A new camera.

Woah I need to slow down. After a brief period of inner struggle and strife it is time for some changes. One of them is taking on a different way of observing and photographing. I've decided to spend some more time doing analogue photography, with an instant camera. Instant fun/gratification + considered photography = pleasant distraction + switching current train of thought. So today I finally picked up a camera that I've had my eye on for quite a while. It's MASSIVE. This handsome heavily built bastard's name is Fuji Instax 210. Fuji released it sometime last summer and it's the latest member of the Instax family. This wide brother is superb, for an instant camera anyway. (See last 3 images below for images found on Flickr.) It has the same features as it's predecessor Instax 200 but this limited -?- edition's professional black rather than ugly grey/blue. It comes with a strap, a 45 CM close-up lens, 1 pack of Fuji Instax wide color film and 4 AA batteries. It has 2-zone focus, low light auto-flash and a handy LCD screen to display settings. It produces images of 99mm x 62mm. If you're thinking of buying one yourself, don't get it from the lomo shop. Just hit Tottenhamcourt Road or Ebay and get it for half the price. As far as films go, Ebay is the way; £25 for 40 films makes this medium almost affordable :) -x-
