It's worth noting that this equipment is now discontinued, but you can likely find it used. Sadly, the EF-M mount has been phased out. This photo walk was recorded in 2022 and has been on my work drive since then so I wanted to do something with it.

The product itself is a very nice roll-up style case. On the inside, it has two different areas for pens or pencils with protective flaps at the top.

I was sent the Polaroid Now+ Generation 3 instant camera in a coral color. They had sent the camera and two cartridges of photos with no expectation of any content being produced. In this article, I'll be sharing my experience with it over a few days of use.  Check out the full video on YouTube: Check out the Polaroid Now+ Gen3 Instant Camera:  B&H: https://bhpho.to/4o2Jv5g   Amazon: https://amzn.to/4n6XJ3L   Moment: https://partner.shopmoment.com/je90j6   Best Buy: https://bestbuycreators.7tiv.net/bOMJrb   Adorama:  https://prf.hn/l/64Mmn0p/   ebay: https://ebay.us/CW4XqJ   As an affiliate of these shops, I earn from qualifying purchases!
