After completing a Takumar Trek, I thought I’d try a Hasselblad Hike. Of course one of the joys and benefits of having such a collection of cameras is that one can choose the ideal tool for the job. Being a little out of shape, taking a longish walk, the obvious choice is the heaviest cameraContinue reading “Hasselblad Hike”

Longham Lakes
While I had my first roll of Kodak Pro Image 100 in my trusty Nikon F3 I took a walk to another local spot that I’ve neglected to visit, even though it’s within walking distance of home – Longham Lakes. This was once fields noted for brown hares. In 1994 planning permission was sought andContinue reading “Longham Lakes”
Kodak Pro Image 100: One Roll Try
What is a “Sang”? What is Kodak Pro Image 100 like? I visit one to find out! Having never tried this film I purchased a roll a while back, it sat in my “film to use” box and finally I’ve gotten around to using it! Apparently it’s been manufactured by Kodak since 1997 (Analogue Wonderland),Continue reading “Kodak Pro Image 100: One Roll Try”
Ektar in the Zeiss Ikon
It’s been a while since I used any film in my Zeiss Ikon 517/16. I loaded up a roll of Kodak Ektar and set off on a glorious sunny day, for a walk around the local town of Wimborne Minster. No purpose other than to have a walk and make 12 images! I did discoverContinue reading “Ektar in the Zeiss Ikon”
Developing 110
There are certain times when I’m in mid flow doing something and I think to myself “why ever did I start this”? Going back about 4 weeks, I ordered amongst other things, a roll of Lomography Orca B/W 110 film from Analogue Wonderland. I see that it’s made in Chechia so I’m assuming it’s actuallyContinue reading “Developing 110”
Kentmere 100 in 120
Today I’m posting a few more frames from my first roll of Kentmere 100, in the 120 format. I found quite a bit to like. Although this roll was free to me – it’s 20% cheaper than FP4 (according to today’s price at Analogue Wonderland), these day’s that’s not to be sniffed at. I alsoContinue reading “Kentmere 100 in 120”
Half a Dozen more from Bristol
The images here are a few more from one of the two rolls that I developed in D23 based Perceptol developer. After scanning more I’ve decided that I’m not that keen on that mixture! Yes, it does give a good tonal range, but to my eye they look a bit “muddy”. That could be partlyContinue reading “Half a Dozen more from Bristol”
A Photowalk
Nothing new to see here! Sometimes I like to just load up a roll of film, take the camera with me, wherever I’m going, and make a few photo’s here and there of what I like and catches my eye. This time I took with me my Spotmatic – I have two, the SP andContinue reading “A Photowalk”
Ilford FP4+ Movie Film -end credits
Back in Spring of ’21 I purchased a 410ft can of out-of-date Ilford FP4+ movie film. As far as I can tell it’s exactly the same as regular FP4, although, as it’s intended to rattle through a movie camera at 18 inches a second – give or take, it does have subtly different (slightly rounded)Continue reading “Ilford FP4+ Movie Film -end credits”
Seeing Red!
Harman are at it again! Another film, they are calling their “first true creative film”. As you can see it’s Redscale. My understanding is that this is simply shooting through the “back” (non-emulsion) side of the film, thus hitting the red layer first, and almost blocking the blue and green layers. Like Phoenix, this isContinue reading “Seeing Red!”
