I write about camera gear for a living, and only my all-time favorite gadgets earn space in my camera bag. But one of my favorite accessories that has earned a permanent spot in my kit isn't a camera or a lens, it’s a baby photo printer that spits out instant film prints: The Instax Mini Link 3.
The Instax Mini Link 3 is essentially an instant film camera without the actual camera. What does that mean? The Instax Mini Link 3 prints out digital photos that already exist onto instant film instead. Digital images are sent to the mobile printer using Bluetooth, which means you can take a photo captured on a smartphone or a digital camera and turn it into a retro instant film image.
