it does take time to get used to how to shoot instax with no dynamic range. It sometimes gives a light leak when i replace the dark slide but its not really that bad, just a white spot on one side of the frame.

@Edvinas_channel 11 ай бұрын

Did they actually create a USB-C device without the mandatory 5.1k resistors? That's why it doesn't charge, the device is simply out of USB spec. You expect that from $10 USB flashlights, not $300 device. For such price I'd actually return it.

Temperamental film exposure is an issue, but I don’t expect perfect clarity or exposure from this. But it could be better. I bent the dark slide the first time I used it. Inserting the slide is very difficult when new, and damn near impossible once bent, especially when trying to do so when the back is still mounted on the camera body.

Did you notice any difference in quality compared to a cheap Instax camera? I mean, those have plastic lenses but maybe for a reason.

@atticdarkroom 11 ай бұрын

You can't really resolve much from the prints so having sharper lenses don't really do much. From a distance they look about the same. The nice thing is being able to control depth-of-field or shooting macro or shooting anything other than f11 and flash.

@spaqin 11 ай бұрын

Going by official datasheets, I recall that instax >wide< resolves 10lpmm, or equivalent to like 3mpx. You don't need much resolving power. But you won't get much blurred backgrounds with these dark plastic lenses.

2:00 extra is because the film has guides to hold it flat and the instax film is wider and held further away. Image circle is the same, you just don’t see it on 120 because it’s effectively slightly masked. You’d get slightly larger images still on a 70mm back. 100% with you on the battery, hate them fixed in. That the dark slide supposedly doesn’t reliably work is kind of ridiculous honestly, as is the inability to wind with it in. Surely they could also have punched a hole in the dark slide and had a micro switch for the body pin to hit and use to trigger ejecting? As for the film, yeah it’s nice when it works but it’s very very high contrast. I’ve shot it a fair amount in a lomo back (and one sheet at a time manually before that) in a studio with strobes and you need to be within 1/3 of a stop essentially and with very low contrast ratios. Try a reflector if you’re outside with small enough subjects.

I toyed with the idea of grabbing the Lomograflok back for my 4x5, but what keeps putting me off is the terrible dynamic range of Instax film. I like Instax for what it is, but if you can't handle a woodland scene on a cloudy day without blank white skies... that's worse than slide film.
