Oh, where to start with this photo... I bought an instax 50s a while back and immediately had some problems with it, but it allowed me to finish off a pack of film with minimal problems so when I loaded up the second pack I didn't think anything would go wrong but boy was I incorrect!
The camera was slow to respond, I would press the button to turn it on and it wouldn't until about 30 seconds later. When it finally did turn on pressing the shutter wouldn't do a thing no matter how many times I tried. So I tried to take the film pack out so I could use it in my instax mini 7s and return the camera but the pack wouldn't come out even though I had it installed correctly, yellow lines lined up. It wouldn't budge.
I contacted the seller I bought it from - no response. After waiting and waiting I filed a case with amazon. Another 15 days later they finally got back to me and said nothing could be done for me, the seller wouldn't accept a return and wouldn't help me out. So mad I was nearly in tears, I decided to just rip out the pack of film. I found the "this is not a film" piece was jammed for who knows what reason! I took it out and put the film back in and it started working just fine (other than the issues I had with it in the first place which includes the fact the film is SUPER hard to get out once it starts to eject from the camera)
All in all, despite getting a lemon, this pictures did turn out pretty neat. The one I chose for my week 35 photo is my favorite of the bunch.
I'm not sure how I feel about putting more film in the camera. Good thing I didn't sell my trusty instax mini 7s when I bought the new and improved one!
