The NonsSL660 is a high-quality instantfilm camera that's fun, challenging, and incredibly special to use.

Nons SL660 MSRP $600.00 Score Details DT Editors' Choice “The Nons SL660 delivers a rewarding analog photography experience and beautiful images with retro charm.” Pros Cons The product of a successful Kickstarter campaign, the Nons SL660 is now a reality. This unique camera offers the fun of an instax camera combined with the premium build quality and the flexibility of an interchangeable lens system.

Related The controls may seem a bit alien to those more used to digital cameras, but it’s really quite straightforward. The back hatch opens up for film cartridges to be inserted, while on the left side of the lens is the lever that engages the mirror and arms the camera to take a photo. You’ll want to wait to press this until you have identified the scene you’re going to shoot — otherwise, you may accidentally trigger the shutter.

On the back of the SL660 are the USB-C charging port, power switch, and film eject button. Once you have snapped your shot, simply hold down the film eject button and the SL660 will spit your photo out the side, where it will take a few minutes to develop. Due to the exposed USB-C port, and the various other unsealed openings in the camera, I would not use this camera in even very light precipitation.

The upshot is that the SL660 is best used in low-contrast situations, and if you want to use wide-open aperture settings for glorious swirly bokeh, you’ll either need to shoot in dim lighting or use neutral density filters to darken the scene. Also, because of the nature of the film and the integrated lens system of the camera, don’t expect razor-sharp images out of the SL660.

Photos captured with the SL660 tend to have a dreamy, aged quality that to me evokes a strange sense of nostalgia. There’s also something really magical about seeing an image appear on paper in the moment after you’ve captured it. I also find that capturing a digital photo of the Instax print with the location of the shot in the out-of-focus background makes for a very compelling subject for sharing on social media.

Nons SL660 price and availability Starting at $600, the SL660 isn’t cheap. If you want a lens, the 50mm f/1.8 costs $50, while the 35mm f/2.4 will set you back $110. For a similar price, you could pick up an extremely capable modern digital camera and capture more detailed images. Alternatively, you could get a Fujifilm Instax Mini Evo camera for just $200, which can capture digital photos and act as a wireless Instax printer in addition to capturing Instax film images.
