6 Frames… Of macro-ish photos on ADOX COLOR MISSION 200 and a Nikkor OC 35mm + macro tube (EI 200 / 35mm Format / Nikon F)
I’m happy to have been able to shoot a roll of ADOX’s COLOR MISSION 200! I know rolls of this are hard to come by, and I really hope they release more of it soon. From what I understand this is a completely new color film that was resurrected by ADOX from a past R&D project.…

EMULSIVE’S most popular “5 Frames” of 2020
If you’re celebrating, Merry Christmas! If you’re not, welcome to the end of a year which, well, that’s enough about that. I made a promise to myself early in 2020 that I’d do my best to focus on the positives and share a little more love than usual this year. Things didn’t turn out exactly…

ILFORD HP5 PLUS vs Kodak Tri-X 400 at EI 1600 in the Moscow Metro with the Mamiya 7II
I highly recommend the Moscow Subway Metro. As someone who loves spending time exploring underground, this was perhaps an unexpected highlight of my 2019 trip to Russia. If you are going for a photo trip (after the obvious COVID restrictions are lifted), I highly suggest Sunday mornings between 8-10am. Weekdays will be hell as you’re…

EMULSIVE Secret Santa 2020: Update #1

Tonchi & I: My film photography hero
There are friendships… and there are FRIENDSHIPS that play out like that iconic scene in Casablanca where Rick goes, “Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship”. And that’s how mine and Tonchi’s journey to hours and hours of cameras started. Around 11 years ago I moved to Canada. While there a…

5 Frames… With Kentmere 400 in the HARMAN REUSABLE CAMERA (EI 400 / 35mm format)
Receiving the ILFORD newsletter about the HARMAN REUSABLE CAMERA really threw me off guard. I thought to myself, “Why hasn’t anyone thought of this???”. I’ve run FilmFolk Philippines close to five wonderful years now and there really is a hole in an emerging market such as ours. The interest in film photography amongst the youth…

5 Frames… With Fuji Superia 400 (EI / 35mm format / Konica Waiwai)
At first, I didn’t get the hype but I really respect Dan Ko’s opinion when he said he would buy any Konica Waiwai at the silliest price he could find.

In Conversation With… Fernando “Bobit” Afable / Fotobaryo
Almost a year to this day, on a late January afternoon, I met with three characters who were crazy enough to have woken up one morning and collectively thought to themselves, “Hey, we think we’ll build a film lab.”

5 Frames… With Efke 50 (EI 50 / 35mm format / Edixa-Mat Reflex) -by Aislinn Chuahiock
Last year when my brother travelled to Vancouver, I gave him $200 to visit my favourite camera seller and told him, “Get me a camera, whatever the seller suggests, he knows me, he knows what I like.” My brother came
