Hi Ben, thank you so much for your review on our InstantFlex TL70! We love your videos!

[JacobCarlson]

I've always been SO interested in MiNT's instant cameras but they are so freaking expensive. That Instantkon RF70... woof!

[nothin]

I bought one after watching this video and I have to say it’s the MOST fun camera I have ever used, the quirks mean that it’s not always the most functional option but they also make using it an interesting balancing act and overall fun experience. Keep doing what you’re doing Ben!

I have been in love with TLR cameras for a while. I might buy this for my first TLR

when the intro song comes on, I just start jamming and dancing. ahhhh. instant film TLR, I'm here for it !!

[Gee]

Few things... (1) you mentioned the intimate nature of TLRs, and that made me think that should be branded as “the cameras for romantics”, (2) that vignetting tho, and (3) love the Dharma Initiative Easter eggs your videos.

I think I watched the first second 40 times. So satisfying. And that little musical jingle. Perfection.

I didnt get this EXACT one but i got a vintage Argus Aeroflex E from 1940-46 and im doing a slow restoration on it. They still make the 120 type film so im so excited to start shooting!

the way I got good Exposure everytime is I added a 4-stop ND filter that cover Both the lens and metering sensor ( mines is 67mm since i got lot of lenses with 67mm), I always leave my f-stop to 5.6 (even on very sunny day) to get the most blur background and no vignetting . This will force the camera to be - 4stop, f5.6, iso800, 1/500 shutter speed*the fastest the camera could be* which is the same as sunny 16 rule. Also, I dont uses focus screen to get focus but I use distance wheel and meter is range with my Digital camera.

this is going to be my Christmas present this year

Holy hell, just watching this and then randomly see the Dutchess Center sign, had no idea you were up this way! Small world!

[RukayaCesar]

Another amazing video! I would love to shoot with the Mint cameras one day. I haven't used a TLR camera since school but loved the experience of it, really makes you slow down and think about the shot. Probably not the easiest on the go camera but the photos you took with it are gorgeous!

Ben, YOU are an object of tremendous beauty that also happens to take instant pictures.

[StrllaMarr]

Nice review! This camera is still in my shopping camera list in spite of the few cons.

[Incdvideo]

Like Your video . Happy You pointed out ALL the Pros and Cons . Thank You .

[jesslee]

man, I gotta say you make fabulous videos for instant cameras. I bought lomo instant wide, TL70, and lomo instant square after watching your videos. I got out of film cameras due to the increased price of the 35mm films, and now I'm spending more money on Instax films and cameras lol
