Instantkon SF70 Product Story
The Vintage Instant Camera "SX-70" was invented about 48 years ago, but it is still loved by celebrities, artists and camera lovers around the world and is the most famous camera among the vintage instant cameras.It is recognized.
▲ Vintage Instant camera "SX-70"
Mint was founded in Hong Kong in 2009 and is a manufacturer of instant cameras with its own vision, focusing on research and development of instant cameras for over 10 years.The predecessor is a camera specialty store that mainly sells and repairs vintage instant cameras and accessories, and can be said to be an "expert" in this genre.And Mint, who has accumulated many years of experience and know-how for a total of 10,000 units for 10 years, has been accumulated for many years ...
"If MINT has the technology and 10 years of experience
An instant camera that can be approached to the "SX-70"
It may be possible to create!?]
by mint
◼︎ In fact, the hurdles were quite high ...
If Mint would create a new instant camera from zero, I thought that I had to pick up the excellent part of the "SX-70" and develop a new product while incorporating it with the original idea.In addition, I thought that an instant camera must be a specification that can meet modern needs.
With such thoughts, the "Instantkon SF70" was born over a long time.
Regarding the product name, "Instant" is an instant, and "KON" is a camera called "the world's first spring camera (commonly known as a bellows camera)" released by Zeiss Icon in Germany in the 1920s.In inspiration from IKONTA."SF" is an acronym for the square format, and "70" is an inspiration from the SX-70, a masterpiece of Polaroid, which is the starting point of Mint.
"Instantkon SF70" is a snake -type instant camera compatible with square format.

Instantkon SF70 Function introduction
Fighting like a classic camera.
You can enjoy a tasteful "shooting" with an optimized design while coexisting nostalgia and newness, such as a classic look, nostalgic gimmick, customized shutter speed, and six -level aperture control.
6 -stage aperture control
With 6 -stage aperture adjustment, you can enjoy the difference in depth of field.Some people call it "blur taste".
▪Photo: Antony Hands
The "Instantkon SF70" can be adjusted to F/5.6, F/6.7, F/8, F/11, F/16, F/22, a total of six -level aperture (F value).The maximum aperture value F/5.6 is equivalent to F/2.4 equivalent to 35mm conversion, and you can enjoy a photo with a flashing background like a single -lens reflex camera.By combining the shortest shooting distance of 75cm and the maximum aperture value of F/5.6, a phenomenal shallow of 4.9 cm in the field of field can be realized, and you can enjoy shooting for a wide range of applications.
14 kinds of shutter speed control
By adjusting the shutter speed, you can control the amount of light that hits the film more accurately and take the picture you want.
The "Instantkon SF70" has 14 kinds of shutter speed and can be adjusted according to the situation at the time of shooting.Depending on the environment, you can shoot without flash by adjusting the shutter speed even in dark places.
Bellows (jabara) specifications
The bellows (javaras) are partly adopted in the old film cameras, and do not increase the size and weight of the camera by providing a light -shielding space in the camera body that can expand and contract between the film and the lens., A wide -angle shooting from the past with a compact size.In addition, as the back focus becomes longer, the depth of the subject will be shallow even with the same F -number.
The bellows (javaras) of "Instantkon SF70" are handmade carefully made by craftsmen.In addition, when folded in conjunction with the power switch, when folded, the setting of "power is turned off" when expanded is also convenient with a new feeling.
Nostalgic metal "winding lever"
To discharge the film in the camera, a general instant camera has a film emission button.The "Instantkon SF70" is a mechanism in which the film is drained by turning the "winding lever" (film device lever) instead of the film emission button.
On the "winding lever" is a shutter button, a retro design reminiscent of an old film camera with an integrated structure.Since the shutter is not linked to the film emission function, there is no limit on the number of shutters for one photo, so you can freely "multiple exposure".In order to enhance durability, a luxurious metal shutter button and lever have been adopted.
Range finder of realist image
The "Instantkon SF70" is equipped with "Viewfinder (Large Finder Window in the photo above)" and "Range Finder (Small Finder Window)" for focus adjustment.It is a method that is being held.
When you look into the "rangefinder" for focus adjustment, there is a place where the statue looks double in the middle in the middle.One of the double -visits is linked to the focusing ring of the lens, and when the focusing ring is turned, the first statue moves left and right, and the focus is adjusted by stacking it with another image.It is also called "double image matching".
You can see if the "Instantkon SF70" that uses this specification is focused before the shutter is released.
Convenient ambient light sensor
Press the shutter button of the "Instantkon SF70" halfway to the ambient light (commercial light) sensor mounted on the camera table measuring the brightness of the surrounding light, and whether it is brightly suitable for the shooting status (LED light).) Will let you know.If the shutter setting is "Auto", it automatically adjusts the shutter speed that matches the detected brightness.
撮影に適している場合、LEDランプが緑色に点灯します。明るすぎ、暗すぎる場合、赤色に点灯します。また、撮影時周辺が明るすぎる場合、赤色で知らせてくれると同時に推奨の「MiNT ND（減光）フィルター（別売り）」の種類が液晶画面※で表示されます。
* Normally, the LCD screen displays the remaining number of films and battery capacity.
Combination of "manual" and "auto"
The "Instantkon SF70" is designed to be enjoyable for a wide range of users.It can also be set for the shutter speed in the "auto" mode.

3 types of ND filters (sold separately)
The ND filter is an abbreviation of Neutral Density, which is also called a "dimming filter".It is a filter that remove only the light amount instead of changing the color of the light.The numbers attached to the back of the ND are numbers indicating how much light to pass.ND2 can reduce the amount of light to one -half, ND4 can reduce the amount of light to one -quarter, and the ND8 can reduce the amount of light to one -eighth.The larger the number, the darker filter.
Mint ND filters are three types of ND2, ND4, and ND8.By reducing excess light that enters the camera, it is possible to prevent the exposure of film in a bright sunlight.Since the instant film ISO is 800, it is a useful item for shooting on a sunny day.
