I chose a number of images that I knew would be challenging to print and would cover the full spectrum of what you might shoot.

There's also print and apparel over at Society 6, currently showcasing over two dozen t-shirt designs and over a dozen unique photographs available for purchase. 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 time at the lab wondering how your images came out. Fuji professional quality instant film technology means accurate colour and sharpness with every frame, not to mention a unique and attractive way to take and share your photos.However, it’s easy to blow out the highlights, so if manual exposure is possible I recommend underexposing by around half a stop if possible. In a world full of colour, our black and white instant film offers not just a timeless quality to your memories, but also the chance to explore tone, contrast, shadow and composition. Indeed, the printer and film are able to reproduce this, at around 7 line pairs per mm or 300dpi and similar to a lab print. But I want to be able to deliver really beautiful portraits using this film and at the moment, I can’t exactly put my creating vision through with the cameras available.

At this resolution, I see significant lack of contrast, suggesting the film resolution may not stretch to Fujifilm’s claimed 12 lp/mm. Instax Mini has faced a number of problems with the biggest one being a lack of really great lenses and cameras being available. Low Key – high contrast low key image and I know where all the detail is and how far the light patches go into the shadows.The first move towards that was cameras that have a bit more manual control over the exposure–while the next was Fujifilm Instax Mini Monochrome. Chris's editorial work includes not only editing and scheduling articles but also writing them himself. Instax Mini Film Monochrome responds to the increasingly sophisticated demands of users, enabling them to expand the artistic potential of their photographic expression and adding a further dimension of fun to using instax cameras and films.

I have a set of 4 BW shots I printed on Color film (Conversion done outside of the instax share app) that I will be printing on the monochrome film. The Instax SP-2’s Instax Share app has a desaturation filter that gives results different to silver based black and white film, with blues, magentas and reds darkened and yellows paler. It’s not so strong that you’d say it’s not monochromatic, but it’s enough that EMULSIVE wrote that it goes green in the shadows and when an orange filter was used, the whole image came out green.As for my shots taken with this developer, they are all garbage, mainly because I had no way of knowing, and even when I zoned, my shutters were much too violent, inducing motion blur. The absolute best hacks that I’ve seen are from Steven Lloyd and Brock Saddler: who have found ways to make vintage cameras work with the film via hacks. I strongly recommend it for portrait photographers, because it requires a lot of control over the scene in general to truly make it shine out amongst all other films out there. 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.
