Used this for a Polaroid printer which I received as a gift. I think they’re expensive for how many you get, but that’s always to be expected for polaroids plus I genuinely love the photos I print using them. Instructions are clear to use and never had any problems. Would recommend.
So I’ve ordered this film a few times now and it’s been perfect, unfortunately this particular packet something has gone wrong? I don’t believe I pressed the film (exposing it to light) when I put it in the camera as I’m always so careful not to, yet the photos are coming out like this. Will still buy in future, hoping this is just a one off
It is what it is. Expensive but other than polaroid products fairly unique, especially in this time of everybody viewing images digitally. Can be used to make some nice little prints, but colours and dynamic range are much less than on screen or conventional prints. Has it’s place, I just wish it were a bit cheaper.
When looking for a Polaroid camera I wanted to maintain the original square photo’s from the timeless classics whilst having a camera that wasn’t too bulky. I committed to find a happy medium and acquired the Instax SQ6 by Fujifilm. The prints are smaller than I expected, which I should have measured for myself but the quality met my expectations to a high level. This is not to say the pictures have the greatest quality if I were to compare it with my phone camera but of course that’s not what you should be expecting. The images have a lack of sharpness, high contrast ratio and a slightly degraded saturation but do they live up that vintage nostalgia and artistic flair of capturing an emotion suspended in time. For me, it was a hard yes. If you’re thinking of casual way to enjoy a poloroid then I’d recommend the set up I chose.
My only disappointmentment was with the packaging. It should have been contained in a cardboard box for protection as they have a fragile nature to them, instead a sparsly bubble wrapped linned envelope not ideal for over-sea shipping. The actual contents arrived with a torn box and dents in the orginal foil seal for the film, which I suspected to be dents caused by a person’s fingers as they gripped the product heavy handedly. However, this could have most likely been caused on the courier route or even inspected by customs. Not to be said, it could have been avoided with more appropriate packing methods and greater attention to detail. Fortunately the film is still working fine, thankfully.
Overall great product but poor delivery.
Thank you
Bought three packets and have opened and used one of the first packet and don’t seem to have any issues as other people have described.
Have got two more packets so will update if this changes.
The photo was blurry when others haven’t come out blurry. Hoping this is just a bit of dodgy lighting and not the film itself but time will tell. Again, I will update in due course.
Downside:
– it is still so expensive.
this time, given the particularity of the treated article, I would like to make a “review / comparison” between the two rivals of instant photography: Polaroid with its classic square films and FujiFilm with its new Instax Square.
I consider this comparison necessary for anyone thinking of approaching this type of photography because I find the two types of films extremely different, in terms of type, size, color fidelity and prices.
Of course in the video (which you can find on my YouTube channel) I show examples, so you can evaluate whether to buy these films or a different type, based on your needs.
As for Polaroid we have:
PRO
– photo size;
– card quality;
-At the end of development you will have the exact same photos of “when we were children”;
-compatibility with many cameras of the brand, including the “old” vintage that you may already have in the attic.
– great variety of frames, many are the colors available for the frames.
VERSUS
-high price;
-8 shots instead of 10;
-colors (naturally) not faithful to reality but more “dull”;
– high development times (15 minutes);
– impractical mode of conservation.
As for Fuji we have:
PRO
– convenient price (about 1 euro each pose);
– color and print quality;
– development time of only 90 seconds;
– simpler storage and longer film expiration;
– they are used by different brands, if you don’t like Fuji cameras, like Lomography, Leica or Jollylook.
VERSUS
– although they are larger than the Instax Mini, they are still smaller than the Polaroids;
– less vintage image, the photo tends to look modern.
– you will fill the house with these photographs and friends will ask you to always give them one 😀
I hope this review/comparison, a bit anomalous, could be useful and helpful in case of purchase or indecision on which films to use.
If you have any questions do not hesitate, I will answer you as soon as possible.
A hug and see you at the next review.
Good shopping.
downloaded the app charged the battery inserted the film with the yellow dots lining up took a pic with phone opened it in app after pairing and printed all worked straight away. Pic ejects within 5 secs but then takes a good 60 secs before an image appears and then almost 10 minutes before the pic is fully developed. The app software doesnt give you massive control over the images and the square pics are still noticeably smaller than the polaroid equivalent and the printed image is considerably cropped from the original image displayed on the phone and is also cropped from that shown in the print app. Images a bit softer than on phone and not as much contrast but reasonable. So only 6.5/10
SIZE: The size is between the usual Business-Card sized ones of the standard Instax film, and not quite as big as the Instax Wide.
Basically, put 2 of the business-card sized ones together and THAT’S the size – it is not the same size as the Original Polaroid / Impossible film,
(But the results are 1000x better than the Impossible film, eg: not super sensitive to *Everything* – light, temperature, colours, etc).
Plus this is pretty much the same price as the standard Instax film, which is great, as it means it’s actually Affordable, unlike the Impossible film which is Very expensive, for only 8 in a pack versus the 10 here.
Fuji has REALLY done a good job here with this camera and film size/format.
