Recently, there have been updates regarding a new film scanning project, the release of several new film cameras, and some news concerning Kodak and Lucky color films. #editorial.
In an era where teachers are more worried than ever about the effects of technology in the classroom, the Washington Post released an op-ed that takes a contrary stance. The ... Read more
This article aims to build upon the prior work conducted by Dmitri (accessible here). Upon reviewing his techniques, I recognized potential for enhancements or at the very least, some experimentation. Through five test strips from two rolls of the same batch, I believe I have discovered an effective method for both scanning and projection.
Here is @granydays' video summary of another color-negative film, not produced by Kodak, that is approaching global release. #editorial.
Kodak was in the headlines recently; some reports indicated they are close to bankruptcy. I examined and compared the two current colour-negative choices that are not produced by Kodak. Leica faced backlash for a (now removed) post on Threads. There is also a new Widelux camera created in partnership with Jeff Bridges. Additionally, there’s a user-friendly silver gelatin black-and-white printing kit that utilizes a smartphone as an enlarger, a new foldable instant film SLR is in development, a new series of 617/612, 4x5, 5x7, and 8x10 cameras has been introduced, and CineStill has significantly enhanced their scanning light source.
Several of you have inquired about the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk that took place earlier this week at a campus event in Utah.
I attempted to recreate CineStill 800T in my home, discovered a fairly simple method to resolve the Polaroid SX-70's malfunctioning film eject, and compared the only two color-negative films not produced by Kodak. Additionally, I attended the sole North American presentation by Charys Schuler regarding the new Widelux cameras created in partnership with Jeff Bridges.
Harman Phoenix is the latest colour-negative film available, produced by a factory other than Kodak. Created by the same company that markets the well-known Ilford black-and-white film, Phoenix represents their significant investment in a medium they haven't engaged with since the 1960s. #editorial.
To commemorate this year's World Photography Day, I'm releasing three in-depth articles that explore the profitable and diverse range of affordable ISO 200 color-negative films. This piece outlines all the factories producing these films along with their products, accompanied by readings about each, presented in the suggested order. Enjoy WPD!
Fujifilm 200 is a color-negative film made in the USA and features the Fuji brand, available at various retailers, including my nearby drugstore. This film serves as the present successor to the Japanese-produced Fujicolor C 200, which is a medium-speed, budget-friendly color-negative film. In this article, I will compare and review both films.
KONO Color 200 is a newly released colour-negative film offered by the German company KONO Manufaktur, available in 35mm and bulk rolls of 100’ (30.5m). It shares the same specifications as Optik OldSchool OptiColor 200 and ORWO Wolfen NC200. This summer, I shot three rolls in different environments and have plenty to discuss regarding the image quality, cost, and the implications of this film for the future of film photography. This review includes an above-average number of samples from my rolls, as I was fortunate to capture many "keepers." Alternatively, it could be due to a significant enhancement in image quality and scannability from InovisCoat GmbH! (I will also clarify who they are.)
Last autumn, a Norwegian professor of psychology, Lars Dehli, was invited to deliver a lecture on the topic of intelligence. It had been some time since he had...
Currently, apart from Kodak, there are only two lines of colour-negative film being produced. Both of these are made in Europe and represent the first entirely new C-41-based emulsions introduced since the mid-2000s. In this article, I will perform a side-by-side comparison to determine which of these formulas is more likely to succeed Kodak’s legacy of innovation and quality in colour photochemistry.
Last month, a 22-year-old entrepreneur named Emil Barr released an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal with a striking title: “’Work-Life Balance’ Will Keep You Mediocre.” He ... Read more
