Fuji Instax Mini Monochrome

Fuji Instax Mini film was first introduced in 1998, as the first of Fuji's Instax line of film and cameras.  It kicked off a revolution of instant film photography and remains an incredibly popular film to this day.  As of 2020, it is part of a family that includes three different formats: Mini, Wide and Square. Initially Instax Mini was only available as a color film, but that changed in 2016 when Fuji introduced the first monochrome version of their Instax films: Instax Mini Monochrome.

Fuji Instax Mini Monochrome is an ISO 800, B&W instant film that produces business card-sized images that develop on their own, after ejecting from the camera immediately after exposure occurs.  Image size of Mini film measures 46mm x 62mm with a white border, bringing the film size out to 54mm x 86mm.  The cameras themselves are compact and simple to use, essentially point-and-shoot style.  Some Instax Mini cameras give greater creative control, including multiple exposures and bulb mode.  

Unlike Polaroid Originals film, Instax film does not contain the battery needed to power the camera in the film packs.  This makes the manufacture of the film less expensive and allows Fuji Instax film to enjoy a significantly lower cost than its Polaroid counterparts.
