For weeks, I’ve been putting the Instax Mini Film (Model Number: 170922), a 20-sheet pack of white, instant film, through its paces. This review details my experiences using this film with my Instax Mini camera, covering everything from image quality to ease of use.
The Instax Mini Film is marketed as being incredibly sharp, credit-card sized, daylight-balanced, and boasting excellent colour reproduction. The glossy finish is a nice touch, giving the photos a professional look. The packaging is compact and unobtrusive, making it ideal for slipping into a bag for spontaneous photography opportunities.

The ISO 800 rating means this film performs well in various lighting conditions, though I found that direct sunlight produced the best results. The colour reproduction is generally accurate, although I noticed a slight tendency towards warmer tones in some shots. The sharpness is as advertised; details are crisp and clear, especially in well-lit scenarios. I did experience a couple of slightly blurry photos, but this was likely due to user error (a slightly shaky hand!). The glossy finish really elevates the final image, adding a touch of sophistication that instant photos often lack.
I used this film in a variety of settings, from bustling city streets to quiet countryside landscapes. The film consistently delivered pleasant results. The credit card size is incredibly convenient – these photos are perfect for sharing or displaying in a small space.
One minor drawback was the occasional slight uneven development, resulting in a few photos with marginally inconsistent colour distribution. However, this was rare and didn’t significantly detract from the overall quality.
Pros:
- Sharp and detailed images.
- Good color reproduction.
- Compact and easy to carry.
- Glossy finish enhances image quality.
- Relatively good performance in varying light conditions.
Cons:
- Occasional minor inconsistencies in development.
- Slightly warmer color tone in some shots.
Overall, the Instax Mini Film (170922) provides a fantastic instant photography experience. The image quality is impressive, the convenience is undeniable, and the glossy finish gives photos a professional touch. While minor inconsistencies in development occurred rarely, they didn’t significantly impact my enjoyment. I highly recommend this film to anyone looking for a reliable and enjoyable instant film option for their Instax Mini camera. It’s an excellent choice for capturing spontaneous moments and creating lasting memories.
