Mint Camera Instantkon RF70 Overview
Folding design uses a bellows to maintain a relatively compact form factor when the camera is not in use, but still accommodates the large INSTAX Wide film format.
Mechanical rangefinder design enables precise manual focus control for working with subjects as close as 2.5' away.
Both automatic (aperture priority) and manual exposure control methods are available; manual control makes use of a full range of shutter speeds, from 1 to 1/500 sec, and aperture settings, from f/5.6 to f/22. Also, A+1 and A-1 exposure compensation settings can be used in aperture priority mode.
Bulb setting is available for making long exposures up to 10 minutes long.
Multiple exposure lever enables making an unlimited number of exposures on a single sheet of film.
Built-in pop-up flash can be used for fill flash or to provide additional illumination to the scene for working in low-light conditions, and a 2.5mm port is also available for connecting an optional external strobe.
Integrated rear LCD highlights shooting settings for more intuitive manual exposure control.
Fixed 93mm f/5.6 lens features an all-glass triplet optical design with multi-coated elements to provide high contrast and color saturation. Individual elements also feature an aspherical design for impressive sharpness and low distortion.
Optical viewfinder features a 0.44x magnification and works in conjunction with the rangefinder design to provide an accurate field of view for composing shots.
Threaded shutter release button accepts standard cable releases, and a 1/4"-20 mount is also featured for working atop a tripod or a monopod.
Two AA batteries are used as the power source for the built-in light meter and LCD screen.

Mint Camera Instantkon RF70 Reviews
Great way to shoot Instax
By David
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2024-07-31
The Mint InstantKon RF70 is, for me, the optimal combination of quality and convenience for shooting Instax film. I can get more quality and character from my 4x5 camera with Lomograflok Instax back, but that is a time-consuming process and obviously impossible for handheld use. The InstantKon RF70 has a high-quality lens: sharp with pleasing bokeh at wide apertures. Build quality is decent: definitely superior to Fuji's Instax cameras. Be aware that the rangefinder and viewfinder are separate, so shooting is not quite as fast in actual use as it would be with a combined rangefinder / viewfinder. My copy sometimes needs a little help ejecting the dark slide from the film pack: cutting or removing the tape at the top of the film pack solves the problem. I love using the camera and am very pleased with the results.

MiNT's RF70 is one of the most clever and fun new camera designs I can think of. Excellent shallow depth of field. Love this instant film camera

Every single sample image I have seen from this camera is blurry. The advantage of this camera over every other one on the market for instax wide is that it doesnt' use blunt zone focus. But EVERY image is blurry on a '$900 camera, apparently from the..lens? What gives?
The resolution on Fuji instant film isn't nearly as bad as the sample images from this camera. Not even remotely close. We have the original auto-focus glass lens Japanese market Instamatic Fuji from the '90s and its fantastic...but its old and we're looking for a more reliable replacement. This camera looked to be it but every sample image looks worse than the cheapest plastic Fujis.

Would this work in a studio using strobes? I have the Raven Fusion transmitter and Paul C Buff Link800/Celestial strobes. Can I get this to sync with them?
The Mint Camera InstantKon RF70 Instant Film Camera does not have a sync port or a hot shoe to attach a flash transmitter to it. It does have a built-in flash. And it might work with other flashes that have a built-in optical slave.
