Kodak Kodacolor 100 is a newly introduced film by Kodak, which was announced in early October 2025. Well, sort of. In this article, I will discuss the significance of this new product and draw a comparison between Kodacolor and its speculated counterpart: Kodak Pro Image 100.
Last month, Kodak made headlines by bringing back the Kodacolor brand along with its ISO 100 and 200 colour-negative films. Now, we're hearing that additional Kodak films are undergoing a redesign, seeing changes in distribution, and may potentially be offered at lower prices soon. #editorial.
I no longer shoot film as frequently as I once did, so I need to make each shot valuable. And by that, I don't just mean ensuring the photos turn out well, which is certainly part of it. Rather, I mean that if I'm going to invest my time in this, it needs to be meaningful.
The Asahi Pentax MX is a compact mechanical SLR that works with a wide range of budget-friendly lenses. Its size allows it to be pocketable (depending on the lens), and its construction is extremely durable. However, no camera is without flaws, and the MX has some aspects you should be aware of. In this review, I will discuss the key features and known problems. I will also recommend a few alternative compact mechanical SLRs if you prefer a quicker shutter speed, a more minimalist design, or an even smaller size (which is indeed available¹).
The major highlights in the realm of film photography this October include the latest Kodak films and a newly released point-and-shoot camera from Lomography. Additionally, there's much more to explore — including another new color film (also from Lomography), a gold-plated (?) WideluxX prototype, and several remarkable community initiatives.
October 2025 has been full of surprises: from a new film release by Kodak to Lomography's inaugural autofocus point-and-shoot camera. In this newsletter, I will share how I compared various Kodak films and discovered the subtle differences among them.
I've revisited this well-known article that discusses the smallest fully mechanical 35mm film camera ever created. The Rollei 35 S is also the second-smallest full-frame camera to date, considering all modern digital cameras. It's a remarkably compact device, even though it was designed in the 1950s. #editorial.

The Lomo MC-A marks Lomography's inaugural autofocus model. It boasts a 32mm f/2.8-16 multi-coated Lomo glass lens, a maximum shutter speed of 1/500s, manual controls, and a metal construction. The camera can be *pre-ordered* for $549 (links below). #editorial.

Kodak sells a significant amount of film. In response to the demand for more medium-speed colour-negative film, they introduced three options: Kodak ColorPlus, Kodak Gold, and the newly released Kodacolor 200. However, since they haven't effectively clarified the differences (if any) between these three films, I dedicated several days to researching and organizing an experiment to compare their colours, grain, and dynamic range in different lighting situations.
