The RETO Project has recently launched a new film camera called Kodak Snapic A1. At the same time, an individual team member is developing a movie camera that utilizes standard 35mm film to achieve higher resolution footage than Super 8, while avoiding the costs and limitations associated with traditional stock, development, and scanning. Additionally, you can download all of Analog.Cafe, find out if Film Ferrania has made a comeback, and see a comparison between Lucky C200 and Kodak Gold.
In this episode, Daren and I connect (remotely¹) with Blaž Semprimožnik — a Slovenian engineer who has developed an innovative method for filming movies using standard 35mm film — the type we purchase for our still cameras! #editorial.
The previous week, I discussed a project aimed at enabling anyone interested to shoot films using standard 35mm film cartridges (https://www.analog.cafe/r/okto35-a-genius-invention-making-movies-on-135-film-10zq). #editorial.
This month, I’ve implemented a few updates to the website. One of these updates allows for the sharing of GIFs, while the other converts each article into a high-quality PDF with personalized formatting. Although the ability to display GIFs might not seem particularly significant, the major announcement is the reason behind their creation: a new movie camera that is currently being developed.

Lucky C200 (乐凯 C200, p.: Lè Kǎi) is a newly produced colour-negative film from China. The technology used in its development might be linked to Kodak’s brief partnership with Lucky in the early 2000s; however, as you will soon discover, it appears quite distinct from anything else currently available. This article will analyze the colours, grain, contrast, and saturation of Lucky C200, along with its physical characteristics in comparison to one of Kodak’s most popular budget films: Kodak Gold.
Last year, the esteemed New Yorker author David Grann discussed his book, The Wager, with Nieman Storyboard. The interviewer inquired about Grann's methods for...
Pro Image is my preferred ISO 100 color-negative film. I have been using it since 2017. Since I shared my review of this film in 2022, I've explored it further—ranging from pushing it two stops to ISO 400, to overexposing for softer pastel shades, as well as enhancing my scanning methods. In this update, I’ll share all the insights I’ve gained about it and photography as a whole over the last three years. #editorial.
This site serves as a book, spanning five thousand pages and close to a million words. No matter what occurs with the open web or with me individually, you can hold onto a part of it indefinitely. #editorial.
The company has faced a number of internal challenges and changes over the last two years. However, after being acquired by InovisCoat (commonly known as ORWO), Film Ferrania has been striving to resume production. Today, they reiterated their commitment to those efforts. #editorial.
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).
