With retro becoming cool again, we are seeing more and more instant cameras coming into the market. The InstantFlex TL70 would have been just another camera in that pile except for the fact that it is a Twin Lens Reflex camera.
The camera is beautifully designed to look like a Rolleiflex, and it uses the same diffusion screen mechanism to frame and focus your shots.
Mint, the Hong Kong company behind the TL70 is also focused on refurbishing old Polaroids and keeping them alive, so they have some experience with both instant film and camera internals.
The camera is compatible with Instax’s 54×86 film and features varying apertures, a built in flash and limited control over exposure.
