I always think about what kind of instax is the final form.
At the same time to meet the "portable, image quality, reliable, easy to use, good-looking".
6 years ago we made the HVSQ Hasselblad instax back, image quality is good but not portable;
1 year ago we made a separate body module PRESSkit, portable but image quality is not good enough.
We've also tried various kinds of medium and large format lens adapter solutions
None of them seem ~perfect~.
So here it is, the POCKET FOLD 66
A foldable optical viewfinder auto metering instax camera.
A complete all-in-one camera.
Pf- A camera that folds to fit in your pocket.
66- Uses instax square photo paper.
This is a machine that pays homage to Dr. Land and references the Polaroid sx70.
I think we can all agree that this is a machine that cannot be bypassed in all instant imaging cameras. It's just too classic and too old. It's perfect, and not perfect enough.
But also note that this is not a copy, it's a rebuild.
We have only followed its folding structure, because it is the only one that can be made extremely compact, and here is great respect for Dr. Land's ingenuity, RESPECT!
On this basis, we have optimized all components and redesigned the entire optical, electronic, and mechanical drive systems.
A tribute to a classic, revisited!

The project is relatively large, and will still use the pre-sale + public sale method, but this time the pre-sale should be limited, a small number of pre-sale quota, to alleviate a bit of the pre-shipping workload, so that the later goods people can buy as soon as possible. Of course, the pre-sale will have a mystery gift.
There is no need to rush the public sale, and the goods will be spread later. I hope everyone can buy, use and have fun.
Pre-sale date: Selected release date
Pre-sale price: TBD
Official price: to be announced
Thanks for the attention.
Seriously make a good camera for you guys to play with.
10ARTCC Only want the best!
