A recent market report categorizes them by type, currency, and availability. Regarding prices, I have plans for the priciest roll of color film available. I will reveal those plans after introducing the new Members' Handbook and updating you on my work with Film Q.

Members’ Handbook. After eight years of weekly updates (since 2017!), Analog.Cafe has grown into one of the largest resources for film photography available online. It now features over 650 articles, several web applications, and a variety of special features, some tailored specifically for GOLD members.
With so much to offer, I've created a brief guide to the premium features of the website, such as high-resolution images, advanced web apps, and exclusive articles, titled “Members’ Handbook.” This guide complements the article “About Analog.Cafe Accounts,” which outlines everything our website provides for both free and paid members, including bookmarking, commenting, email newsletters, article submissions, and more.
As this resource expands, I will continue to keep both guides updated. I have also introduced contextual menus to all article titles to enhance browsing and help you locate what you need more easily. These menus appear as three vertical dots ︙. Click or tap on them to view summaries, sharing options, and links to related sections. When browsing list sections, such as Guides Tutorials, clicking the ︙ will allow you to search within those sections. You can even narrow your search to member-exclusive articles by tapping the dots on the GOLD Member Zone page title.
Film Q. Regarding website updates, I have an update on the film negative inversion tool I referenced last month.
This is an opportune moment to purchase film since prices have decreased globally. A recent market report categorizes them by type, currency, and availability. Regarding prices, I have some plans for the priciest roll of color film available. I'll reveal those plans shortly after I present the new Members’ Handbook and provide an update on my progress with Film Q.
