CP+ 2025 is in full swing, and TTArtisan has taken the opportunity to unveil its first retro-looking instant camera : the 203T. More accustomed to manual or autofocus lenses for mirrorless, the Chinese company has come up with a highly original bellows camera, compatible with Fujifilm Instax mini film. Currently in the prototype stage, it should be officially unveiled in autumn 2025.
TTArtisan 203T: A Nice Retro Touch
The CP+ in Yokohama is an opportunity for a wide variety of manufacturers to present their most advanced products… or their most original. Chinese company TTArtisan presented its 203T. This is an instant camera (the firm’s first) with a retro look that Lomography would not have denied.
Indeed, the gusseted deployment of the case adds a vintage touch that is often appreciated by instant camera enthusiasts. The gusset also saves space, since once closed, the 203T is very compact.
The camera accepts Fujifilm instax mini film (62 mm x 46 mm), and focuses manually via the lens, with no rangefinder even if it looks like.
The 75mm f/3.5-22 lens (43mm equiv. in full frame) is based on 3 elements, with a Cooke Triplet design. The exposure time can be chosen between 1 s and 1/300 s.
Bulb mode is also available. Note also that the device is purely mechanical, requiring no batteries. Please also note that the camera is fully manual, with no meter.
Price and Availability of TTArtisan 203T
No date or price has yet been announced by TTArtisan for its 203T, although the manufacturer has explained that it hopes to release its snapshot around autumn 2025, with a price of around $300.
The device will come in four colors: black, red, blue and orange.
