I don't judge instant film integral prints by the standards of digital or film; even instant pack film produces sharper results. I find it takes some time to readjust my eyes and look at it for what it is.Godfrey, how have you been scanning your instant prints? Laying my Instax prints directly onto my Epson flatbed scanner glass results in whopping newton rings, so I've made a frame out of thin cardboard which floats it just above the glass, but even then I have to redo some because the prints aren't all that flat to begin with.
The jury's still out as far as the Mini 90 is concerned, but it's got a certain charm to it.
I've used the Impossible Project print holding jig with my flatbed scanner for SX-70, 600, and Spectra type prints. It's a bit tricky to deal with sometimes and as the sticky stuff gets less so, can be a PITA to make it work. Lately, I've used the E-M1 on a copy stand with a kludgey baffle box preventing reflections to capture them into digital form, or the scanner in my multifunction printer (it doesn't seem to have the same propensity to newton rings as my Epson scanner).
