The Instant Magny 35 is giving new life to old film cameras by transforming them into Polaroid-like instant cameras, while still preserving all the marvelous optics and image quality associated with old SLR cameras. Developed by Hong Kong-based NIMN lab, this unique attachment takes inspiration from the Nikon Speed Magny released in the 1960s, but upgrades it to be much smaller and lighter.
The Instant Magny 35 consists of an enlarged film back, aluminum lens barrel and a film ejection unit. All of this can easily be attached to a 35mm film camera as it replaces the back of a camera. The Instant Magny 35 features a maximum effective f/4 aperture, runs on four AAA batteries, uses an LED film counter and features a tripod socket.
