Description
Fujifilm Instax Wide 300 camera modified to take any lens from the Mamiya Press, Super 23 & Universal Press cameras, or choose the Polaroid 600SE version. Unlike similarly modified cameras, you can change lenses easily. No lens modification is necessary. Perfect as a studio tool for dialing in your settings, and taking test shots before a photoshoot, but great for general use as well.
This body is simply for processing the Instax Wide exposure. All controls are on the lenses: Focus, Shutter Speed, Aperture, Flash sync port, Shutter release.

FFD for infinity has been confirmed via ground glass and test shots. Distances for 3.5ft, 5ft, and 10ft have been confirmed via ground glass as well as with laser and test shots.
LENS COMPATIBILITY:
- Mamiya Press: Any Press lens will mount, but each lens will have varying coverage and vignetting. The 75mm f/5.6 is the onIy Mamiya Press lens that provides full coverage on the Instax Wide 300. The rear lens element of the 127mm f/4.7 sits too far from the film plane and gets clipped by the inside of the camera body. Untested with 150mm and 250mm lenses. For those who don’t mind slight vignetting, I personally recommend the 90mm f/3.5 as it is generally the least expensive for its compact size and the chrome nicely complements the silver trim of the Wide 300 body. I also recommend the 100mm f/3.5 chrome or black version depending on your tastes. However, the 75mm is typically the best value and my favorite for this format.
- Polaroid 600SE: The 75mm f/5.6 is the onIy 600SE lens that provides full coverage on the Instax Wide 300. The rear lens element of the 127mm f/4.7 sits too far from the film plane and gets clipped by the inside of the camera body at a few apertures and focus distances. Untested with 150mm lenses.
