In many ways, the Mint Instantflex TL70 Plus is my favorite camera that I’ve reviewed this year. In a 2023 dominated by a ton of digital cameras and cheap film cameras, this is a welcome respite. So I’m going to say a few words — and know that all of them describe this camera. TLR. Manual controls. Square Format Instax Film. Clear viewfinder. Optics that Mint finally got right. Simplicity. To a camera reviewer that’s been doing this for the 15 or so years that I have, it sounds like a dream. And to many photographers looking for something different, you’re going to fall in love here.
