TTartisan Retro-Style Instant Instax Camera

TTartisan has been teasing a camera for a while and many expected them to release an M-mount camera, but it looks like we are going to get an Instax camera from TTartisan which is amusing to me because Leica also makes an Instax camera. Lots of camera companies want a piece of the Instax market, which will help Fujifilm sell even more Instax Film. The official announcement is expected tomorrow February 27th.
