I have this camera, and it requires patience to learn. The biggest issue is exposure due to the 800iso film, but with ND filters and skill using the lighten/darken function you can eliminate most over-exposure. The viewfinder becomes ok as well once you understand how it links to focus (include the dark area when shooting infinity, only use smaller bright area when shooting close). It is also terrific for shooting long exposures with the remote. Not a perfect camera by any means but it is Lomography after all. They make a living from plastic and usually difficult experimental cameras.

I think you had different expectations than what an instant camera can do!!! I have the camera and love it, if you just shoot for fun and not expect the same results as a modern digital!!! It';s more just a fun experience, which i do feel you did touch on ... I have used instant cameras since 1970 and love the magic to this day!!!

"It's about having fun" - This is such a true statement, I may never scale the giddy heights of being a professional photographer or have my own YT channel with ,000's of followers, my images may never make a ripple in a judging round of a prestigious photo competition but all of that is unimportant if my photography gives me pleasure. I loved those night shots of the traffic signals and street lights, with autumn approaching you have just given me a great idea for a shoot with a roll of nice grainy HP5+ in my OM2n. You should have taken the Blad out for these shoots, buying and getting a roll of 120 developed is cheaper. Great video thanks Thomas.

To train my eye (and I wholeheartedly agree it's fundamental), I photograph with my mid-range phone. And with it, I sometimes make photos that sell, so I do have some winners. But I make them with the included photo app, meaning I have very little control on what the camera makes. Other than the most important thing: composition. As for the instax, I have a printer that uses the same paper but I use it when I photograph a live gig, to offer the musicians a print just after they've finished their set. It's my way to thank them for the music and I love the big smiles I get every time I do that. The only gigs I photograph are in cafes and such, of musicians who seldom see the photos that have been made of them, not even digitally, certainly not printed. So, there's a bit of magic when I do hand them a piece of my work.

Thomas, I saved up my allowance back in 1970 and traded my Kodak 110 for a Polaroid and as being only 10-12 years old, I was limited on the amount of film I could buy. But I do remember the camera cost me $97.99 and if and when I could buy the film I bought it and shot it up!!! A ton of fun!!!!! I also loved the fact that I could buy the B&W for a few dollars less!!!! I just absolutely loved the whole thing of taking an image and pulling it out of the camera and pushing the button on the tiny timer that stuck on the camera to tell me when it was ready. Oh Thomas, a simpler time!!! Thanks!!!!!&

I've never gone down the instant film route, but the urge for simplicity, concentrating on composition, minimalism, and contrast, can also be approached in other ways - for example a medium format pinhole camera or a Holga. That "dead trees lake" is a location I often use when I have a new film camera or technique to try out - you've inspired me to return there to shoot some 4x5 paper negatives, which is my new favourite method.

This reminds me of the "pro-tog, crap camera" segment on (I can't remember which YT channel). There was always a professional photographer that had to shoot the whole day with some awful, cheap camera (Lego camera and Barbie camera come to mind). It always struck me that their shot on crap cameras were better than most amateurs with dslr's (myself included). It's all about skills and knowing the cameras strengths and limitations rather than the camera itself. And you have proven the point again! Not only did you capture some beautifully ethereal night shots in fog but even your misfire (ie minimalist tree branches emerging from the bottom of the image) is better than 2/3rds of my shots.

I have an old Polaroid 600 from 2000 with autofocus that I bought at a local photography store for 25€ later in 2019. The only thing I do with this camera is photographing my little niece, weather it‘s at a day trip/holiday journey or daily life. I know that not all photos are „good“ or even „perfect“ but I love to take photos of my niece which I can see quite instantly „printed“ in an analog format j(it takes about 15 minutes to view the film) and hang on my wall. I‘m at my fourth film pack now. The prize of about 2€ per image is a downer but over all I love every single photo I shoot with this camera.

I have had so so many failed shots with this camera, I would presume around 50% at first. Now, I take some of my favorite images on it. Some days I get a keeper-rate of 80-90%, but it has cost me time, money and nerves. The thrill for me is getting unique shots on a retro-style camera that offers a lot of customizability (focus, multiple-exposure, timer, bulb mode, remote control...). My best advice for anyone using this instant-camera is: never shoot into light, never shoot during high-contrast-situations (sunrise / sunset), and lastly learn the limitations and figure out how the light-meter and viewfinder "think" in order to adjust your shots accordingly

My daughter has the budget Instax camera... Absolute minimal controls. She wanted to take shots of clouds but they were all overexposed until she borrowed my ND filters. I had to hold it in front of the camera while she took the shot. It worked but it would have been hilariously funny watching us trying to capture it.

Great video as always! A month ago on holidays with my family I purchased an old Pentax Spotmatic F on a flee market in France for 30€. Lightmeter did not work (so sunny 16 had to help ;-). And I tried an AGFA APX 100 and took some shots in front of the Louvre. There was a short moment when an oldtimer passed by and I could only take two pictures. And I forced myself not to switch to my Nikon Z6. And the two pictures turned out absolutely great (in my eyes). So I can absolutely understand the feeling of limited possibilities. It must be even much more limiting with instant photos... Looking forward your calendar (and hope for the best ;-)

My wife has a Instax wide camera that she loves. It is mostly used for documenting our trips and probably a good 75% of the shots are just of us at places but occasionally is used for landscape style photography. It is properly good fun and there are a few shots that we have taken on it that I like more than the ones I took on my DSLR just because of how simple the format is and there is no "fixing" of anything later on. You get what you get and when it works it is a great feeling. The amount of under and over exposed images is crazy though, really wish metering was better on it as well.

Didn't someone (perhaps Edward Steichen in the 50s?) set out with a Brownie camera to show that one doesn't need fancy, high-end gear? His premise was that good photography comes from within the photographer's mind and eye. This video reminds me of that. If anyone out there knows anything about Steichen's experiment, I'd appreciate a link or reference. Thanks.

You could have gotten an actual Polaroid. They still make inexpensive instant cameras like the Go and the Now. Or, find either a vintage SX-70 or the Mint camera ($999 USD) that takes SX-70 film. I remember in the '70s, a number of artists (notably, Lucas Samaras) were taking Polaroid photos and manipulating the film emulsion with their fingers or other objects while the film was still wet. Maybe try that with your camera if it provides wet prints.

It’s fun to play with one of these kind of camera once in a while. I always carry a Polaroid camera while traveling. I find this form of photography is very good for iconic locations.

I like the Missfired shot.!... It is another genre in itself, something different but why not ? If it conveys a mood why say they are a failure, not especially. The flaws (blurred, overexposed, double exposure, no composition...) can be the strength of such a photography type. Trying something new is always refreshing, it boosts creativity, doesn't it ? When you know too well the rules, breaking them is also fun. I wouldn't apply the rules to polaroids, they are not meant for that in my opinion.

The last image had a few UFO's. As welll as before. I can see the pros and cons of film. Especially with a sketchy viewfinder. I can see how dust can cause problems. Ansel had a lower success rate with film. Even back then, a full format camera's film was expensive. You knew you were putting your money where your camera is. You get to the point where you ask yourself " Does it please my eye? Is everything there that I want in an image? Am I capturing the real story? I am 60 but I don't have the energy to do your B roll let alone the entire video. You inspire Thomas Heaton! Glad to witness your journey as I pursue mine.

Great video as always Thomas. I think perhaps one of the key reasons for your low keeper-rate with this Lomo camera is simply that the genre of landscape photography is not suited to a camera like this! Given that landscape photography is a highly technical and specific art form, you ideally need to be shooting with something that can guarantee accurate focus, depth of field, exposure and framing. All of which are lacking in this instant camera! Probably cameras like this are better suited to more 'snapshot' photography with a single subject (maybe a portrait) at close quarters in the centre of the frame ...

For a proficient photographer, I'd suggest using fully manual instant cameras like Mint SF70+ or NONS SL660, because while still having a poor light meter (compared to DSLR), they at least allow to use external light meter or use eye & sunny 16 without getting in the way of the creative process.

I have a Polaroid One-Step+, and while it also has it's quirks, I feel like the framing is pretty easy and I consistently get a better rate of good or even great exposures. I love the look of the Lomography Instant Square, but you're not the only person on KZfaq to mention these frustrations. It seems better to avoid of that specific camera and go for one of the better options on the market. Maybe they'll address some of these issues in a future upgraded version. Some of the FujiFilm Instax cameras get good reviews. I'd like to try out a few of those at some point.

I bought an old Instax wide 210 a little while back and I love it! Film is expensive, and hard to even find at the moment, but the results and the experience make it worth it!
