If you’ve come across the review or are familiar with the film, SantaColor is a reprocessed color-negative film intended for aerial surveillance photography that Kodak continues to produce. The Finnish Camera Rescue team was the initial discoverer and distributor of this film for 35mm cameras; however, they announced today that the responsibility for this operation will be transferred to the German manufacturer Optik Oldschool.
As reported by Kosmo Foto, the iconic design will be discontinued, with the remaining stock serving as the final batch for the camera. The LC-A model is being succeeded by Lomography’s new point-and-shoot camera, the LOMO MC-A (https://www.analog.cafe/comments/4qqw), while production of the LC-Wide and LC-A 120 will persist. #editorial.

In "Ride a Dragon," Canyon utilizes the direct and tangible language of instant photography to investigate the body as a container of memories and a terrain molded by time. Employing Instax Wide black-and-white film, the artist creates diptychs that display fragmented human figures alongside natural objects such as leaves, shells, petals, and flowers.
Push-processing refers to the technique of increasing the development time or temperature for your film, allowing it to perform as a more sensitive film than indicated on the packaging. For instance, you can push an ISO 100 film to an exposure index (EI) of 200 by metering it as if it were ISO 200 (providing it one stop less light) and then either requesting your lab to process it accordingly or doing it yourself by extending the development time in the chemicals to enhance the development of shadows and highlights. #editorial.

The RETO Project has recently launched a new film camera called Kodak Snapic A1.
