The Instax is an instant film format by Fujifilm that was introduced in the 1990s. There are two versions – the original ‘Instax’ – a wide version which gives a picture size of 60mm x 99mm (with the film being 108mm x 86mm), and the ‘Instax Mini’ – a smaller version which gives a picture size of 62mm x 46mm (with the film being 86mm x 54mm).
One of the main differences between the Instax and Polaroid integral instant film is that the battery is not integrated inside the film, so in comparison it is more economical to make.
