I'm more interested in this than any lenses or camera bodies atm.

I have a LG Pocket Photo printer, which is cheaper to print on and the actual print size is larger 3" X 2" corner to corner (compared to SP1); however, it is slow to print, and can not print direct from camera, the image has to be copied to tablet/phone first.

It does have a recargable battery, but it can only print about 10 photographs before requiring a re-charge.

 

The print quality of the zero ink paper is ok, but from what i've seen, the SP1 is a little better, however if the SP2 has the following it will be on my list of things to buy (near the top):

 

1:- Direct Printing from camera (I expect this)

2:- Decent battery length (30+ photos)

3- Priced similar to SP1 (competitively to competition)

4 - Film priced competitively (ideally less than 50p a photograph)

5- larger print (not a deal breaker, but would be nice)

but will it work with Fuji-x cameras?
​I can't find confirmation anywhere

 

(Then again I can't find confirmation that the SP1 supports Fuji-x on the SP1 page, you can on the cameras pages though )

It's buried in my X-E2 manual V4.00 (EN p. 123), but connection instructions for Instax printers are there. There is note that says "The area printed is smaller than the area visible in the LCD monitor." Which means there is a mandatory crop and you can't control it. No exposure/color controls. No templates. Good to know it can be done, but I think I'd rather use my phone or iPad to edit before printing.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By Giampaolo Masserano · Posted

      I use a TECHART ring to mount Canon EF lenses on the GFX 50S-II and 100S-II, maintaining image stabilization and autofocus. The only limitation are lenses with a small rear element diameter that make it impossible to cover medium format. Fast lenses like the EF 85/1.2L or the 100-400L, however, work great.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By jerryy · Posted

      Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.
