Missed January's film news and rumors. Last week, I discussed the Analogue aF-1 (analog.cafe/comments/u725). Additionally, there’s a new color film that could potentially become the least expensive option, taking over from Kodak ColorPlus: analog.cafe/app/film-price… This was announced last year (kosmofoto.com/2024/05/chin…).

The Tsushima Cyanotypes is a black-and-blue photobook featuring cyanotypes by KC Ahonen, with only 200 copies available. I enjoyed turning the 76 pages of this uncoated A5-sized book and observing the 30 beautifully printed blue-on-white cyanotype images.
