    I'd like to buy the mini 40 but my issue with this culture is the price for the mini film. I like it and i recently saw a good price somewhere.

    • @eyeofalchemy

      It's really good. If you're worried about the prices of the mini film, I recommend waiting for sale prices at your local stores or even online, and buy a couple packs in bulk. Ebay sometimes have crazy deals. I've seen like 10 packs go for something like $50 sometimes.

    My pics turn out way overexposed… any tips on how to get better exposure? Cover flash??

    • @eyeofalchemy
      @eyeofalchemy  Рік тому +3

      You could do that, but I could give you a few alternatives too. 1 - Tape an ND filter to the front face of the lens so you cut a couple stops of light. 2 - Cut a piece of ND gel and do the same thing, it's just a bit tidier haha. 3 - If you're handy and on the go, you could literally just hold your sunglasses's one lens in front of the camera lens and it'll do the same thing, plus you might get some fun results from it too depending on the type of shades you have. Hope this helps!

      I didn’t have this issue with the Instax 9. I’m loving the look of the instax 40 but miss the exposure adjustments.

    The drawback with the instant cameras has already been the small shot capacity of the film cartridges so you have to be selective with your shots years ago I used a Polaroid 600 series that was probably which was at the time one of the best instant cameras made as it was cheap but good quality
    But in their newer models Polaroid have become stingy with their film size and reduced it to 8 shots per cartridge I've always liked instant cameras and think if I am going to get a modern up to date one even though I grew up with Polaroid Fuji is now the way to as their films are cheaper and the cameras like the mini 40 with the vintage style look a lot less than a kids camera which the mini 11 12 and pal look like

      Yeah I like the ones that look like actual cameras too lol. If you want a bit more features, the Neo Classic is also really good!

    half of my picture comes out pure black, do you think this is a defect on the camera or did i just use a bad batch of the film?

    • @eyeofalchemy
      @eyeofalchemy  2 роки тому +1

      From what you're telling me, it seems that you probably have an expired pack of film!

      I'm not sure if you're asking about how to transfer images to your phone from your camera, but if you are, the answer is that you can't. This is a completely analogue camera.
