I still find it rather funny that the whole imaging segment is actually not loosing too much money thanks to the sales of Instax related products.

 

Not sure I would like to be in the shoes of the head of R&D department when he needs to go and negotiate budget for new lens/camera.

Might be, they're all women in my case.

Ok. My nieces have them too. Easy to buy presents for them. They get so thrilled when I pass them refill boxes. Mind you, they ain't cheap....in the long run.

 

However, the prints last a surprising number of years without fade.

I didn't get the instax hype either - until I bought one.

 

It's an incredible experience handing out those prints. I'd recommend every X Shooter to give the SP1 printer a trial

 

Tempted.....

 

I'll carry my X-Pro and instax as back up. :lol:

 

No seriously, I know what you mean.

I was at a wedding last week as second shooter, my SP1 printer was quite the attraction of a lot of the ppl around.

 

In a world more and more often digital, almost nobody print pictures anymore. Even my own wedding pictures are not printed in a book. So when you hand out something physical there is something really novel about it. It feels good to have something small and durable and you can just put up on your fridge as memorabilia.

At weddings, events, parties the instax printer is one of the highlights. People just love printed pictures (especially instant film). The most funny part is, when they photograph their instax prints, and put in on facebook/instagram :D

I have more friends that have those than real cameras, all in their 20's and all female though.

 

Good to know, thanks. I daren't generalize here but most of my female friends, nieces included love instant results and rather not fuss about more "complicated" real cameras. Either that or the smartphones....

What an excellent idea! It's perfect for shooting in remote regions. The novelty will have 'em pose beautiful shots!

 

Ok. Now I'm convinced with the instax printer. Will get one. ;)

      gimbals (& threads getting spammed)

      By jshire · Posted

      Hi, I'm researching a gimbal to get someone as a present & they use a Fuji XS-10. I did a quick search of previous threads on gimbals but all of them seem to either get no replies or spammed by a link to an Amazon list. I'd appreciate any comments from folks who've actually used specific gimbals with the XS-10. I'm aware that some, such as certain models from Zhiyun, DJI & FeiyuTech either don't say that they are fully compatible with the XS-10 but other sites say they do work ok but some functions don't. It's quite difficult to work out which functions work & which don't. Thanks.

      A portrait with a 28mm lens

      By DavidJohn · Posted

      This was snapped during a lunch.  Total shooting time—a few seconds. We so often read that a proper "portrait" should be snapped with a longer than normal lens, a low ISO to get lots of detail, and have a soft light held up above the head, and slightly to the side. The key, in my opinion, is always carry a camera.  Have your camera available to capture candid, authentic photographs.  Available light, no posing.   This portrait used 2000 ISO, the lens wide open at f4, and 1/100 sec. to stop any movement.  I didn't even take time to compose—I just snapped.  I leave the "Face Detection" on unless I'm photographing a landscape or subject other than a person. The GFX100RF has the equivalent of a 28mm lens.  The large sensor renders fine detail even at fairly high ISO ratings.  And the drawing of the lens is just perfect in my opinion.  It was set to B & W, with slightly reduced sharpness and clarity (set in-camera).  Ideal for "portraits."  Now, for some subjects I will likely increase the sharpness and clarity to the normal setting.  The camera is new, and I'm still experimenting with it.
