I’m looking into getting an instant camera. I was drawn to the Fujifilm Instax cameras but it looks like the instant film for it can come out to $2 a photo which is pretty expensive imo.
I want this to take small color photos for journaling/scrapbooking/logging and may need to take a lot of photos at once (i.e. logging results of glazes on a ton of test tiles).
Also I don’t really care if it’s true analog or a digital camera that just prints out, but it does need to be color.
Anyone have any good reccs?
As an alternative to buying your own printer, if you can cope with the delay, there’s many firms out there that will do really nice prints from digital photos at surprisingly low costs, delivered pretty fast.
Give how much I’ve wasted on unused colours of ink and printers just breaking entirely, that is how I now do the few photos I want hard copies of.
In passing, if taking shots to record precise colours (you mention glazes), I hope you’ve worked out you want some known colour reference cards or the like in every shot - nothing, whether digital or film, is going to give you accurate colours or luminance without post-processing.
