Video Description

As Instax and Polaroid skyrocket in popularity, many are left to wonder how they directly compare as film stocks. Today we finally have them "square off" in a side by side test of the film's color science, dynamic range, sharpness, and camera compatibility. Special thanks to Holly and Natt for their awesome contributions to this episode, Holly can be found at https://www.instagram.com/hollyjsalerno and Natt at https://www.instagram.com/nattmcfee.
