I wonder if anyone has received one already? It looks cool and my FP100C is slowly getting empty!

Definitely cheaper than Fuji FP 100. I purchased approximately 15 boxes a few years ago and have them in cold storage. I'm glad I did as they command $50 per box now! I could get used to Instax at $13.50 per box.

Same approach and I agree. When my FP100 gets empty, I'm afraid I won't jump in at the current prices anymore. However, the ISO 800 of the Instax film makes it a bit less useful for proof purposes. Nice for low light though. Or are there a also lower ISO ratings available? A quick glance at google at least didn't reveal them.

Another issue seems to be the shifted plane of focus requiring a 'focusing adapter' which seems to be slided in between the viewfinder and the ground glass, which would make it even less suitable for proof purposes.

On the Kickstarter page it said a few batches should have been shipped until now, so I wonder if anyone here picked one up?

No, it's ISO 800 only.
