Fuji Instax Mini B&W Film Review
– The Retrocam
Instax Mini ran into a number of issues, the biggest being the lack of really good lenses. Shooting at ISO 800 means you won’t have the same opportunities as with ISO 400, 100 or 200. Plus, keep in mind that this is analog photography. The absolute best shots we’ve seen come from Steven Lloyd and Brock Saddler, who found ways to work with vintage cameras through a variety of simple and fun tricks. Manual control of aperture and shutter speed, combined with the ability to work with studio flashes, will be a godsend. But at the moment, it seems that no one from Fuji Instax wants to give us that opportunity.
So sad because the Instax Mini is essentially a 645 format.

Ease of use/Field notes
Loading film into the camera. You simply insert the film with the yellow label facing out, take a test shot to remove the black label, and you’re done. It’s as simple as 1, 2, 3. But where it really gets difficult in the end is in understanding how to work with it. And some of the cameras it’s designed for just don’t make it that easy to use. It’s not really a lack of film – it’s just like I love using the “pinhole” mode on the Diana F+ and I also like using the viewfinder when I attach an ND filter to create a “pinhole” effect. On top of that, cameras like the Mint TL70 often take lighting effects into a factor and make it quite difficult to expose a scene. You have control over the aperture, but that’s about it.
Studio flashes are also quite difficult to use with all these cameras, with the exception of the Diana F+. Paired with glass lenses, you get something a little more.
Instax Monochrome medium contrast black and white film. I wouldn’t describe it as high contrast or low contrast, it depends a lot on how you expose the scene. It’s easy to light up a scene, so if manual exposure is possible, I recommend lowering the f-number. Unfortunately, it will be difficult at first if you don’t know your camera’s shutter speed. It’s a little easier with Diana F+ because you know your shutter speed is always 1/60 and your aperture changes based on your settings. But again, film is quite difficult to work with simply because of the lack of suitable cameras available.
For my own purposes, I decided to use the camera with this film for portrait and pinhole shooting. If you understand a little about “pinhole”, then be sure to shoot on b / w cassettes. Portrait photography is also definitely suitable for this type of film. I firmly believe it’s a waste of time to load your camera with this film and just use it at parties. Color film does an excellent job of partying, but black and white makes you feel artistic emotions.
Because of all these variables, I recommend shooting in a fully controlled environment or in absolutely shitty weather. Some of the best pinholes are made in terrible weather. Some of these “pinholes” were made in terrible weather.
Image quality
Despite my doubts about the quality of Instax cameras, the film itself is very good. It’s capable of very detailed images, the shots are pleasing, and it’s just plain fun to work with instax black and white film. I strongly recommend it for “portrait photographers” because it is demanding on settings, but at the same time it stands out from other films in terms of quality.
Unlike the same Polaroid film, it is impossible to imagine that the monochrome tones of Instax cards will become sepia. The cards retain their black and white look and are really hard to make disappear. Plus, instax mini is a unique compact format that is appreciated in certain circles of photographers. It has a small size, which is very valuable for many photographers. To be fair, it must be said that the Polaroid film is a little bit different.
Pins
So do I like Fujifilm Instax Mini Monochrome 901 74? Yes. I think she is fantastic. Do I like the cameras for which it was created? No. Do other people like these cameras? Of course they love them. However, I dream of the day when I can attach my 120 mm f 2.
