For anyone looking for an instant camera that will produce nostalgic prints and have the retro style fits, the new Instax Mini 40 from Fujifilm could be right on your alley.
In essence, the $ 100 Instax Mini 40 is essentially a Instax Mini 11, but with an updated design that spoils back to the days when social media meant going around a stack of Polaroid images.
This oneThe design is quite simple, having a 35 mm retractable lens and an automatic exposure function that calls in the camera settings so that it is not necessary. In addition to the shutter button and built-in flash, the only other major feature of the Mini 40 is the ability to take out the camera lens, which shortens the focal length of the camera so you can turn the camera and take selfies easily. Fujifilm even includes a small mirror on the front of the camera, so you can compose selfies without the need for a screen.
After taking a photo, the camera spits out a photo that will develop into approx 90 seconds, and the room is able to hold up to 10 photos at a time. However, you may not be disappointedt la you receive too shutter-happy, because The cost of the Instax Mini movie about $ 15 for a pack of 20 movies and it’s pretty easy for an extended photo shoot to get expensive quickly. In addition, Fujifilm said the two AA batteries that power the Instax Mini 40 should take about 100 photos before they need to be replaced.

Along with the new Instax Mini 40, Fujifilm is also launching a new retro-inspired instant “Contact Sheet” (seen below), featuring a black (instead of white) border with orange letters to really give that70s and ‘Aesthetics of the 80s.
So while it may not be the most efficient or advanced way to take a photo, Fujifilm’s new Instax Mini 40 seems like a fun and relatively affordable way to recapture the magic of yesterday’s instant cameras. TThe Mini 40 goes on sale this month.
