Instax Mini 8

Today I received my Fujifilm Instax Mini 8! I've wanted one of these instant / polaroid cameras for a very long time, and never realized how affordable they really are. I finally bit the bullet, and got one on amazon.

I've had entirely too much fun, and I'm wasting all of my film. But it's worth it! I'll work on getting a full review of it up in the next week or two. 

My goal is use some weekly photos in my journal to bring it to life. I've always taped in movie stubs and tickets, but I'm excited to put in some cute, mini photos!

  1. This looks like a lot of fun :) May be a bit offtopic: but where did you get those glasses? They look so cute!

    1. They're from Coach. I believe they're called the Dakotah's, I picked them up at my local eye doctor since they're prescription!

    How much does film cost?
    I would love to own it and start creating project life with it. :)

    1. Ankica,

      The film is a little more expensive, it averages out to around $0.76 a print, compared to $0.26 for a 4x6 at Walgreens. But I think it's worth it, and I only incorporate around 1 - 2 of these in a weekly Project Life spread.

      If you're going to purchase film I would do so on Amazon.com. I've seen the film in my local Michaels, but it's almost twice as expensive. Here's a like to the film on Amazon. Oh, the cameras are half the price on Amazon also!
