I wouldn’t describe it as high contrast or low contrast–but instead it depends on a lot on how you expose the scene. As far as pinholes are concerned, you should only ever do black and white unless you’re very good at what you do.

I’ve long recommended Fuji Instax Mini films for people who are looking to bring some instant film magic to gatherings like weddings and parties.

Fujifilm Instax Color is much like that, but with less dynamic range, latitude, subtlety and overall charm. Very much unlike anything that the Impossible project offers, this film doesn’t turn Sepia after a while. EDUCATION: Chris graduated Magna Cum Laude from Adelphi University with a degree in Communications in Journalism in 2009. This versatile ISO 800 film features neutral grey tonality combined with natural contrast and highlight response that helps it to capture vivid monochrome images under daylight or studio lighting. I have yet to see any camera that can use Instax film render lines so fine, so the film isn’t the limiting factor.

I’ve been testing this film too (I got mine two days ago) and am coming to pretty much the same conclusions so far even though I haven’t done as extensive a test as you did. LONG-TERM STABILITY Resulting from improved emulsion, development accelerators and development control technology, your images will be colour-true for years. Like the standard colour instax mini film, the monochrome version ensures sharp and clear images, but by producing a black and white image, the photographer is given the freedom to accentuate the tone, texture and emotion in their images. This film is specially designed to work with Fujifilm Instax Mini camera series, Instax share printers, and smartphone printers.In my uses, I decided to put this camera through the paces with portraiture and pinhole work–exactly what I’d use instant black and white film for to begin with. You may expect to get better images from a more advanced model, but I’m not sure even the 90 Neo Classic is all that much better.

LONG-TERM STABILITY Resulting from improved emulsion, development accelerators and development control technology, your images will be colour-true for years. Each pack contains 10 shots of high quality credit-card sized photos that you can fit into a purse, wallet or mini photo frame. Instax Monochrome Mini film encourages users to develop their artistic potential, with striking tone, texture and emotion with every shot, offering crisp, clean, striking black and white shots in an instant. However, be aware there are some colours that don’t translate correctly into monochrome, so in certain circumstances, you may be better off using Instax Color and desaturating in post-production.Depending on whether you go with a Polaroid or Fuji Instax camera, there will be different formats to choose from. We use Royal Mail for the majority of our consignments aside from large and oversized items which many come via an alternative carrier. Then, and only then, would I be able to create an image that I’m really ever so truly proud of with this film. Perhaps the range is a little better than Color, but improved highlight detail is partly because Monochrome is slightly slower than Color and neither the printer nor any of the cameras adjust for this.

Using the Instax Share SP-2 printer gets around problems such as poor camera metering, bad focus, poor optics and lighting colour temperature. Another alternative is the ‘Intelligence’ filter, which increases contrast, darkens mid-tones and sharpens the image to generally punch it up a few notches.One thing to note is that contrast is very high with this film, far higher than Fuji Instax color films.
