ONE INSTANTONE INSTANT produces the world's only peel-apart packfilm, with over 40,000 shots taken since 2018.
Our product is lovingly hand-crafted in our Vienna manufactory by a dedicated team committed to the past, present, and future of this magical film format.
Breathing new life into vintage packfilm cameras, ONE INSTANT film is the only choice for devotees of peel-apart and traditional instant film formats.
These cameras were made in a vast range of models, all with excellent reliability and high-quality optics. Modern-day outfitters like RETROSPEKT (US) and POLAMAD (EU) offer refurbished cameras at affordable prices, making it easy to find the perfect daily shooter!
Our passion for keeping this endangered format alive has been supported by thousands of customers like you!
Thanks to this, we have been able to make our small-batch, hand-made film manufacturing dreams a reality.
ONE INSTANT DIY FILM KIT
THE FUTURE OF INSTANT PHOTOGRAPHY IS IN YOUR HANDS
A COMPLETE KIT FOR BUILDING EIGHT SHOTS OF PACKFILM
In our continued efforts to save pack film, we've used all our hard-earned expertise to develop a revolutionary new design - the ONE INSTANT DIY FILM KIT!
For the first time in instant film history, production is put into the hands of the photographer.
We did this with one goal in mind -– to make the most immersive, satisfying, and affordable ONE INSTANT packfilm experience ever!
Our ingenious light-seal design lets us take care of the critical light-sensitive assembly, leaving you to fully enjoy the step-by-step process of crafting your own packfilm at home. Everything you need to produce eight shots of beloved ONE INSTANT packfilm is included - parts, tools, and a beautifully illustrated instruction manual.
NO DARKROOM OR SPECIAL EQUIPMENT REQUIRED!
We are pleased to announce a very limited PRE-SALE of our new ONE INSTANT DIY FILM KIT. We believe it's our best chance to decrease the price and to make this beautiful format more accessible than ever. But we need to hear from you as a community - is this the right direction to take the packfilm format?
To make this a permanent member of our product line, we need to pre-sell at least 222 eight-shot packs in the coming months, as a proof of concept. Lucky for you, our entire range of color, black & white, and CHOCO films are being offered, with fulfillment expected in early 2024.
For the most in-depth look possible at our new ONE INSTANT DIY FILM KIT, please check out the incredible video we made in collaboration with our friend Ben Fraternale of the 'In An Instant' Youtube channel. Through Ben's wonderful video, you'll not only get a sneak peek at the assembly process, but we also discuss some of the aspirations and thinking behind our new product.
ONE INSTANT CLASSIC
THE LEGENDARY FORMAT THAT STARTED THE COMEBACK OF PACKFILM
THREE SHOTS OF READY-TO-SHOOT 'TYPE 100' FILM
Our ONE INSTANT CLASSIC is the choice for working photographers who don't mind paying us a bit extra to do all the work for them. Ready to shoot out of the box, our classic 'Type 100' has been the only choice for peel-apart packfilm since its 2018 release.
Available in color, black & white, and gorgeous CHOCO, our entire line of ONE INSTANT films are built around legacy Polaroid materials and fresh pod chemistry formulated by our partners at the 20x24 Studio in Boston. Everything else is 100% hand-made with love in Vienna!
The brilliant concept for a paper cartridge was originally conceived by Uwe Mimoun and Christiane Menardi – the insane geniuses over at KONO Manufaktur. Working to continuously improve the function and feel over time, we remain committed to this format! You'll find thoughtful design details around every corner – die-cut paper parts, letterpress printed packaging, and carefully chosen components throughout. ONE INSTANT classic is the embodiment of our efforts to keep packfilm around for years to come.
Whether you've just found your grandma's vintage packfilm camera in the attic, or need to fill the void left in your heart by Fuji, ONE INSTANT films are the present and future of this incredible format.
