Hey #believeinfilm, This month's member newsletter is late, in part because I spent a lot of time trying to make it particularly informative: www.analog.cafe/r/why-are-fi... I explained why comparing film stocks is difficult and how to address common issues that can invalidate experiments. 🎞️📸

Made a gift box from cardboard paper, a bit of glue, and a frame of Provia. #believeinfilm 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, Polaroid has recently released its Pokémon collab items, which include cameras and accessories: www.analog.cafe/comments/y2pj You can finally get that Pikachu you wanted and Pokémon Go to the polls! #filmphotography #photography #polaroid 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, Today I'd like to share my most comprehensive film comparison yet, where I've sourced all the ISO 100 colour-negative films and tested them extensively: www.analog.cafe/r/comparing-... Did you know that Fujifilm still makes Fujicolor 100? I imported it just for this!🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, Today I review my experience with the world's most sensitive infrared film, Kodak HIE: www.analog.cafe/r/kodak-high... This is a difficult film to shoot for a number of reasons, and there's a very easy way to mess it up. Is it worth it? #filmphotography 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, Did you try Lomo LC-W? If so, did yours tend to overexpose? I had to edit this portrait, it was a lot brighter when I scanned it (and the negatives were quite dense). #filmphotography 📸🎞️

Hey #believeinfilm friends, Today's article will teach you how to reuse disposable cameras — including how to pick the right film for optimal exposures, how to use flash, and how not to make mistakes that can ruin your film in the process! www.analog.cafe/r/how-to-reu... #photography 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, Harman has just updated their Phoenix films: the boxes, the chemistry, and the ISO speed to 125! www.analog.cafe/comments/ffg5 ☝️ Read why they may have made that decision and what it may mean for those of us who shoot with the UK's only colour-negative film. 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, I'm back from a camping trip, which means it's time to look at my scans and judge them harshly. Only this time, you're invited! www.analog.cafe/r/a-roll-of-... Join me as I examine all 38 frames of Rollei IR and discuss my mistakes and successes within each frame. 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, This is the 88th Analog.Cafe newsletter where I dive deep into the news of ORWO film factories being sold to Optik Oldschool, film prices, two new film cameras, and more news from the world of film photography: www.analog.cafe/r/film-photo... Happy Tuesday! 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, Today I review arguably the most important camera of the 20th century, the one that graduated the SLR design from an experiment to the dominant way commercial photography is done (in many cases, even today): The Nikon F www.analog.cafe/r/nikon-f-fi... #photography 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, This is the 26th member newsletter, where I talk about a new colour correction tool for film scans, film prices, shaking it like a Polaroid picture, and a long overdue link from The New York Times (but it's not a big deal): www.analog.cafe/r/film-price... 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, Big news! Optik Oldschool, a German film lab run by a video game distributor, just bought the EU's only colour-negative film factory, InovisCoat: www.analog.cafe/comments/hqia Details in the post. #filmphotography #photography #germany #analogphotography 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, Today I review a peculiarly-named, beautifully-packaged high-speed colour-negative film: Optik Oldschool SantaColor 800 www.analog.cafe/r/optik-olds... In the article: the story of this film, its name, lots of samples, and other ISO 800 films. #filmphotography 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, RETO has just released a new camera that looks like the Olympus Mju I (in shape): the Kodak EC35. It's not the same thing, of course, but it comes in several colours and is only $35 or $45 with a roll of Ultramax: www.analog.cafe/comments/m35r #filmphotography 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, Today, I'm answering a simple question that strangely didn't have an answer (until now): What happens if you shake a Polaroid Picture? www.analog.cafe/r/what-happe... #filmphotography #polaroid 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, Lomography has just released a new $29 half-frame camera with film included: www.analog.cafe/comments/1sjz ($35 if you want colour.) Shooting, choosing a lab, scanning tips, story, other cameras in this range & how to get good results — in today's editorial. ☝️ 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, Here's a list of all the colour film stocks, cheapest at the top. Prices (average) sourced from 13 major retailers worldwide. Hopefully, this can save you some clams at the checkout! #filmphotography #photography 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, I've been collecting data on film prices for 8 years. Today's update shares some revelations about its affordability: www.analog.cafe/r/the-growin... Inc: the best and worst deals, provides an overview of Kodak's rebrand, and examines the widening price divide. 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, This is a complete rewrite of my six-year-old camera review: www.analog.cafe/r/pentax-pc3... PC35AF is a P&S that could be a good companion at a reasonable price, thanks to its excellent lens, fast autofocus, and reliable exposure controls, all in a unique package. 🎞️📸

Kodachrome Basin, Utah. A great place to wander around and avoid some of the crowds you run into at the Utah national parks. This photo was made with a modified Agfa Isoly camera.

Although if you want the starkiest blue colours in your photos, this would be the way: www.analog.cafe/r/bluescalin...

“Bluescaling” Lomochrome Turquoise

Lomochrome Turquoise is a false-colour negative film designed by Lomography to render freaky orange, cobalt, and marine palettes. Out of the box, this emulsion is already incredibly unique, but it can...

The only film I can think of that is almost guaranteed to give a "blue" mood is Lomography Lomochrome Purple. It's a false-colour film that looks blue when slightly underexposed (i.e., shot as if it's ISO ~300). But it's not a true colour film. www.analog.cafe/r/lomography...

Hey #believeinfilm friends, "In Praise of the Humble Ricoh Diacord" compares Ricoh Diacord to other TLRs of the period: www.analog.cafe/r/in-praise-... According to Howard, it's a slept-on camera, offering a great deal for high-quality optics, materials, and a unique focusing design. 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, This month's community newsletter is out! www.analog.cafe/r/film-photo... I talk about three new cameras (Kodak Charmera, Polaroid Go Gen 3, and Lomography Fisheye 2) and a new way to invert film negatives. Happy Tuesday! #filmphotography 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm, New episode of the Analog.Cafe Podcast is live! www.analog.cafe/comments/yp4b It's about inverting film negatives, our current options, and why none of them worked for me. As we kept rolling, I broke my app, then fixed it, and we kept Daren's genuine reaction to all that. 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, Today I'd like to share my long-term review of the strange and wonderful Nishika N8000, the "wiggle GIF" camera: www.analog.cafe/r/nishika-n8... It's both ridiculous — it has a piece of metal inside its plastic body just to give it heft! 💀 — and awesome. #wigglegif 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, I wrote an extensive manual on how to invert film negatives with film Q: www.analog.cafe/r/inverting-... It features some of my favourite film photos (inverted with said tool) and a few tips applicable to all inversion workflows. Have a wonderful Sunday! 🎞️📸

Hey #believeinfilm friends, I just sent the 25th monthly member newsletter: www.analog.cafe/r/film-q-v1-... It talks about a major update to a film inversion app I built and offers all GOLD members a chance to try it. The app is quite different from anything else out there. #filmphotography 🎞️📸
