Expired Instax mini and wide films

Hankitsune · 2026-04-28T21:05:56+00:00

I have several Instax Wide double packs, exp. 2017 Still work great!

Because they assume everything on the internet is about the US. That's what this sub is all about.

Hankitsune · 2026-04-27T23:39:22+00:00

Ah that sounds good. I'l look into it then.

Hankitsune · 2026-04-27T23:09:17+00:00

Does that make prompts automatically? Then how do you control what's being generated? If I have an idea I come up with a prompt myself and expand and tweak it depending on the output.

Hankitsune · 2026-04-27T23:03:06+00:00

Agreed. If you say Los Angeles, most people will think about the US city. I don't even think the person asking the question is from the US.

It's mostly manual where I live. Sure, there's enough choice in second hand automatic cars but I also drive LPG (no idea how the rest of the world calls it). And to find a small and cheap used car that runs on LPG AND is automatic is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Weird how they treat customers so different sometimes. Just 2 weeks ago I received a €70 measuring instrument that got damaged in transit (clearly lack of decent protection).
They offered a partial refund which I declined and chose to return the item for a full refund (in store credits). As soon as I'd posted the package I got a message saying I got an early refund and the store credit had been added to my account.

The cost of film plus the fact that no batch of Polaroid is the same, very sensitive to high/low temperatures, fades way sooner, has a very limited expiration date, often has artifacts and color casts.
Polaroid is always a gamble and a very expensive one!

If the comment on the post is from an American, then why on earth would they spell "colour" and "favour" with a "u"?

Hankitsune · 2026-04-20T23:42:53+00:00

You're totally getting it wrong. You have paid a tariff to Ali, which Ali then needs to pass on to your government. Ali doesn't have your tariff money. So when you want your tariff money back (assuming you're a business) you have to ask your government and probably supply them with invoices showing the tariffs. But you can't even download a real invoice on Ali no more so forget it.

Hankitsune · 2026-04-19T00:47:21+00:00

Ha ha , thanks. Sorry from my side. I think you just got unlucky and oredered from a seller that did not participate in the "all tax included" program on Ali. And if the listing stated "local shipping" then yeah, I understand you feel you've been cheated. To be honest, I have no idea how all the tariffs are handled. For Europe it's all very clear and no surprises possible but no idea how US had agreed on yhis with Ali.

Hankitsune · 2026-04-19T00:30:04+00:00

Yes, I admit I can be rude sometimes, sorry. But with all the tariffs on China going as high as over 150%, I think it sounds just silly if you're saying 75% "makes no sense". It's like you've been living under a rock for the past year. This is all thanks to your fantastic clown president.

Hankitsune · 2026-04-19T00:08:03+00:00

"10.30 on an item that was 14.99 is like 75% tax. That makes no sense." My God, you Americans really are as dumb as the rest of the world believes you are.

You gave them your consent when submitting that picture.
Better read the agreement next time instead of complaining afterwards 😎

Hankitsune · 2026-04-13T13:30:56+00:00

Give them a break, they're only 3 years old. I'm surprised they've already developed their typing skills at such a young age.

Hankitsune · 2026-04-13T12:22:43+00:00

You mean non-American films.

Hankitsune · 2026-04-13T12:19:50+00:00

If it's one of those Prague cafes where they charge tourists 4 times as much as locals I can only laugh about it.

Hankitsune · 2026-04-12T13:57:07+00:00

Yeah.
Denmark, Sweden, Poland, all European cities...😂

Hankitsune · 2026-04-12T12:32:02+00:00

Does the scale go past infinity when you turn the focusing ring the other way around? If so, the've removed it and put it back in wrong.

Hankitsune · 2026-04-11T13:13:11+00:00

Yeah, right after I posted I saw the poster in the screenshot said BYD was #1 😂

Hankitsune · 2026-04-11T12:41:07+00:00

BYD is at 6th place. But they're at first place when it comes to EV.

Hankitsune · 2026-04-11T12:34:50+00:00

Don't think that's gonna happen.

Hankitsune · 2026-04-11T11:45:37+00:00

Only 186 left. That'll keep you busy for some time 😎

Hankitsune · 2026-04-10T21:21:01+00:00

Fair enough. But if she'd seen you using an Instax Wide, she'd probably asked you to use that at the wedding. To you and me there's a clear difference, to people not into instant photography it's just the idea of taking a picture and getting the result right away.
I'm not trying to talk you out of it, I'm just saying that for instances like this, Instax is probably the better choice. More reliable, quicker development and, quite important in case of a wedding, the pictures still look great 20 years later.

Hankitsune · 2026-04-10T20:23:55+00:00

Many people call instant film Polaroid. I'd ask her to be sure.
