The Nons SL42 is an the world first interchangeable lens integrated SLR that is a instant camera. Launched by Hong Kong Start Up Nons via Kickstarter in 2020 it uses Instax Mini film format. The camera has a passive Canon EF mount allowing it to mount many pre AF lenses including M42, Canon FD/EF, Exakta, Pentax K/PK, Contax/Yashica C/Y, Nikon F, Olympus OM and others mounts. It will not function properly with actual EF lenses as it has no electrical contacts. The difference in frame sizes means the image appear with a circular vignette.

It was original designed as a M42 mount camera (hence the SL42) but changed during Kickstrater development. The shutter uses a original leaf design that closes on shutter depress until entire mirror box slides to side before opening briefly at desired shutter speed. It requires then to be manually re-cocked which slides mirror box back into place. The shutter will not open without battery power. Viewfinder uses a Pentamirror.
A revised model was launched on Kickstarter in February 2021. The new model is intended to have a new in built rechargeable battery, improved viewfinder with pentaprism and a detachable format extender allowing for less vignetting.
