Last week, Ethan Moses from Cameradactyl shared a video featuring his creation, a novel "film" format that utilizes roll RA-4 paper to produce approximately 100 4x5 exposures in a large daylight canister. These rolls can be employed in Ethan’s oversized TLR-style camera or modified for use as a back on 4x5 cameras. #editorial.
The most delicate task in film development is loading it onto reels. These reels position the film to ensure there is spacing and no contact along the entire strip. This arrangement enables water and chemicals to move freely over the full surface, but it must be performed in complete darkness. #editorial.
Harman has launched a new color film, and film prices are at their lowest in years. Lomography has introduced two new instant film cameras, while both their accounts and Ferrania's have been hacked. Additionally, ONDU Pinhole has ceased the production of pinhole cameras.
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.

Kodak Vision 3 250D is a color-negative film designed for motion picture cameras. Its image quality matches that of Kodak Portra 400 and other color-accurate, fine-grained, low-contrast emulsions when developed using ECN-2. However, for this review, I am processing it with C-41. Additionally, I will compare my results to those of CineStill 400D, which many have asserted is essentially 250D without the remjet (which is not the case).
Harman, the manufacturer known for its well-regarded black-and-white Ilford emulsions, has recently introduced a redscale variant of their Phoenix 200 film. #editorial.
The Nikon AI-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 is a compact manual focus lens designed for Nikon F camera models. In this review, I will discuss my experiences using it with my Nikon FM2n and FE cameras, provide some historical context, and identify the six different variants. Additionally, I will share my opinion on whether the Nikkor is worth the added cost of approximately $75 over the more affordable Series E.
The Facebook page of Film Ferrania has been managed by supposed scammers for nearly two years. The Internet can be harsh, even for renowned brands. #editorial.
Film is an essential product for the analogue photography community. When its price rises or availability declines, the effects are felt throughout the community. Fortunately, the last year has seen more favorable pricing after a period of consistent increases. In this article, I will analyze the most recent results from the annual retailer survey, talk about how prices may vary based on your location, and highlight some of the top film stocks to purchase at present.
Last week, Lomography refreshed its high-end *multi-format* instant film camera models with the Pemberley (shown) and The Blues. #editorial.

Kodak plans to increase film prices this year for its distributors (https://www.analog.cafe/comments/snzw). Alongside these manufacturer-triggered price increases, the new tariff policies in the US (https://nypost.com/2025/02/01/us-news/trump-begins-long-await-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-and-china/) could impact Kodak's costs for importing raw materials from Canada, Mexico, and China to produce its goods. #editorial.
For knowledgeable film photographers, ONDU has been a name associated with premium pinhole cameras for more than ten years. Regrettably, for those who appreciated their lensless creations, the Slovenian camera manufacturer is discontinuing this signature practice. #editorial.
