Overview

Rediscover the Magic of the Printed Photograph-Without the Frustration.You remember the joy of photography. You remember the anticipation of waiting for a print, the smell of the chemistry, and the tangible weight of a memory you could hold in your hand. The Fujifilm Instax Mini brings that magic back, but let's face it: the instruction manual included in the box was written for a teenager, printed in microscopic text, and folded like an origami map.
