I love the creative constraints of film, but I also like instantaneousness of digital. Instax strikes a nice balance between the two imo, though I'll likely eventually get into film. I don't know a ton about Polaroid history, but I believe instant camera SLRs are not that common? Combine that with that fact that the NONS SL660 supports interchangeable lenses, and I think it's a one of a kind camera - correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway, I'm excited to unlock the secrets of this camera.

Also, shoutout to this beautiful mini monstera.

That's a cool device. Honestly I'm kinda the other way around. I have plenty of film cameras now and also some digital ones, but no instant film. From what I've seen it's often quite sensitive to over- or underexposure. Also, instant film cameras are often quite bulky looking. It's the kinda thing I'd like to take to a party or festival, but compared to a digital or film point-and-shoot it's often much larger and heavier.

I am struggling a bit with dialing in the exposure. It feels like one stop is too dark, and the next is too bright. I can’t decide if I prefer to under or over expose.

Under exposing seems to capture more detail, but I think over exposing might look better.

Here are some more photos:

Those are some neat pictures tho. Very contrasty but definitely a vibe
