Instax Mini in a hacked Polaroid 500 cartridge. The battery in the cartridge was dead, so I moved a battery from a modern Polaroid 600 cartridge. The film is used one sheet at a time, placing and removing it from the cartridge in the dark.

There are so many old cameras for which film is no longer made. I love the challenge of using these cameras with modern film. Often Instax film will work. Sometimes I use another size of film, like 35mm or 120, either cut down or using adapters. And sometimes photo paper will work. It's all part of the joy of experimentation.
