Ultimate Ranking of ALL Instax Mini Films | Tier List

In this video, I rank ALL Instax mini films according to a few specific criteria. I talk about the utility, versatility, visual appeal, and predictability of each type of film. I show example photos and videos to demonstrate elements like sheen and texture. I also discuss some best practices or ideas for how to use each film type. I have taken many photos on the Instax mini, and I'm excited to share my findings! This video is useful for all photographers interested in testing out some different types of film.

The rating and explanation you used was so helpful! I'm saving this video! ❤ Thank you for this upload.

[@YvonneHansonPhotography]

Thanks so much for watching :D I'm glad you liked it, and I hope you get a chance to try some of these films!

Contact sheet film rocks!

[@hip2bdaniel]

Thanks! Yes, very informative. As someone who's tried both Candy Pop and Monochrome, I'd put Candy Pop way ahead, and I agree that Monochrome is super disappointing. (There's also the Leica branded Instax that might be interesting to try.)

I've been trying to figure out which film I have that had a metallic background and this was helpful. FYI - I think it was mermaid tail after watching your reviews. Thanks!

[@YvonneHansonPhotography]

Thanks for watching! Mermaid tail is really pretty, happy shooting :)

Wait actually, just got to the part about the monochrome instax. I agree it's kind of washed out, but it looks so good for horror style stuff. There's a grocery store chain in Long Island called Stew Leonard's that has animatronics as part of the decor, and some of the pictures are genuinely unnerving.

I think I haven't given it a fair shake- the two times I've shot it I haven't gone out of my way to take pictures that are flattered by the black and white toning. Most of the pics I took with it were casual snaps and I was kinda disappointed. But I totally see how spooky animatronics would be the perfect subject matter!

Naauuurrr youre making me want to get my poor neglected instax out again and spend a million dollars on film 😅 The contact sheet one looks sooo good

[@YvonneHansonPhotography]

dooooo it do it do it!! You won't regret trying the contact sheet!

[@Medic6666]

I'm starting to think I have got it all wrong. I love the packs where the colours are random and you dont know what you are getting next. My teen girls moan if I use plain borders as and I quote "plain borders are soooooooo boring". That said they do have there fav borders and one of them wanted a goth or steampunk looking border. Trying to work out a way to add that after the printing is complete. Great vid though just like your others...keep them coming.

[@YvonneHansonPhotography]

Hahaha, art and beauty are subjective I suppose! I'd be down for a goth boarder that sounds awesome. Come to think of it, all of the boarders are pretty cutesy/ pretty, would be nice to have some different vibes!

[@hemangdama5007]

I had no idea there was any thing more than the original and black and white

[@JamieMPhoto]

The heart borders got me going dark: I just thought of having to shoot a crime scene back in the day with it ... I mean, just imagine having that in the old Job Pro (whatever that would be for Fuji). ha ha. 😅😅

[@JamieMPhoto]

P.S. The Polaroid b&w is amazing if you haven't tried it.

[@YvonneHansonPhotography]

Hahahaha accidentally grab your kids Instax before going to work as a forensic photographer, love it 🤣

[@ClaudiaOfTheWorld]

we used the heart border film for our wedding photo book. but yeah i’d agree it’s not very versatile.
