Fuji Instax Wide Monochrome
Instax Wide is the second of the Instax line of films created by Fuji. The Wide format was first introduced in 1999, a year after the introduction of Instax Mini. Instax Wide film comes in packs that are loaded into the camera, similar to Polaroid film. Upon exposure, the sheet is ejected from the camera and develops within minutes. Initially, Instax Wide was only available as a color film, but following the strong reception of Instax Mini Monochrome film in 2016, Fuji expanded the Wide format with a monochrome film option in 2017.
Fuji Instax Wide Monochrome film produces an image that is 99mm x 62mm, which itself is surrounded by a white border, bringing the full film dimensions out to 108mm x 86mm. The film has a baseline ISO of 800. There is visible grain, due to the high film speed, but in our opinion the grain looks quite lovely. The Wide Monochrome film has good contrast, even if the shadows are not quite as rich as we would like. The developed image has a nice crispness to it and the film is known for great consistency shot to shot.
Fuji Instax Wide requires the use of Fuji Instax Wide cameras, of which there have been several varieties over the years. The cameras are all fairly similar in function, with the largest difference between models being in appearance.
As of 2020, Fuji Instax films are one of only two instant film options on the market, alongside Polaroid Originals film.
