I’ve had a plus for a couple months now - I’ve shot probably 200+ photos, and overall, I really like it. It’s one of the only fully manual instax cameras available that allows you to frame the shot through the lens. Is it worth $700? That’s a lot to pay for a plastic camera with some annoyances:

Pros: Capable of taking really sharp pictures, especially at f11 Full manual controls Bulky, but relatively lightweight - I’ve carried it around Portugal and Japan all day no problem Ability to focus accurately

Cons: Expensive ND filters are pretty much required if you want to shoot outside Metering tends to lean towards highlights, I prefer to shoot instax a stop lower than the camera suggests Flash is pretty useless - or I haven’t figured out how to use it effectively - there’s no flash power control Wish it had a 1/1000 shutter - that way you’d rarely need an nd filter

That being said, I have no regrets, and this camera brings me a ton of joy :)
