    What’s this? An honest-to-goodness BRAND NEW colour negative film *not* manufactured in Rochester, NY or Japan!? Get outta town. Yet here we are with a new 200 speed 35mm colour negative film and very much in a town. And that town is Bad Saarow, a spa town about 60km from…

  2. 13+ Years with Kodak Ektar 100

    2022-04-07 04:59:20 UTC

    September 2008. I still remember the excitement of the announcement of Kodak Ektar 100. As someone who was new to film photography, this was the first time I had experienced the launch of an all-new photographic film. According to Kodak’s press release, Ektar 100 would offer “high saturation and ultra-vivid…

  5. Stocking up on Stock

    2018-07-05 11:43:03 UTC

    Berlin, 2015 I wonder how long “film” will remain part of Fujifilm’s product line up? This is the sort of thing that keeps me up at night, though only usually after my 2 year-old has declared 3am “have a play” time. But I digress. 2018 has seen Fuji-‘film’…

    Roly Poly Changeable ISO Slide Film has an awesome box No, the sub-editor for this piece hasn’t suffered some form of minor stroke [hint: there is no sub-editor], this is a serious piece about a serious film. You out there in the real world may know it better as Rollei…

    2018-05-21 01:36:15 UTC

    My Pacific Image PF120 Pro (l) and Nikon Coolscan 5000ED (r) in happier days Dear readers, I have been living a lie. For the past little while, I’ve assured you that I was settled on film scanners. That I had made my (flat)bed and was relatively content sleeping in it:…

  9. A Terrible Vista

    2018-03-10 04:26:12 UTC

    “THEY’RE DEAD. THEY’RE ALL. DEAD.” Two more films are said to have bitten the dust: AgfaPhoto Vista Plus 200 and 400 colour negative films. It’s an open secret that these films are manufactured by Fujifilm in Japan, however these emulsions have been a cheap and reliable product for many film…

  10. Negative News That isn’t Pushing It

    2018-02-23 11:03:41 UTC

    Every day in the 21st century when a new or re-engineered photographic film is announced is a good day. Today is one of those days with Kodak announcing the un-discontinuation of P3200 TMAX — the last great high-speed black and white film (put down your pitchforks, I’ve just never liked…

  11. London’s Brutal Reality

    2018-02-13 03:52:00 UTC

    I like big blocks and I cannot lie. Big blocks of raw concrete, that is. And as a fan of concrete architecture, there are few cities better for appreciating this polarising material than London. From grand cultural buildings to small-scale functional infrastructure, raw concrete altered London’s post-war cityscape more than…

    2018-01-17 04:47:34 UTC

    Billingham Hadley Pro BeginningFor some photographers, the camera bag is a vital piece of equipment.

    Source: Film Ferrania It’s happening again! 2017 is turning out to be an emulsional (heh) year, with Film Ferrania announcing the production of P30 ALPHA, an ISO 80 black and white film with the power to destroy an entire planet. The reborn Ferrania is best known for the crowdfunded relaunch…

  14. Things I Use: Voigtländer VC Meter II

    2016-02-13 03:45:00 UTC

    I own quite a bit of photography gear, but I am not a collector. Every item I own I use at one point or another. When I travel, so do my cameras. As a result, some of my gear is a bit cosmetically (and sometimes operationally) blemished. My Voigtländer VC…

  15. Travelling with Film: 7 (or so) Tips for Surviving the Airport

    2015-02-23 11:16:00 UTC

    [A]irports are sites where identity is confirmed or questioned; they are spaces of public display; they are contested zones where privacy and national security vie for priority; they are complex factories for the production of patriotism and the privilege of mobility.
